Well it has definitely been some time since I have blogged. I missed my in-laws and my husbands brothers family coming into town, my husbands 31st Birthday, Christmas, and New Years. So I am going to try to make up for all of it in one Blog. So my husbands parents have come to stay with us for 2 months they arrived the week before Thanksgiving and are leaving this Saturday. It has been great having them here, I am glad that my kids are getting to know their other Grandparents. Cian and Zoe love spending time with them, they will be very sad when they leave. I all ready know what Cian is going to ask me everyday when they are gone, "Can Grandma and Grampa come over to our house?" He just doesn't understand the whole distance thing quite yet. Then on Dec 15th Micks older brother Ed came into town with his family and their nephew Adam. Cian had a AWESOME time playing with his cousin Ben, I think he wishes any of his cousins could live with us. Zoe took to Ed right away, I think it may be a tie between him and Mike of who she likes best besides her mom and dad. We had a great time hanging out with everyone it was a very exciting 3 weeks. We had 3 visits to the ER and urgent care, blistery drive up to the Polar Express( it was SCARY), trips to the Zoo one at night for the lights and one during the day for the animals, Chuckee Cheeses and Peter Piper, and a Camp Out at a friends house. Then Mick turned 31 yeah, we didn't do much just had a couple of friends over and of course tons of family, very low key and laid back. Christmas was just a short 4 days later, it was AWESOME the kids had a great time with no complaints about not getting what they wanted. As a family we got the Wii, I am not so thrilled about video games, but my in laws got us Guitar Hero World Tour, it's pretty AWESOME and I am AWESOME on the guitar, Adam and I were the only ones getting into it, or we just wouldn't let anyone else play, anyways I miss my drummer. So then New years came around and we just spent it at a friends house, Cian was up until 2, he loves to party. He finally fell asleep on the car ride home. I am just so happy that Micks family was able to come and visit with us, he is so far from home and I know he misses them so much, when I see him with his parents he becomes a kid again, and when he is with his brother its like he is looking up to him even though Mick is a good foot and a half taller( sorry Ed no joke intended). Your a great big brother. And if you haven't noticed I capitalized AWESOME every time I said it,that's for you Leanne. Anyways it was great Holiday season for our family and I hope everyone elses.
