We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year this year. The kids and us were so spoiled that I am not sure what we are doing to do with everything we were given. Our families are much too generous. I think that once we are moved in to the new house Kenzie and I will go through her toys/clothing and donate what she does not play with and can't/won't wear to the woman's shelter in the area. I would love to teach her the importance of giving not just receiving. Plus, it will help weed out some of the "clutter" that we have :) Christmas was so much fun with a toddler in the house!!! She is still talking about Santa and asking when he will be returning. Mackenzie amazes me how thankful she was for everything that she received. Not once did she complain about not liking something or act ungrateful for the gifts she received. She's a pretty cool kiddo, not that I am biased :) We took the girls to Jason's parents church for Christmas Eve service and Mackenzie LOVED listening to the minister talk. Though she did state in her loudest toddler voice "Why is everyone SO quiet" in the middle of prayer. She and Brooklynn were angels in the Christmas pageant...another thing Kenzie has not stopped talking about :) Brooklynn slept through a good part of Christmas...all the business must have worn her out.
These 2 little girls have made my life so much fun and filled my life with so much love. It is crazy how much I love them and how much I love being a mom. No matter what we are doing or how crappy my day has been they can ALWAYS bring a smile to my face. Everyday I am thankful for them and my hubby...they make everyday so much better :) I could not ask for more. Life is good!!!2009 in review---
