Merry Christmas!

I have been meaning to post stuff and I actually have a post sitting and waiting to be posted but I need to edit it first! It's been very busy getting ready for the holidays. We are actually at Randy's parents in Tenn. right now and will be heading to MI tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some snow left as Rayna really wants to see some. I'm just hoping we make it there in one piece with two kids in the car! We have had a good Christmas and both kids made out like bandits with all the presents they got.

A few weeks ago the kids and I went to the holiday parade where they were handing out candy canes. Well when we got home Rayna wanted one. In true Rayna fashion she asked me if she could have a "candy hooker". I laugh every time I say it!! Another saying she picked up at school is, "What the crack, Man?" She even has me saying it now. Lorenzo is starting to get really lovey as he now gives hugs and kisses. It is so sweet to see him reach for his sister and love on her. Of course his favorite part is pulling her hair.

Well I just wanted to give a little update before year end. Here is wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Feliz Navidad y Feliz ano nuevo!!

Late night and more adventures

Yes, I know, it is 2:30 in the morning and my son finally just went to bed!!!! Evil baby! I figured since I'm up I might as well update my blog. It's been awhile and we have been a very busy bunch with lots of exciting adventures I'm not even sure where to begin.

Well I can hardly believe that it is December already especially since it was like 65 degrees out today. Be that as it may, my birthday and Christmas are right around the corner. We are off to Tenn. first to spend Christmas with Randy's family then on to Michigan for a few days. Rayna is so excited to see snow. That's all she talks about. She asked me this morning if tomorrow she was going to see snow yet. She has it all planned out, first she is going to make a snowman and then a snow angel and then she wants to go skiing. That's my girl!!! I can't wait to get her on some skis. I think she is in for a rude awakening though as she is not used to the cold. I have a feeling that after about 5 minutes in the snow I'll hear, "I'm cold mommy!"

My dad was here over Thanksgiving. It was good to spend some time with him. He flew into Atlanta really early in the morning on a Saturday so we made a day of it in Atlanta. First we went and saw a puppet show at the Center for Pupperty Arts http://www.puppet.org/ called "Sam, the Lovesick Snowman." It was very cute. They also have a display of Jim Henson's work like Sesame Street and Fragle Rock. Then we decided to experience a true Atlanta tradition and went to Lenox Square Mall to "Ride the Pink Pig" at Macy's. http://www1.macys.com/media/pinkpig
My dad still can't believe I made him ride the Pink Pig. But I have poof!! Here are the pictures.

Randy's latest and greatest adventure came last Friday. He had spent the week in NY for work and was flying back into Atlanta Friday night. First, Delta called me in the morning to say his flight had been canceled. So he got on another fight, then that one was delayed. Finally he made it back to Atlanta at around 5 p.m. only to discover that he left he left his truck keys in NY. To make a long story short, he ended up renting a car to drive home, drove back to Atlanta Saturday afternoon to have a new key made for the truck.
