Our Christmas trip so far...

We had a very nice Christmas Day yesterday. Hannah woke up and asked if Santa had come- then downstairs she noticed that all the cookies we'd left for Santa and his riendeer were gone. She said "Santa ate those cookies all up!" Then she asked where the cup of milk was- I realized that I'd stuck it in the sink after drinking it- so I told her that Santa was tidy and cleaned up after himself :) She was in awe when she saw her stocking stuffed with goodies and she LOVED her Dora Explorer tent/tunnel. She kept saying "Look what Santa brought for me!" After we opened gifts, we loaded everyone up in the car and began the 4 hour drive to Virginia Beach. The girls did great on the drive- Sadie slept most of the way, and Hannah snacked and watched her new DVD's.

Hannah and Sadie had a whole new slew of gifts to open when we arrived at my parents house in VB. Hannah helped play "santa" and distributed the gifts- and also helped rip them open :) Everyone seemed to like thier handmade scarves....and I'm sure they will wear them ...everyday...

Sadie is not sleeping well at all- she has a runny nose and is teething hard core! Hannah woke up last night around midnight and wanted me to sleep with her, so I had to sleep with her knees in my back for 2 or 3 hours until she was sleeping deeply enough for me to pry myself out from under her and sneak back into my bed. I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep...I don't even try to fool myself anymore into thinking I may actually get a good night's rest.

Today we went to see "Yes Man" with Erin and Matt---laughed my butt off!! Jim Carey was hilarious in this one. It was very nice to get out and have some grown up time- eat Mexican for lunch and enjoy a movie. Tomorrow we're going to breakfast with some friends, and the maybe take Hannah down to the boardwalk in the afternoon. I'm heading to bed - maybe I can get a whole hour of sleep in before the sniffly baby wakes up!
