Busy New Year

Well, it has been a crazy busy last 5 days. My husband left Lexington last Saturday after Christmas to drive my mother's car to Texas so she would have it when she moves. So my mother flew back here with me and the babies. Again, surprisingly, they did great on the flight.

We all got home with my husband's help of meeting us at the airport and helping with the car seats and luggage. That nite my husband's parents came over to see the babies and to bring some additional presents that "appeared" (Santa had made an extra stop). My husband's mother also had gone shopping the day after Christmas and apparently found a huge sale on baby clothes. The babies got so many cute outfits it was hard to decide what to dress them in the next day!

We took the babies to their grandparents for the day and nite of New Year's Eve. My husband, my mother and I went to the Barkin' Ball party and had a blast. My mother ended up bidding on and winning a birthday package from the Baylor Spirit Squad - for the babies' first birthday!! It will be fun and quite the unusual first birthday party if I do say so myself. Now we just need to decide on a theme and get the party booked. Since the babies' birthday is on a Wednesday we were looking at the weekend before or after. We have to book it around the Baylor basketball schedule so the Spirit Leaders will be free and there is a game the Saturday before and after so we will look at a Sunday. I have to wait until Monday to call Baylor to get with the squad's sponsor. If we can make it work the Sunday after, which is Valentines' Day, maybe we can do a red Valentine theme.....That way it won't be to girly for our son.

Anyway, today my husband is out on a quail hunt and I have a few errands to run while my mother is here today to watch the babies. Tomorrow, I take her to the airport while my husband's mother keeps the babies. Maybe then I can work on getting the Christmas decorations put away when I get back but before picking the babies up. This is the longest that we have ever left Christmas decor up but with 2 babies the days fly by. Of course, I wouldn't change it for anything!!
