Oma did such a wonderful job taking care of Brooke and Alex while we celebrated our 10 year anniversary in NYC.  We got home late Saturday night and Sunday we all went to beach all day long with Oma.  The kids had a great time playing in the sand with her and knocking down her sand castles.  After lunch at the beach and being there for five and a half hours we washed up and headed to Pungo Pizza for dinner on the way home.  Monday the kids and I got to play with her all morning before we drove to the airport.  They had a great time with Oma!

We had a great Christmas celebration with Oma and Opa visiting.  We saw Christmas lights a day early because of expected rain.  We enjoying visiting Christmas Towne on Christmas Eve morning, making Christmas cookies for Santa, and our traditional Chinese dinner before setting out cookies and carrots for Santa.  Santa came and brought the kiddos exactly what they asked for: a little Christmas tree to decorate and a T-Rex dinosaur with mouth that opens and closes.  They also got many many many gifts from family and from us too. Oma and Opa enjoyed opening their gifts from the kids and from us as well.  After opening presents, the kids got to try out their new scooters we got them.  Everyone helped me make dinner which was wonderful and we all enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner.  Merry Christmas!

Oma and Opa visited us the week of Christmas and we had a great time having them! We enjoyed some fun at the park on a warm day, seeing Christmas lights, going to Christmas Towne on Christmas Eve, celebrating Christmas and enjoying playing with all the toys afterward.  They even got to see snow flurries before they had to leave!

 

Ammy and Papa Watch Brooke and Alex

Ammy and Papa did a great job taking care of Brooke and Alex while we were away on our vacation to the Bahamas!  I was super nervous about leaving the kiddos, not because I thought that Ammy and Papa wouldn’t do an excellent job, but because it has been so long (never for Alex) since they’ve been without at least one parent.  We had WiFi and I sent a picture of us when we arrived to let Ammy know we were safe.  Ammy wrote us sweet emails with pictures of the kiddos so we knew they were not only safe but incredibly happy.  The four of them had a great time and both kids were better behaved than they usually are for Mommy and Daddy!!  Here are the pictures Ammy took. 🙂

Solar Eclipse

Oma and Opa were here to enjoy the solar eclipse with us today.  We had 87% of the sun eclipsed by the moon at the max and had some fun watching both sides of the eclipse.  We also enjoyed noticing the change in light at the max, the eclipse pattern from the trees, and making pinholes viewers with our hands.  AJ took his glasses with him to work and stepped outside to view the eclipse during his shift.
