Wish I had pictures to show of Christmas but I actually didn't take any. I was too busy placing the video camera in a place that could get the shot and situating my iphone so that Robert could watch on facetime. And then making sure that no child walked or stood in the way of either! It was madness!
We made some Christmas treats for our pastor and neighbor and other close friends. Robert bought the girls a cardboard play house that you can color which needed to be kept clear of any busy boy hands. So I used several large boxes and made a playhouse for the boys too. That was Christmas Eve. My parents drove in that night to surprise the kids the next morning. And dad put together the train table Robert got for the boys. I need to take a picture of that too. Haven't gotten around to it. Before mom and dad left the day after Christmas I got them to help me put away my decorations and tree. We are officially in End-of-Deployment-Preperation mode. We don't have a for sure date for him coming back (sometime in February)but I am taking it slow and starting to organize and give the house a good cleaning. Getting the carpets cleaned and the van detailed, trying to get the leaves picked up in the yard.... We are very excited for Daddy to come home and want to be able to relax with him! We will not be sharing when he will be back for sure for security purposes. And also because the girls want to be surprised and the fewer people that know the more likely that will happen. You do have my vow that I will do everything in my power to video tape their reuniting and, I guess post it on youtube? I've never done that but it's the only way I can show it on the blog too. I will also be posting a few pictures today since it is Friday. But I do that with my phone app since my pictures are always on my phone anyway. So I will get on that soon, hopefully. Peace Out friends and have a happy new year, since I probably won't blog again until 2013.
