I have been the biggest slacker on blogging lately! It seems like the days pass so quickly. Seems like December flew by so quickly! Christmas was good this year, although it was very quiet. Keith's family came over and we ate a nice lunch/dinner. Afterwards, we enjoyed each others company, played games, and played the wii. It was fun playing...for a while...until my 6 year old (I won't mention any names) kicked my trash at everything and ended by saying, "if you want to play with me, you'll need to keep practicing to get better." Ouch...Oh well.

New Years was fun. Naldo was able to come for a long weekend and spend time with us. My mom, dad and I were the only ones that survived until midnight. Everyone else crashed a lot earlier. Well, Sabrina fell asleep at 11:40 p.m. so she just barely missed out! It was fun though. We ate a lot of good food over the weekend and just had fun together.

In our family, January is a busy month for birthdays. (3rd - Mom, 7th - Naldo, 11th - Dad, 16th - Holly, 31st - Alex) We will be having parties every Sunday except for 1 this month!

Sarah got her report card yesterday and is doing very well at school. She was excited to go back to school to see her friend Mikayla. Over the long break, they played together 1 day and had a great time. She is taking AR test for reading!! She took her first test and got 100%. She was excited about that! Sarah has been begging for months to take sack lunches to school. I let her pack her own a few times and take it. I made a deal with her now that we will look at the menu for the week and she can choose 2 days to take lunches. She took one on Tuesday last week and decided to take one on Thursday. She packed it herself again although I did make her a pb & j sandwich. Knowing she had already used her 2 days up for the week, she decided not to eat all of the food on Thursday and save some for friday. When she got home from school, I asked where her lunch bag was and she said she forgot it at school. I asked what food was still in there and she said...well....enough for tomorrow!! She decided to "forget" it again over the weekend. Luckily it only has corn pop cereal in it! Funny kid!!

Sabrina goes to her imaginary school. She has 2 friends there; Katie and Say. Her teacher's name is Snow Angel. She has quite the imagination! If she does something new, you ask her who taught her to do it and usually she will say Katie did. Pretty funny little kid!! She has 2 more years until she starts school so hopefully by then, she will graduate from her imaginary school and be ready for kindergarten. I hear Snow Angel is a good teacher and is getting her ready for "big school." hahah

Other than that, we are back into the routine of things. I will try to be a better blogger this new year. I should really write the funny things my kids say. I have forgotten a lot of them now. Sad..I know! I will be better!! I will!!
