Yummy food, wonderful friends/family, love and laughter. A perfect evening!

Christmas Card

Our three little lovelies. We graciously gave up on the idea of getting a picture with them all together. Therefore it was actually an enjoyable experience rather then the screaming, bribing, embarassing scene that it typically is :-)

Evi-isms

Time for an Evi-ism update. Have to jot these down so I can torture her with them in coming years :-)

-Your understanding of time is limited. Naturally,  as is your age. Your favorite unit of time is: A couple of whiles.
"Mommy, are we going to stay home for a couple of whiles today?"

-Downstores. This continues to be they way you say downstairs. Not sure what dialect it is other then not ours.

-Snanks. As in "Snanks for my snack". This pattern also holds true for "stree" (3).

I often forget she is still only three since she's the size of some 5 year olds! She's as equally entertaining as she is exhausting though for the record she is definitely my cleanest child. Always the first one to put her clothes in the laundry bin and rarely needs to be asked . She has also finally decided to let us cuddle with her. I LOOOOVEEE it!

Wearing daddy's bathrobe from when he was little.

It's The Holiday Season...

Santa came to church! Evi asked for a blue kitty purse and Soph asked for a boy beach barbie. Eleni asked for Santa not to come near her. EVER.

We had a little daily hat parade to display how ridiculously many hats Eleni has. And this is only a small fraction!

Off to get the yearly Christmas tree. One of my all time favorites this year!

Thanksgiving at Yia Yia's!

We spent a WHOLE week at Yia Yia's (with a quick trip to see GG & G too) for Thanksgiving. We had so much fun spending time with our cousins and getting Yia Yia's house ready before her back surgery. We took a trip to EnterTRAINment Junction and saw some incredible train displays, santa, Mrs. Claus & a fun house (which made mommy and daddy nauseous because apparently we are old :-o ).
