Ho Ho Ho!

Although we were still reeling from the move, we managed to squeeze in some Christmas fun. Most of the time, however, it seemed like a comedy of errors. Am I ever going to get a grip again?
We decorated a Gingerbread House...
Here's the finished producet. I especially like the "U" on the tree--courtesy of Andrew of course.
Each kid decorated a side and then we hot glued it all together. Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!The Moore Family Party was at our house this year. Look at all the cute cousins!We opted for the 6 foot sandwiches from Spanky's. I am so glad we did. And this year, for the Nativity at Mimi's we all drew to see who we got to be. I know, that's me--Moooo. The only reason I even considered posting this humiliating picture is because I got my braces off a few days earlier. So, check out my pearly whites!
We got the kids to bed late and so it was around 11 when we started putting together the ping-pong table. It wasn't too bad, so we opend the Foosball box. Here is Frank getting out all the pieces. Are you kidding me?!? Those little packages are full of screws, bolts, and tons of little pieces. I took this picture around 3 a.m. Now, on to wrap presents!We pulled it all together--although it wasn't the prettiest wrapping job this year. Lots of things got thrown under the tree in Wal-mart bags, but nobody seemed to mind.
Christmas Day was great! The little boys played with toys.I know it looks like a space shuttle, but it doesn't say NASA on it or I wouldn't allow it. The big boys worked on their lego sets.Frank made a delicious breakfast of French Toast Waffles. And right after this picture, we took a long winter's nap because we were trashed.Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Tangled up

Joey has been trying to get himself dressed, lately. This morning, somehow, he manged this:
He reminded me of the girl in the Fifth Element--Maybe it's the red hair? I don't know.

Sesame Street Live!

Since we took the big boys to the Killers, we thought we should take the little boys to their own thing. It turned out to be Sesame Street Live. Frank was unable to make it thanks to a little incident involving the keys being locked in the car-which we are still not ready to laugh about- and at the last minute, Mimi came with
The boys loved the show. Joey especially. When it was over, he buried his head in the floor of the E-Center crying for Elmo to come back.

Andrew's tree

Andrew and I went to Ben Franklin's Crafts every Saturday for the last few months. They have a little class they do where you get to make an ornament. Andrew decided that he needs his own tree to display all of his artwork. Looking good, Drew!

Our new digs

It's been a long, dry spell for the blogger in me, and here's why:That's right, we moved into this sweet house. It looks even sweeter with our "U" flag hanging in the upstairs window. So, I didn't realize that it takes 2 weeks to forward mail and 6 weeks to port over our old phone number. So, if you are trying to get ahold of us, we aren't ignoring you--

Joey loved playing with all the boxes while we were moving. We made some holes in this one and he wore it around for a few days.

Phew! Moving is a lot of work. Thanks for all the help, everyone! Now, let's get ready for Christmas!
