Christmas finally came for the Stickley family today when we all gathered at Mammaw Nova's for some Christmas hijinx.
Mammaw Nova got the girls these awesome stuffed horses which were quickly named Bullseye and...well, Bullseye (they are obsessed with Toy Story at the moment).
The rest of the day it was Nova saying: "I'm a cowboy girl!"
Tonight it was back to Grandma & Grandpa's to make use of the technology and watch bowl games. Thanks to our last minute quick thinking and Ed spending half a day rewiring his A/V system, we were able to overcome the lack of cable TV at Grandpa's house and watch college football.
Actual cable TV being watched at Grandpa's house: From Ed's satellite dish in Toledo, through his tuning box, through his slingbox, into cyberspace, into my computer, into the TV.
As the New Year approached, I was a bit sad to not be in the midst of all the fireworks craziness that takes place in Hawaii on New Year's Eve.
As we all yawned and worked to stay awake until midnight, the adult played some games...
Alex in deep thought over a Pictionary game:
...while the kids watched Toy Story 3...AGAIN!
Juneau & Nova were both WIDE awake as midnight approached:
Marshmallow guns double nicely as confetti guns for New Year's
Happy New Year!!
Making "confetti angels"
So, after a New Year's ice cream treat for everyone (including my children) at 12:30 a.m., it was finally off to bed and now at 1:00 a.m. they are finally asleep.
The past year has seen alot of changes for our family including a move back to Hawaii, a new house, 2 little girls growing and growing, and most notably, mommy leaving for deployment. This year promises to be filled with lots of important events but obviously none as important as mommy coming home.
Happy New Year!!
