My parents arrived on Dec 22nd for Christmas and stayed a week. Christmas was awesome this year with Rowan. She was so excited she opened all of Lily's presents as well as her own. Santa was good to both girls, Rowan's favourite presents were the camera an guitar he brought her, Lily's were actually presents from Mom Mom and Pop Pop and were a talking broom and a walking popper.
My parents stayed at a hotel with a pool so Rowan went over there on her own once and Lily, Rowan and I went another time. Rowan loves swimming and Lily seems to like the water as well so even though it was a small pool it was big fun.
New Years Eve was spent with JoAnn and Paul again. We feasted on Alaskan crab legs and filet mignon. Delicious as always. Rowan stayed up with us again this year but paid for it the next morning - Lily tried to hang with us but gave up at dinnertime, which was around 930pm.
New Years Day for the first time in 10 years I did not watch one minute of the Mummers Parade - instead Angela and I got Rowan and Enaiya together and went to Giggleberry Fair at Peddler's Village - it was fun and a good way to start the year.
Since then January has kept our area in its very very cold grip with no signs of letting up. We have been battling colds and coughs forever it seems and I really wish we were going someplace warm but we have no plans.
Rowan's gymnastics session is over at the end of January and she has decided she does not want to return to it so instead we will be pursuing karate(!) classes for her. Lord help us.
