First week of December, almost over...

This week has been so much better. Everyone has been recovering and doing well. It's still been busy but without all those deadlines I am content being a little behind. Still have more decorating, some shopping, cards, calendars, scrapbooking to do... but it will somehow get done.

Here are a few pics from the holiday party we ran out from when Sydney got sick (pics courtesy of Grandpa). This party is given by some close friends parents that Alan grew up with. They have all his highschool friends (who have all stayed in touch) and their children- santa comes for a visit, hands out presents. It's a real treat! When the tradition began a few years ago there were a few older kids, and tons of newborn babies! Two sets of newborn twins and many other single ones. Well all those kids were two this year and there were tons of little ones running around, too fun! In total there were three sets of twins! The kids outnumbered the adults a lot. The Taylor's who host the party were close to Alan growing up, and have been so good to us. They offered their condo downtown near the hospital when the twins were born so early. For a month they allowed me to stay there and come back and forth so could be close the babies and recover, it was amazing! I honestly have no idea how I would have gotten through our NICU stay without them!
