Santa Visit!

Last week the kids had an amazing visit with Santa Clause at the Sam's Club Home Office! They were lucky enough to be chosen to fill out a survey and then meet with Santa, who then knew EVERYTHING about them! He greeted them by name and knew where Brookelyn went to school, what she wanted, and even that she needed to work on not talking back to her M0m! Brookelyn was blown away. Can you tell she was deep in thought here?

She loved here special time with Santa!
Now Braedyn, ran and jumped on Santa's lap, announcing, "I am your little elf, Santa!" It was hilarious! (he was referring to the elf feet on his shirt.) Santa knew that Braedyn wanted a "jump house" really badly. He also reminded Braedyn not to pitch angry tantrums.

It was a fabulous experience! We can't wait for Santa to arrive in a couple of days!!

I Love New York!

On Wednesday night we returned from the most amazing vacation! It was just Allen and I in NYC for three nights. We shopped, and ate, and walked around the city until our legs and feet hurt so bad I didn't think I could take another step. (Oh, and I was also able to use the bathroom by myself, eat with two hands, try on as many things as I wanted to in the fitting room, and sleep as late as we wanted!)

This is our gorgeous room:

Each morning we had breakfast in the hotel. It was super modern and fun!
On the 13th we got to see a taping of Kelly Live! It was so fun to see all the behind the scenes action.
We also managed to eat A LOT of delicious pizza! If you know me, you know I am not a huge fan of pizza, but New York City pizza is an exception! It was so good! We even ate at the same pizza place that they filmed Celebrity Apprentice!
So, while Mommy and Daddy were away having fun, two little kiddos were also having the time of their lives! Check out this picture my Mom and Aunt sent me of Brookelyn and Braedyn:

Something tells me Daddy is going to be getting quite a few requests for sink baths in the next few days. A HUGE thank you goes to Honey and Aunt B for loving on the the babies and catering to their every whim while Allen and I were able to take a little time for ourselves. It was perfect!
