Merry Christmas
Had a really great first Christmas in England with my partner and boys. Ryan and I did not get a whole lot of sleep, but the smiles on the boys’ faces were so worth it! We dressed up and took a lot of photos. Thank you Bob Aherin & Sue Aherin for all the goodies and presents you sent. Best part was surprising our kids with the Indiana Jones themed room complete with a new loft bed. The boys spent the day playing with all of their new toys and gifts. They really enjoyed their new Arsenal football outfits and football fuzzy robes. Plus what is better than spending the day in our pajamas! Ryan made a really wonderful Christmas dinner and we had a blast with the Christmas crackers. Ready now to make up on the sleep we missed last night. Buon Natale to all my friends xx

Christmas Eve!
I had to work today so when I got home there seemed to be a lot to do in order to get ready. The boys wrote their letters to Father Christmas, made christmas crafts, baked christmas cookies, and read christmas stories together. We put the boys to bed in our room, because ‘Mr & Mrs Claus’ had a lot to do tonight! 7 hours until my boys will be up to see what Father Christmas left them. That means 7 hours to put together an IKEA loft bed, IKEA play kitchen items, make the Indiana Jones club house, find the two missing presents, wrap everything, fill the stockings, and to eat the cookies, the carrot, and drink the milk!

Happy Hanukkah!
We got our new furniture items from IKEA and I was more than excited to finally get our new bed put together. Sleeping on the floor has been fun, but having a bed so much more fun. I will admit it took me longer than it should have because I did not follow the IKEA directions quite easily. I finished and draped my scarves from Cambodia over the top to complete the look.
Tonight the boys and I got together to make holiday cookies. They were not normal chocolate chip cookies, but filled with Nutella and covered with white chocolate stars. They were very delicious! They also got to work on their nightly holiday craft. Tonight is also the first night of Hanukkah. We put together our DIY mennorah and Ronan had the pleasure of lighting the first candle.
