Christmas Party Weekend!

Doug and I got to kick off December in Columbus with work parties, sans kids!  Love hubby weekends!  Friday night we checked into the hotel downtown, snazzied up a bit and walked down to his work Christmas party where we ate tapas and drank wine.  It was so much fun...I just love the people he works with.  They are so much fun, easy to talk to, all around great people!  Lots of stories from the night...including a mustache shaving, tackling and shoe throwing.  I leave it at that:-)  It was fun!!

Saturday we slept in, picked up lunch and went to visit our great friends the Wendorfs who just added another little girl to their bunch!  One of the MOST adorable babies I've ever seen!  They are some of our very favorite peeps (Katelyn's Godparents:-)) and I wished we could pack them in our car and bring them North to live near us! 
Saturday night we went to my work Christmas party for dinner.  It was fun and neat to be a part of.  When I first started at this company...it was a bit of a risk...only 20 people working there, start up and I was working part time (mostly from home).  I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into!  Now the company employs 300 people and we are the second largest of our kind in Ohio!  It has been fun to watch the company grow...and fun to celebrate outside of work with my teammates!

We left a bit early from there to go over to Doug's bosses' house.  So much fun...more wine, more food, more laughs.  All in all...great Christmas party weekend! I am so thankful we both have been blessed to work with such fun people!!  Below are pics from Saturday night at Doug's second work party....fun!



And...I just think my hubby is so handsome...liked this pic, so I had to post.  As gorgeous as the first day I saw him:-)

Words...

...Can't describe how much I love to hear my little munchkins speak their first words. Kate's been speaking new words every day...sentences (her favorite..."I got you"...followed by a cheeky grin and laugh). It really is one my favorite things about being a mom...watching them learn new things, speak new words, do new things. Not much can compare. Even Ava's 50 billion questions in a row..."Mommy...how does the sun go down?" or "Daddy...how does it rain"...followed by 50 more "why's" and "how's". I don't think I could ever get tired of that! We snapped a quick movie of Kate's speaking her word for Grandpa..."Pee-paw". Yes...she calls him "Pee-paw".

Squeaky Sue

After 6 days with a sore throat and a gradually fading voice, my voice box decided to call it quits today. I didn't realize until I called my dad up this morning at 8am for some guidance on a utilization calculation for work, opened up my mouth, and....nothing! So...this was a dilemma. Husband out of town. No voice. Two demanding children. Hmmmm. But we made it through today. With some squeaking, a lot whispering, some "mom" grimaces (and smiles too)...we made it through. Ava kept saying..."mom, talk loud" and at times got frustrated, but by the end of the day she was so cute and whispering with me. I explained to her this morning that my voice was sick which was why I had to whisper...and then later in the day she started asking..."voice feel better mom?" She also just thought it was so hilarious when I put her to bed, whispering her prayers, Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer (our nightly bed-side routine for about the p...

Meeting Baby Colin & Sibling Rivalry & Roosters

The highlight of today..meeting baby Colin...new bundle of joy to our good friend's Jenn & Brian. He is adorable to say the very least and Jenn & Brian are naturals! Of course when you go to a new baby's home you want nothing but to bring a peaceful visit. I don't know what we were thinking bringing our 1 & 2 year old kids (sorry Jenn & Brian!). As soon as we got there, Ava & Kate started full fledge fighting over who got to sit on my lap. After numerous girl screams, hair pulling (mostly by Kate), pushing (mostly by Kate) and knees to my stomach (Ava)...my husband, who was sitting across the couch laughing, finally came to my rescue...for them only to crawl right back to me and start the whole thing all over again. The girls have desperately been vying for my attention lately...much to Doug's comedic relief (and honestly sometimes...to my wits end). I just keep reminding myself that there will most likely come a day when my girls will outwardly wan...
