he bears gifts,I bear a messy afternoon

Well Eric is finally home after a 5 day stay on a beach in Oregon. So glad my babysitter son is home!! We all missed him so much and I blew his phone up and his email box daily.



He brought home 4 angel ornaments that resemble each child and have their names on them. This is my long lost blonde child.



I got a seashell covered jewelry box that will now house my rings. I love it.

Dad's gifts are at work with him as we speak so no pics!




I thought Max and Mila would have fun with a new project. I made play dough from scratch and they scattered dough, flour and chopsticks all over my kitchen. But they had a blast!



showing us his kabob! He had a 101 fever so he's looking a little blah.



then I started finding new "ornaments" in our tree.

Right next to my 2 favorite ornaments so far....



little E!



I LOVE school ornaments. We always get them as Xmas gifts from the kids and I can never wait until Xmas to open them. I have 3 from Damian but he picked this one to hang up.

I can't wait to add Brandon, Max and Mila's to the tree.

We also have Brandon's holiday sing-a-long this Friday and we can't wait to belt out Xmas songs with him!!
