Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

I won tickets to see Sesame Street Live. We also got tickets to a meet & greet party before the show. The kids had such a good time. Tyler was so excited. I thought the entire show was propaganda. Cookie monster now says that cookies is an only sometimes food and instead he loves fresh fruits and vegetables. I am so glad that they made this change because Chris and my generation is so damaged by Cookie monster's obsession with cookies. (Sarcasm!)

It was sad for me to see, but Ethan was a little too old for the show. He is growing up and too cool for Sesame Street. I knew the time would come, I just didn't know it would be so soon. He did like the free pizza and drinks before the show. We had a good time, but I can definitly say that we would not pay to see it again. It was nice to have free seats.

Christmas Day...

We spent Christmas in Tennessee with our friend, Mr. Keith. We decided to not travel for Christmas. It was nice to have a relaxing time at home even though we missed our families. Ethan and Tyler both got gameboys this year. Tyler got the advanced gameboy and Ethan got the DS Lite. This was the first Christmas that the boys asked for big ticket items. I got a small taste of what we have to look forward to in the future (cell phones, cars, mp3s...). I got an mp3 player to work out with and Chris got the complete set of Star Trek DVD movies.

Painting Cookies (Thanks for the tradition, Julie...)

I invited my neice and nephew, Joy and Justin, over to paint cookies. It wouldn't be Christmas if we didn't paint cookies. This tradition started with Julie, my playgroup friend, in Ohio. The kids had so much fun!

The Douglass Bunch

We got to spend Thanksgiving Weekend in Zanesfield with my parents. It was a very quick weekend, but lots of fun. Jessica brought her new boyfriend, Brandon. He fit right in. Tyler teased him the whole weekend (Brandon started the fire...). The boys stayed at the cabin with grandma and grandpa and Chris and I got the treat of staying at the Zanesfield bed and breakfast. Good times...

It was a joy to have my brother Chris, Jenny, Justin, and Joy with us. We missed Aaron and his family. We took the kids down to Marmon Valley and rode horses. It was really cold! I don't miss Ohio weather at all! I love the south. We also spent time playing the Wii. So much fun!
