We start our Christmas the Saturday before Christmas when we travel down to Goldsboro to celebrate with my mom and dad's families. After braving the blizzard here in Winston, we finally made it down to the Strouds' where Rex the German Shepherd was the big hit. The girls went outside at least 15 different times to run up and down the fence with Rex chasing them the whole time. I'm not sure who was happiest to see us go - Rex or Blake, who got stuck going out in the cold with the girls nearly every time.
On Sunday we headed to Rick and Karen's for the Sutton Christmas. The girls had fun with (not so) Precious the cat, and I had fun eating some really good chicken pastry! and lots of other stuff. Kate got Corrine (the Three Musketeers Barbie) who has rarely left her side since. Oh! - and here's a treat for the whole family - Corrine came with a Three Musketeers music CD!! Now we can listen to Musketeers music ALL THE TIME. And since there are only 3 songs on the CD, we get to hear each one A LOT!!! I can now tell the girls how long it will take to get somewhere by how many Musketeers songs it will take. Did you know - it only takes 2 1/2 Musketeers songs to get to Target? Well, it does. Believe me, I know.
