Christmas 2011

Christmas was really fun this year. Tacoma asked every day if it was Christmas today. So we would look at the Calender and count but he still would ask. I told Tacoma that we needed to right a letter to Santa and tell him what he wanted for christmas. Tacoma said mom can I write 2 letters I said sure He said can I write letter T and letter A. I thought it was so cute. It was fun to do Elf on the Shelf this Christmas and have the Elf move to a new spot every morning and have the kids try to find it. Tacoma would go tell the elf If Malia was being bad and not listening or if he thought of anything else he wanted for Christmas. It was a great tool to have the kids stop fighting I would say the elf is watching and he is going to tell santa you better stop. It worked most of the time. Tacoma asked for a pirate ship. Malia wanted Dora. I got Tacoma and Malia some dress up clothes. Santa brought Tacoma a Pirate costume and Robin Hood and Malia some princess dress up. They have loved playing dress up, Tacoma is usually the Bad guy and Malia is the princess but she always has a sword. Tacoma also got some dinosaur books and a Dragon. It has been fun to see how well he uses his imagination and how creative he is when he plays. Tacoma and Malia usually play really well with each other and are running away from Naomi and slamming the door on her. Tacoma says she is going to eat my room mom she cant come in! Naomi was crawling like a walrus for a while she would lift her whole body up and flop forward she was really fast but she wouldn't use her legs she finally started to crawl normal and is pulling her self up on to everything and walking with her walker she pushes.

We had a great Christmas this year we were able to spend time with Pauls family for Christmas. It was nice to spend some time as a family and do some fun stuff. We went Ice skating, well paul, Tacoma and malia while me and Naomi watched. Tacoma had a blast with his walker. Paul was able to go snow shoeing with some of his nieces and nephews. We went to Pauls Brother Joe for Christmas eve and had a good time with his family and on Christmas day we went to church with Pauls dad. We opened presents on the 26th so the kids could open presents at our house.
