WE are HOME!!!!

So this move did take a bit longer than we anticipated but, worth the wait. We were so fotunate to have mom and dads help for all those months we were able to stay with them and save some money. So now looking back I don't know how else we would have been able to do this any other way. We are beyond grateful for everyones help and support. It was a bit of a roller coaster and a couple times seemed as if someone or something was trying to stop us but, we pushed thru and God stepped in. We really did put all faith in Him and every time I let go and let God handle it, He always made the impossible hoops we kept having to jump through possible. We got the keys February 24 and stayed here that night. Moved all the beds, clothes, refriderator over and celebrated with friends and family. The next day was the BIG move day all the guys emptied our storage and mom, kids and I painted a little and started unpacking. I was actually surprised how quickly they got everything in and how fast i got most of the stuff unpacked. Although it was a lot of work we all couldnt be happier. It is home and it feels GREAT!

Christmas 2010

Although we were hoping to be in our new home for the holidays we has a spectacular holiday season with all our family and friends. Robin and Chris came to town and the four of us got to hang out. We had some good fun and a mini staycation at the Suncoast. Was a great to see them and spend time with them. Christmas Eve we traditionally spend with family go to church and have dinner at mom and dads, get ready for Santa and let the kids open up a gift. As usualy I was the first to wake up Christmas morning and just waited for the kids to come out of their room and see what Santa had left under the tree. They were so cute, bright eyes and Big smiles. It really is a feeling as a parent that you can't describe. Noah got a new drum set and Ella a pink motorcycle. Then we had a gigantic breakfast mom made and watched the kids open gifts for hours. They really got soooo much again this year. I am grateful that they are not yet spoiled. It was a great day. i really don't remember them making a peep all day unless they needed a new toy opened or batteries. They were so into all their new toys I hadn't heard from them for days. Shamika and the twins came over to exchange gifts and then later the all the other friends and family came over for a big dinner and Dirty Santa game. This was the second year we played and it was a blast. So happy Robin and Chris got to play this year too. The stealing, gag gifts, large undies, and dad not rolling doubles and missing the football game was all hilarious. We are truly blessed to have been able to share another great holiday as a big, happy sometimes crazy family. I wouldn't trade any of them for anything even my favorite sis in law Lisa and her crazy game playing. Haha. Family is what keeps us going.

McGeary's go mini golfing!

Mom got us some passes for mini golf. We took the kids last Saturday after they tried so hard to be good for a whole week. It was so much fun! Noah is really good. Sure he beat me. Ella was too cute putting the ball between her legs sometimes backwards. I almost hit a ball into the street. I'm not good at all. But, oh the fun we had that day with the kids. After we went to in & out burger for lunch and shakes. It was a fun family day. The lady at the mini golf place even gave us 2 more passes so looks like we will be going again real soon.

Kids singing at Church

It was one of the best days at church this past Sunday. Ella first came on stage with her class and sang "Away in a manger" which she did soo good. She kept looking at herself on the big screen, it was so cute. THen the best was when she sang the second verse a few seconds before everyone else. I loved every second. She did amazing for her first time. I also later noticed she was trying to tap dance up there also. She thought her shoes looked like her tap shoes so she was trying to hear them stomping while she was singing. What a performer. Then came Noah's class. He was in the front center exactly where Ella was. They sang "Joy to the World" and he got to stand right next to his best buddy Tyler. They both did really good. My favorite was in between the hand motions they were doing he would "air drum" such the Drummer boy. I was beaming and was so proud of them both. What a lucky mom I am to have such great kids.

Make a wish!

Introduced the kids to a fun after Thanksgiving tradition. Breaking the wish bone! haha. The best part was that after using all their strength it wouldn't break so I had to "help" them. It sure was fun though!

Feliz "Mommy God"

And that is the cutest Christmas carol I have ever heard. Thank you my sweet boy for singing the lyrics as you heard them. This is now my very favorite Christmas song and I will always hear it like this from now on. I love you!
