Christmas was fantastic!

Christmas this year has been the best one yet. It was our first Christmas in our PJ's all day without a care in the world. I think my oldest has more then enough to keep him busy after Santa made the bar for gifts a little high with a PS Vita, games for it,legos that glow,bey blades not like the 50 he had was enough and my favorite book with plenty of other things.Hubby and I replaced his playstation that was ruin this summer in Tallahassee along with a tablet. I think Justin will be busy until school starts back up. Christopher loved the train set and had a blast putting Mickey the cat in his play kitchen oven. He thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. Mickey got him back by detailing his train over and over. Although I miss my family back home it was nice for a change for just the four of us.  We ended the night with a movie "Trouble with a curve" by the way is a really good movie. It's a must see if you like baseball. We are thinking about taking a trip back to New York next year to see the ball drop maybe even spend Christmas there to see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. That will be a little insane with all the extra people there for the holidays. Just a reminder no stroller this time. The streets of New York are not made stroller friendly we learn that last time. Maybe a baby carrier/backpack of some sort to carry Christopher in will be just fine with me. Overall my boys made out this year with Christmas. I can't even walk in their room. We didn't forget others like a man on Christmas Eve who was out on a street corner with a sign that read "NEED HELP FATHER OF THREE TO PAY RENT TONIGHT." I cried instantly as I pulled out money my hubby was on top of it as well. Justin didn't forget about our troops he sent them coffee with his own money and we matched it to make sure they would have something on Christmas. We will send them some girlscouts cookies too. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas this year may all your hopes and dreams come true.

Christmas Night

The night is quiet expect Mickey the cat who is attacking the gifts as Santa puts them under the tree. This year is coming to an end with gifts and toys. Maybe a new brother or sister in the coming month still to soon to tell. My hubby and I made a new family tradition this year as Santa made a pit stop to our house to drop off a Christmas book to read before he comes back to rest with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies. A green pepper is sliced in eight pieces for the reindeer. Tonight was the only night my son kept telling us he needed to go home from our trip to see Christmas lights in St. Pete. He had a hot date with his bed from what I heard with his pillow. Justin always makes me laugh. His face was shining bright when I put him to bed. He awaits the man who has taken on the role of Santa. The stockings are filled the little tree our boys picked out is packed tight. Now its time to walk to my bed to fall fast asleep as it will not last long. Morning will soon be here. The best part is yet to come! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Restaurants

It never fails at any restaurant we go to we end up telling off our server. It doesn't matter if its a upscale restaurant in Panama City at the Holiday Inn or Olive garden weather its here in Florida,Pennsylvania,Michigan or Alabama.
Carrabbas Italian Grill,Outback or the last place we went to Estela's Mexican Restaurant they all seem to have the samething in common. They serve over my two year old head. When he was just a baby I thought we were going to jail. For the fact is the server almost droped a pot of coffee on him. My hubby and I both stood up I put myself over my baby while my hubby took it from the waiter. I have never seen my hubby mad like he was then. All we got was a sorry then he almost dropped a plate on another baby across from us. That couple left in the right to. I don't know about you but it should be a no brainer don't put anything over a baby or child's head. Every restaurant we have been to something happens. We now use a booster seat so Christopher is in the middle of one of us. We have been doing this since last May. It has worked out very well. We no longer have a heart attack when we go out to eat which is once a week. It's our way to treat our family. We can enjoy our food instead of wondering if something will happen.  What have you found to bug you when you go out to eat? Please let me know what else to look for.
