Thursday: My cousin Ronnie, whom I haven't seen since my brother's wedding last October was in Raleigh for business. He stopped by that evening for dinner / wine and had a chance to peek in on the little ones sleeping. It was great to see him and was glad he was able to visit and "see" the babies. I hope his work brings him back to Raleigh more often!
Friday: Mimi came over that evening to help with bath and bedtime. I also recruited Eric's cousin Alisha to come over too and help us decorate the Christmas Tree. (My Jewish family members are such troopers, aren't they?!!!) After dinner and chatting we finally got around to the Christmas Tree around 9:30 pm. Thanks for your help ladies!
Saturday: Our good friend Lillian drove up from Charlotte. The second she got here, I ditched her and the kids and ran to the grocery, and ran back to squeeze in a quick shower. We made dinner, watched a movie, and I put Lillian to work with the kids. She helped with feedings and bath time. Thanks Lillian!
Sunday: After Lillian drove off, I took C & D downtown to pick up Ashley & Noah (our college friends from Chicago) who were in town visiting for a wedding. They came home, ate brunch with us, and hung with the kids (and Meurice) and witnessed the chaos that occurs with a mom home alone with two 8 month old babies and a dog. (I hope they still intend on having kids in the future! :)
Moral of the story - - we had great visitors while Daddy was gone, but because Mommy was such a crazy lunatic by herself, she did not take one picture with ANY of these people and Carson and Dean!!!!! Figures, right? I do have a picture of Alisha & Mimi with the Christmas Tree.
*please note, you are not viewing the Christmas tree incorrectly. It is indeed blocking our closet door. After inheriting the necessary equipment that comes with children -- exersaucers and swings - - we are lucky the Christmas Tree isn't sitting on our kitchen table!!!
