I had fun with the kids and their play date today. Kai's friend Uno came over and got to meet Nico. The boys had fun playing with thier new toys from Christmas and after Uno went home they played hide and seek all day!
Nico's cold is getting better, he still has a cough and minor congestion, but no fever so it should be over soon. I've been feeling a little under the weather too, but have started taking zinc and vitamin c to help me. Kai and Cassia are still healthy, hopefully they don't catch the cold. It's so not fun having to take care of two sick babies while being sick too.
I love my new laptop! Oh, I forgot to tell: Jimmy bought me a great new laptop to work on!!! Now I have no excuse to work on my business plan more often! I love you Jimmy!!

Holidays, Family and Snow!!!
I can't believe I've been so busy with holiday preparations and children that I haven't had time to update the blog. Well, Thanksgiving we had Nicholas with us and I made the classic dinner of roasted turkey, mashed potatoes with rutabaga, green bean casserole, stuffing muffins (very kid friendly, what kid wouldn't want to try a muffin with dinner?), praline yams ,cranberry-orange sauce and pumpkin pie. We are a carb friendly household!! We did the turkey sandwich thing the next day and then I made the once a year turkey gumbo....oh I could go for a bowl tonight.
After Thanksgiving, I was on a mission to ready the house for our visiting guests. My best friend of over 20 years and her family stayed with us for a week! I was so excited to see her because I haven't seen her or her family in years (they live in England). It was great to see her daughter who is now eight because it gave Jimmy and I a glimpse of what's to come with our little girl. Jimmy and James (that's Keilani's husband) got along so well, I wish we were neighbors like when we were little girls. I got to have a girly moment of shopping for make-up and nail painting. These days I only wear make-up or paint my nails for special occasions, so it was really fun to play around with it everyday like we did when we were roommates. I also enjoyed how our children took to each other and played so well together. Baby Bella wanted to be like Pixie and I think Kai had his first crush!!
They are visiting with her family for a week then will come back and spend one more day with us before flying back to England. I'm so excited! Nicholas will be here too, so we will have a very full house for a couple of days ^_^
I've been too busy for my usual homemade goodies so everyone will be getting either a suitable substitute or late treats.... sorry. If you haven't received a card from me that's because I haven't sent them. Too much snow and horrible service from the US postal service has made me consider New Years cards instead. Speaking of snow, I used to enjoy its beauty, but now I find it a nuisance and wish it was spring!!
Just a few more days to Christmas and I still have no idea what we are doing so updates might not happen until the new year.
I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and love to you all!! XXXX
