Whew...big update ahead!

This past weekend Grandma (or as Turner says "Maw Maw") and Pop were in from Phoenix. The kids had such a great time. Although I had to work both days this weekend, and with Aaron loosing his job, I'm sure it wasn't quite a happy go lucky vacation for them, but it was an important time for us for them to be here. And Denise was such a huge help around the house, and the Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner that she made was her best yet. Way to go Denise! So here are some cute pics of the weekend. We had Christmas with them Friday night so that they could see the kids open the presents from them. And come on, who doesn't want more Christmases!

So the kids had a blast and have already made out like bandits.

Saturday night they had a lot of their friends over to visit. Aaron and I were supposed to be at his Christmas party and staying at a nice hotel for the night (boohoo) but it was nice to not have to be running around all weekend and get to enjoy time with them and the kids. Before the party started, Denise was getting ready, and i told Mackenzie to go get dressed for the party, like wear the new outfit that she had gotten.

So she come back in in a black shirt and jeans and said that she wanted to match Grandma - so cute. Even had to have on the same color socks. So then I had the idea to put her hair in curlers so she could really match Grandma. I mean how cute is this?!

They wanted me to take a picture after the curlers were out but we never got around to it, but this is the picture that is priceless anyways.

Turner has been on a big kick of wanting to feed Austin lately. The other day I let him have a go at it.

But I guess Austin didn't think Turner was spooning the food in fast enough and took things in to his own hands!

Last night we went to a Parents as Teachers program and got to see Santa. Turner was all ready with his big list of things to tell Santa....train, cars, puzzles. Mackenzie finally told him what she wanted, a baby doll that swims under the water. Hmmmm, I don't think Santa has that in his workshop :(

And one more photo op before we left.

Aaron had an interview yesterday. He said it went well except for the guy said he had reservations about Aaron switching jobs too much. But that is what we are going to be up against this round. He is supposed to call him this morning to see if he is in the running for the next round. My fingers are still crossed.
