So it's been a while since my last post, but I promise as we are starting to settle down now, I will post more often about our adventures.
We had a wonderful Christmas in Maryland!
The first weekend home, the kids got to see their biological father. The boys got to play at chuck-e-cheese and walk the mall, as well as go to the Salisbury Zoo and got to ride their new bikes to show off.
Then we had a blast at hanging out with Nonna and PopPop, GrandMere and GrandPere, Grandmom and Grandpop, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Family and Friends the entire time!
First was Christmas. It was wonderful! On the Eve we spent the day at Scott's families house baking cookies, playing around, singing, eating, and we went to Church. After reading The Night before Christmas and another book, we opened one present each and put on our new pajamas for the night. We made our way to my parents house where we read again, spent time with eachother, and got ready for bed and for Santa. Oh and we called NORAD to find out where Santa was before going to bed. Christmas morning was great! The boys opened gifts from Santa and from my parents. After breakfast, we left to go to Scott's house to enjoy some dinner, and fun, family and more presents. After a while we left to go to my grandparents house where we had fun with family, and ate our dessert. After a very long day of excitement, we retired at Scott's house for the night. The kids went to bed pretty good that night. :)
Next on the agenda was the Wedding!! We hustled and bustled after Christmas to get everything together and ready. That weekend was wonderful! The night before the Wedding, Scott's parents prepared an awesome meal for the rehersal. The morning of the wedding, some things went wrong, but then again what ever goes off without any issues? All in all though, it went very smooth! I loved dancing with Scott for our song! We had Scott's sister help choreograph a dance for our first dance! It turned out Magnificant! By far one of the best dances yet was the "bridesmaid dance" as we dubbed it! I created an evolution of dance kinda thing where Anna, Jenn and I danced to a ton of different dances ranging from BeeGee's to Twist, to Kung Fu and Michael Jackson, to the Time Warp and Cotten Eye Joe. Believe me, I wish I could have had it on video! A big thanks to everyone who helped with getting the Wedding and the Reception together and off so smoothly!!
After the Wedding you would think things would mellow out? Well not quite... We had to do New Years... We had an awesome time at New Years with family and friends! Played some games, talked, watched a movie, and "tried" to set off some fireworks! LOL... There were issues, dont ask! LOL
Soon the time came to leave the 'Bury... :( It was a sad day. I spent the whole night before packing and getting all ready in my car to head up to the airport. That was a LONG couple of days!!
Once at the airport, we checked all our stuff in, we hung out in the lounge waiting to board our first plane. The kids did relatively well on the flights... for a 3 and 4 year old, I think they did OUTSTANING! No yelling, screaming, fighting, nor crying! Some bickering of course, and a little louder at times, but what do you expect for sitting still on a 5 and half hour flight??
Once we landed in Seattle, we got our bags and went straight to the hotel. Before settling in, we were right back out to the train system to catch a ride to the Space Needle in Seattle. We met good friends and had an awesome fun filled jam packed day! We explored the Space Needle, the childrens museum, some resteraunts and the train system and monorails. After the night was done, we went our seperate ways. :( It was sad to say good bye, but I know we will see them again someday soon. :)
We got about 2 hours of sleep before checking out of the hotel and taking a shuttle back to the airport where we had to sign in and wait a very long time for our next flight... But long story short, we made it to boarding time. :) We got on our flight and we made our way to Japan! The boys were excited! I tried to get them to sleep on the flight, but it didnt work so much... LOL... But again, the boys did pretty good I think for the flight. No crying, screaming, yelling, nor fighting. Once we arrived to Japan, we were greeted with SNOW!! lots of it! My office met me at the terminal and showed us to our hotel where we got some very MUCH NEEDED SLEEP. :)
