Catching Up!

We've been so busy in the last month we haven't had any time to update our blog. I didn't mention this sooner because I wasn't sure if it'd go through or not, but Davie and I bought our first place last month. It's a 3 bedroom condo just a few blocks where we were living. We looked at some homes north of Logan but decided it was better for us to be living in town for the next few years while Davie's finishing up school. It's not anything big, but it's bigger than our apartments and a lot nicer. The sellers did a lot of work fixing it up and they put in a new kitchen, so it's a step up for us. We're so excited to be done renting and to have our own place. Johnny likes the new place, it's a much better layout for him and he can run around a bit more. We also have a small fenced in backyard, Johnny keeps asking to go play out there, but it's been so cold and snowy, he needs to wait a couple months. We're still getting things settled, we didn't have much time last month with Christmas, but it's getting there.When we're all done organizing I'll post pics.

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. We spent it at Davie's parents. We went down a couple days before and got to stay for about 5 days. All of Johnny's cousins were in town and he spent the whole time chasing them around and playing. When we came home he kept asking for "Miram", (cousin Miriam). On Christmas Eve we went to the Nutcracker, a tradition in Davie's family, it was lots of fun, it was fun seeing how excited the younger kids got about it. Johnny was excited about his presents Christmas morning, but then saw his cousins and aunts and uncles presents and wanted to play with those instead. Now that we're home he's been playing with his toys though and has been way excited about them. Davie was awesome and got me new kitchen stuff for Christmas this year. We now have real pots and pans! He also got me a spice rack and a new knife set that matches our new kitchen. Davie had to wait a couple days after Christmas to get his main gift, it had to be hidden at my parents so he wouldn't find it early, but I got him a painting he really wanted, "The Prayer at Valley Forge". It's the only picture hanging up at our house right now.....he couldn't wait to hang it. We had a lot of fun with our families this Christmas, and it was a nice break from moving.

Things are getting back to normal here, we've all been really sick this last week so we haven't got much done, but we're hoping to get better and to finish organizing our new place soon. As soon as we're done we'll post pictures.
