Yes we are around and someday we hope to get back to updating this page like we use to. Turns out moving with two little ones take a lot of time. Sadly we still have boxes to unpack and a long list of projects to complete. Though through all the fun we contine to snap some great pictures. I finally posted up all those pictures. Go to the photo gallery to see them
Thats right the total for this year is more than double last year. We added 30 boxes of twinkling net lights to the lawn bringing the new total 8335 lights. The great thing about these lights are they only use a total 425 watts which comes out to about 11 cents ever 2 hours. To put things into perspective our Christmas tree with 300 standard lights uses 305 watts.
Santa visits Rocklin again. He is greeted with three more kids this year. The triplets to be exact. Like last year Austin got up there and showed everyone how it was done. Kaitlyn followed soon after and wanted nothing to do with the man in red. Sydney and Lucas also wanted nothing to do with him while the triplets who didn’t know better sat and pulled at his beard. All of them got a present from Santa so they were happy. We snapped a handful of good pictures. Sadly everyone had a camera so each kid was looking at a different one for the group shots. Maybe next year we will be more organized.
Today the Family boarded a plane to Disneyland. We packed every trick we could fit in our bad to avoid being that one baby on the airplane you wished you didn’t sit next to. This included cheese its, pirates booty, fruit snacks, teddy grams, dumb dumbs and more. We got Kaitlyn some head phones so she could watch elmo on my ipod. I also had a computer with elmo on it. Lastly we had her favorite blanket, 4 of favorite books, 5 pacifiers in case she decided to throw one, and juice.
We arrived at the airport with an hour and a half to waste. The airport has a family line for security screening so after I got dressed again Kaitlyn had to go say hi to everyone in sight. She ran from one end of the terminal to the other. We boarded a pretty empty flight which was nice and Kaitlyn just sat there and watched elmo on the ipod. About every 30 seconds she pushed the button that exited the video and asked for help starting it again. After about 15 min of that I turned on the laptop and she just laid down to watch. About 40 minutes into it she was out. Slept through the landing, de boarding but woke in time to get her bag.
Overall it went very well.
