Let's SHINE in 2009!

New Years Day and what are we doing? Just hanging out being lazy cuz Daddy has the day off and we just want to play with everything we've received for Christmas. The tree is down and decorations put away well except for the bells on the front door...OOPS mommy forgot them. They can stay a bit longer. We all got ready for a drive. Nathaniel's great idea of thinking long and hard of what can we do and who can we see, just like mommy busy as a bee! Let's go feed the ducks... and we head off grabbing the bread we have load up in the car. Daddy is dropped off for an hour at the gameland for him enjoying quiet time I am sure. While he is there I take the children and we go visit Nina & Nino with Jacqueline & Nicolas! Nicolas is napping and Nino, too! That's cool as Nathaniel, Isabel, Jacqueline start playing with a new laptop he (Nathaniel) received from Nina & Nino and heads over to the play room. All of a sudden we hear footprints going back and forth, playing, laughing and giggling. WHAT!? Nino & Nicolas woke up...YEAH!! More fun...it was great to visit with my best friend, Theresa and just for a bit as I am always running late. Yes, we headed to pick up daddy although our time was fun chit-chatting and children playing is always greatness! So, we head and pick up daddy to head for the ducks. Rainbow lake was full and the ducks were afloat and on ice! Their stomachs never let them down the minute we opened the car doors they flocked over. Here are some memorable moments Nathaniel got a bit frightened of the taller ones trying to get the bread so he threw a slice at them and that didn't work. He figured it out. Isabel enjoyed them and the taller one was bugging her she knocked him on the head and he left her alone so she could enjoy them well. A great New Years Day!
