Another One Bites the Dust...

Another year is gone. My post titles continue to be song titles. So it goes.

I had 2 weeks off of work and a merciful boss who let me take enough time to get healthy again. I had a great time playing barbies and building train tracks and sleeping in and laying around in my pajamas all day. I had a long list of things to do over the Christmas break, but I didn't get to most of it. I should have written "Try to cover every square inch of floor in my house with toys, clothes, and garbage." That one I accomplished. Anyway, here are some highlights from the holidays.Maura's first dance recital. She was scared to get up in front of everyone until she found out she got to wear a tiara.
We got to go on the Polar Express. For a little boy obsessed with trains, it was a dream come true. He had more fun just staring at the trains while waiting to get on than he did actually being on it.This is how he spends hours a day at our house. He has named all of the trains and has different voices for each of them. A little scary.

We found a great home for our Sophie. A lady here in Lehi gave it to her son for Christmas and we hope she is happy. She even gave Maura a white stuffed bunny because she felt bad for taking her pet on Christmas. Maura did pretty good but Collin had a hard time. Right after she was gone we found him on the front room floor with his head in his hands and he said "Sophie is lost. I can't find her."


Santa came through with trains for Collin and a Unicorn for Maura. Maura also got a tattoo kit and nobody left Grandma and Grandpa Bruno's house without one, whether they wanted it or not. We encourage her dream of becoming a tattoo artist. I'm afraid that pretty soon airbrushing tattoos won't be enough and she will want to give everyone real ones.

The kids had a blast and were thoroughly spoiled by all of their Grandparents. Next year I will have three kids to spoil. Yikes.
