Awesome day!

So, I know Christmas is all about the Birth of Christ & I really appreciate that... but can I just take a moment and express my enjoyment with the *stuff* we got this year?! There's so much (even though we tried to do a "light" Christmas) I'm not even going to try to cover it all... but here's the highlights:

Dave's parents gave us a small keyboard (piano type) so the girls can begin to learn to play the piano.

Dave gave me an iPod nano - mostly to be used for homeschooling, since I have so many CDs of songs for the girls to learn... but I had no way to play them easily, so we never got around to using them... until now...

Dave also gave me a small speaker dock for the iPod so we can actually hear stuff. And I also got a grater/slicer/shredder attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer, and a new water bottle, and a new phone charger (since mine died a while ago).

We also got ourselves a new bench to go with our kitchen table, so we can now fit 7 people around our table. :)

K and D got a set of bunk beds to give the girls more space in their room, and C got a toddler bed so her mattress didn't have to be on the floor. I've been really excited for the new beds and convinced Dave to get them set up today.

Look how much floor space there is now!!
