So today I took my little dumplings and a friend of Avery's to see Santa at Aaron's work. What fun that was. Afterward we braved against the other shoppers and headed to our mall...ugh! Yep the mall. I got some great deals with some gift cards Ive been saving up, it was great. I hate shopping I think I lost everyone at least once even the child that wasn't mine (that's usually the one you pay attention to most so you don't make the other moms mad) and still lost her...the only one I didn't lose was Eben and that's only because he was strapped to my chest. Then headed for what was a pleasant evening spent with many people over 50 and my husband...we had to attend a banquet that Aaron was asked to attend, we were the youngest ones there...LOL...but hey it was free food (good might I add) and I got to socialize and spend time with my hubby, so hey its a win win situation. Right?
On a more serious note, this past week I got really sick with yet another cold, so did Eben, we both seem to be doing better, however, I never got to say goodbye to my amazing sister in law and adorable niece and nephew, they flew out today to go live in Washington D.C. I am so sad by this...for so many reasons. I love....LOVE....Aaron's family. I have great in laws. Don't get me wrong Aaron and I have been married for 10 years and it hasn't always been buckets of fun. It is so hard to figure out what and where you fit into a family. I come from a very different one than him and it was hard adjusting, as it was for them with me I'm sure, you might think I am amazing but let me just say I am no picnic. Anyway, along with loving his family I love all of his brothers. Aaron has 7 of the greatest brothers. They are all so different and so amazing, I also love them because I know how much my husband does and hey that's a good reason. However I have to admit the ones that live closer by I think I may have a closer relationship with. Tyson and I used to butt heads, we were not supporters of each other by any means. Over the last several years however I have truly come to love this man. He is my FAMILY. He is very good to us and is a great member of our extended family. But, when it comes to his wife....tears are coming now. Even if Tyson is a stinker, Stacey makes up for it, and since the twins were born well x that by 3. We adore this family. Stacey is incredible. She is one of those woman who makes things that I think are hard look easy. Such as raising twins....hard to me, easy to her...crafts, me I'm not good at, Stacey...amazing Martha Stewart would be lucky to have her. She is awesome. Stacey is all the things that we say to ourselves we want to get better at or improve on. She is incredible. Have I mentioned that? I know, why tell her now? Well why not? I really do have amazing sister in laws. I was lucky to have a brother in law like T but BONUS when we got Stace...I will truly miss you guys. Have fun. Take lots of pictures, enjoy every minute, and know that in some little ole' crap town like Richland Washington...Prosser too....there are a whole lot of people who are waiting for you guys to return.
BTW...I will mention Aaron's three younger brothers...Ethan, Eli, and Ira...I have been around for almost 11 years. Well I have literally sat back and watched these boys turn into men before my eyes. I have the deepest love for them. They are my brothers. Whenever we go to there house they meet us at the car, they offer to carry the kids, carry our stuff, come help us move, come hang out, watch our children, entertain us with jokes, and stories, learning about their love lives the things that fill there days, and all the things in between. I love these guys, they really are the three forgotten ones at times. Just so they know I haven't and don't forget them, I probably just forget to tell them.
