As usual, we then spent a nice quite Thanksgiving with The Dewes'. This year we went down to their place. We tried to have dinner actually at dinner time so that all the kiddos would be up from their naps, but no dice. Carson slept through the entire thing and Dayton threw up right after he ate. Always excitement!
A week or so later, we celebrated Carson's 1st birthday! I can't believe he is a year old already. We had a party at the house for him and it snowed that day. He did great! The blue icing on his cake made him look like he ate a smurf ... it was hilarious.
Shortly after the excitement of C-Money's first birthday, we got to experience Christmas as a family of four! Thanks to Delphi, we had an extra long Christmas break. So Santa came to the DiBiaso house the weekend before Christmas so we could have our own Christmas ... then we packed up and headed back to PA for a two week "vacation". It was an event filled trip. Christmas eve with the DiBiaso's. Christmas day with the Hude's. My parents watched the boys while we went to a friends wedding which was a blast. Eric's parents then watched the boys and we actually had a new year's eve out with friends. Eric almost took down the reining beirut champ and Suzie and JD's place. Then we finished up the night at Angela and Zee's. It was the first time in years that we didn't to get up at 6:00 am with the boys! Here are a few Christmas pics.
January and February pretty much flew by. Wonderful Delphi made us all take two weeks of temporary lay off (50% pay). Fortunately, I got to use my first week for my Colorado ski trip! I got to go out there with a few friends and Eric stayed home with the boys. We skied Breckenridge, A-Basin, Beaver Creek, Vail, and Keystone ... 5 days, 5 mountains! No snow thought, until the day we left that is! Anyway, it's been cold as all heck here this winter and the stupid groundhog told us 6 more weeks. So Eric and I just had out second week of TLO (the last week of February) and we are now officially waiting for spring. We're really looking forward to our third week of TLO when we're all going to FL to visit Nana and PopPop.
Oh and if you aren't aware yet ... our house is officially on the market. We put it up in November and have had a fair number of people look at it. No bites yet ... keep your fingers crossed for us. With the automotive industry as unstable as it is, Eric and I just think it's in our best interest to sell the house in case we need to get out of here in a hurry. Well, that's it for now ... I think I'm caught up. Hopefully it won't be six months before the next time I post!
