It's Time to Catch Up with the McCoy Family

I have been back to work for 4 days now since I had 11 days off in a row. You'd think that during that time I would have posted something new everyday; but let me tell you, I barely cleaned while I had all that time off! I spent most of my time doing the most important thing I could think of - playing and using every waking moment to be with my kids! I did do a bit of cleaning, but not a whole lot - and I DO NOT feel one bit bad about it..... I figure that when I die, I am not going to wish I had spent more time cleaning; I'm going to wish I had spent more time with those who were important to me. So there it is!

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday season. It was exciting for several reasons. First, Chase lost his first tooth on Christmas Eve. What a lucky ducky; the tooth fairy and santa claus both on the same night!

Christmas Eve is always spent at my Mom & Step-dad's house, which is really fun because we each open one present, the kids get new jammies, and we have an awesome dinner! Plus it's a fun time to get dressed up.

Christmas Morning is always at our house. We have decided that since we're the ones with the little kids, everyone else should come to us! It's much easier that way. Our kids got so much stuff this year, as always. Marcus and I tried to cut down on the number of gifts - but the Grandmas and Grandpas sure didn't!!!!!

Here's Madelyn's best present, which she was quick to share with Chase.

It was a fun Christmas. Tomorrow I will post some pics from our trip up to Monterey!
