Saturday my parents, Brenda and Ichiro came down.  Due to all the snow, sicknesses and work this was the first our families could get together for our annual Christmas.  It sucked that not everyone could be there but we did have an amazing time.  It was a relaxing afternoon playing with the kids, having a yummy lunch and just laughing!!

Noby and Memere working on the iPad…

Kathy teaching Koji to crawl…

The guys allowed us ladies to escape for a few hours… Ladies Night!  We headed to a local bar that overlooked the ocean.  It was a perfect view!  We had so much fun talking about everything and having some very yummy drinks!

Our yummy drinks…

The ladies…

When we got back to the condo, it was time for our AMAZING dinner!!  Can you guess what we had?

Well some of us did…

Friday Kathy, the boys and I had a relaxing day at the Condo.  We stayed in our PJ for most of the day, only leaving to take a short trip to Walmart.  That night Glenn and Maggie came down to join us.

Noby found Glenn’s blue glasses and wouldn’t take them off!  Check out his chocolate Coco Puff mustache too…

When it comes to food, we all know that I’m not very daring.  I like to think I am but lets be honest, I’m not and I know it.  However whenever I get around Glenn I tend to try things that I won’t normally try.  Why?  I have NO idea, but I do.  Tonight Glenn made Linguine with clam sauce for dinner, not a big deal.  BUT before dinner he handed me a plate saying he made us an appetizer.   I knew exactly what it was when he handed it to me, seared tuna.  Something Ichiro gets all the time.  I guess I made a face cause he asked if I liked it.  I said I didn’t know, that I had to try it.  And I did, and I liked it.  Weird normally I wouldn’t have tried it but with Glenn, I do.  I took a picture to send to Ichiro! haha

So that night was the first time the boys and I had to all sleep in the same room.  This is how we ended up!  It was a LONG night! lol

This coming weekend the family is heading down to RI to celebrate the Blackburn/Hansen Christmas.  You know us Hansens, we LOVE Christmas and can celebrate it anytime of the year.  This morning I got a text from Kathy, she was already in Westerly and wanted to know when I was coming down.  I explained that Ichiro had a Boy’s Night on Friday so we wouldn’t be down till Saturday morning, like everyone else.  After hanging up the phone I thought why not go today, Ichiro agreed.  He said Noby was home sick from school and he had work today and tomorrow and then Boy’s Night on Friday.  Since he wasn’t going to be around I thought, “why not!”  I packed up and headed down…

The first night the boys and I were there, it was just us and Kathy.  It was great to just relax and hang out.  Here’s Koji chilling at the table…

Now that Noby’s in a big boy bed traveling has become an issue.  We can’t just set up the pack n play anymore.  I searched and searched online to try and find something I could buy that day and we ended up getting a Disney Cars blow up mattress from Target.  The first night was interesting.  It took Noby FOREVER to fall asleep, but I have to admit he did great.  he never got out of his bed but you looking around.  I had the video monitor on the floor and every time he looked around you would see this.  It was pretty cute!

We were all suppose to share a room, but when I put Noby to bed I hadn’t set up Koji’s bed yet.  I ended up just putting it together in the living room and as Kathy and I played on our computers, Koji snoozed in the corner…

It was a little to quite today, which usually means Noby is up to no good.  I went searching for him and was surprised to find him hiding out in the laundry basket reading a book.   In this house you never know what you’re going to find!

My second attempt at cookie decorating came this weekend when I tried to make some birthday cookies for a friend.   Matt turned the big 33 this week and Katie invited us to their place to celebrate.  Of course I wasn’t 100% satisfied with how they looked but I took them anyway.  (Ichiro actually made me!)  Everyone loved them and in the end I was happy I took them!!

Check it out… birthday cookies….

Another highlight of being in CT is being able to see some friends that I don’t get to see very often.  This week the boys and I got together with Kelly, Avery and Ari.  We tried to get the kids to sit together for a picture but as you can tell that didn’t really work out! haha

I love that both Koji and Ari are like, “WHAT’S GOING ON?”

What’s wrong, Ari?

Why is Noby grabbing his stomach?

Open your eyes, Noby…

OOPS…
