We made it through Christmas!

We had such a blessed and peaceful Christmas season. The kids constantly reminded us how fun Christmas is supposed to be. They were excited for so many things, not just their gifts, although they were plenty excited about their gifts. On Christmas eve we went out to dinner and drove around to look at Christmas lights afterword. Before bed we watched some Christmas specials and opened a gift. Christmas day was so relaxing and enjoyable. We just hung-out together all day at home. This last week has been spent getting my mom's new place set-up and our house moved around. David has been painting our room and getting it ready for the delivery of the baby. I'm trying to make sure that we have everything in place in time and trying not to think about the chore I have ahead of me. But we are excited. We expect the birth to be about one week away. As usual, we'll keep you posted.

It's been too long

There is no excuse for neglecting you for so long. So I'll just give you a bit of info as to what we have been up to. Let's see...In October we took our final camping trip for the season. We went up to Bryce Canyon again and everyone had a great time. I was 7 months preggers and Emma was about 15 months old so the trip had its challenges and limitations. But in true Foy Family style we had a great time. Then there was Halloween. It's amazing how busy the holidays get with kid stuff. There were school parties, neighborhood parties, and of course the church
trunk-r-treat. Then in November we had a peaceful Thanksgiving. We were supposed to get together with friends but Sohpia and Nathan were sick with the flu. So I went ahead and made a super yummy vegan meal (Tofurky and all). You wouldn't believe how good it turned out. Now we are in the middle of the tornado known as December. We have stayed very busy this month with all kinds of Christmas-related activities. In the beginning of the month I made costumes for the Christmas recital at Sophia's dance school. Then we took off to California's Newport Coast for our annual winter get-away. There we visited with David's family and went to Disneyland. Of course, the kids were sick. Sophia and Emma both had the flu. But, as usual, the show must go on. Disneyland was interesting with me having contractions as we walked and Sophia having to use the restroom to relieve her diarrhea every few minutes and Emma throwing-up all over David on the Peter Pan ride. But it was Disneyland and Disneyland is fun no matter what, right? The night after we got home it was our turn to host a dinner party for the dinner club we are apart of. We're talking linens and a full course meal with dessert, decor, and a game for 8 couples! We had a great time, but we were so glad to have that behind us. Now it is crunch time. Christmas is almost here and we are still in the middle of moving my mom into her own place. I just started my Christmas shopping for the kids last night. I managed to find the random things the kids asked for but still have not got my Tofurky. Believe it or not, they actually sell-out. Keep in mind that I am 37 weeks pregnant. This month will go down in our family's book as being one of the busiest. I'll let you know how it all turns out.
Merry Christmas!
