This Christmas was very special to us since we got to spend it with Omi and Opi who came to visit from Germany. The boys had a great time with my Mom and Dad. They were spoiled rotten and they loved it. This was my parents first trip to Georgia. This was also their first time seeing Parker and Tucker in person. In the beginning the language barrier was a problem but after few days Omi and Opi picked up some English and the boys picked up some Germand and the fun began. We played lots of games and went to Stone Mountain for the Christmas Program. It was wonderful. The boys loved the train ride. Unfortunatelly we were to late for the sky ride up the mountain and Zack war crushed because of that. After New Year which we spend shooting fire works with Palmers we took a trip to Atlanta. First we went to see the King Tut Exhibit. It was very interesting and everybody loved it. After that we went to the Georgia Aquarium. I believe we might get the annual tickets for that attraction. It is such fun and beautiful place. The kids loved looking at the fish and Tucker did not want to leave. My parents loved it too. So you could say it is fun for all ages. We are already planning another trip there soon. As great as museums and aquariums are nothing beats a great shopping deal for my mom. She loves shopping and getting a good deal. On January 4th we had to say good bye to Omi and Opi as they travelled back to Germany. That was a horrible day and it took the kids a few days to realize that they won't be coming back for a little while. Parker was really sad. I am just gettin over my parents departure. As our regular schedule sets in it seems to be getting better. Also 24 just started againg and that's a small consolation for my and Tony. Tony's sister Lindsay might also be coming visit this or next month. I'm not trying to get to excited in case that doesn't work out. But it sure would be great. Of course I am not trying to influence anybody here with my posting.
I am sitting here at my kids' dentist and writing all this as Parker's cavities are being fixed. He had 5 cavities and one of them went really deep and damaged the nerve. For this tooth he needed a crown. Yes you heard right my 3 year old is getting a crown and not we do not have too much money. I was not aware that you keep some of your baby teeth untill you were 12. So beware of chocolate. Parker does have a sweet tooth as we can see and it's costing us an arm and a leg.
Today I only have one thing planned and that is to get rid of all the candy, chocolate and sweet snacks in my house.
