Christmas Morning 2009

Christmas Day was a lot of fun! Instead of Santa coming to our house, we had him take all of our presents over to Grandpa John & Grandma Joan's house so we could open presents with everyone else. We didn't seem to catch too many smiles on camera-- it was a little overwhelming for 2 little ones... but we all had a great time & a great day! Nathan & Alexa's big present was a pop-up tent & tunnel from Santa. We set it up & everyone had a great time playing in it! They also got a food set for their market, lots of fun things in their stockings, Nathan got a firetruck & Alexa got her adorable personalized apron from Aunt Marianne. They also got fun personalized plates from Grandpa & Grandma as well as some books.

Sam & I both got some great gifts including a William's Sanoma spring form pan (for me) & a Cocoa Latte Hot chocolate maker (for Sam. The whole Oldroyd family benefited from that one-- everyone (except me-- no chocolate -- darn kidney stones!) enjoyed delicious Stephen's Gourmet Hot Cocoa from the Cocoa Latte Machine a few nights in a row!

What a fun Christmas-- having little ones really brings back the excitement. I can't wait for next year when they'll be even more into it!

I love their pj's. We have a coco latte thing too and it makes the best hot chocolate. It makes it creamier or frothy or something. But what am I saying, it's not really that good. And who wants to drink calories anyway? I'd rather eat my calories. So, you're not missing on anything. :)

Hi there Supermom.
Lets just say I have a love hate relationship with P90X. My kids got a little jealous that I was spending all my mornings with Tony and it made things a little difficult...However I loved the results! I've never felt stronger, but I need a little break. Yes! please send me your recipes or tell me where to find them. I'm sure you're really busy. I'd love you forever (I already do but, still.) My email address is carefree7@hotmail.com

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also! I met their mom (Laurie) through an email list I got on while on bed rest in the hospital. There was another mom who was supposed to join us who also has boy/girl twins their age-- but she couldn't make it. What a picture that would have been!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
