Fiesta, Food, Family, Fun AND FINGERS!!

Well, I survived my first week back at work, BARELY!! It was a rough week, but we all managed. Beau was fussy for Chuck the first couple of days, which was to be expected since we are all on a new schedule now and mommy isn't home. When I wasn't calling home, Daddy and Beau called me. By the it was Friday, I was looking forward to the weekend and to spending time with the boys. Chuck and Beau had a lot of fun at daddy daycare this week- Chuck even introduced Beau to HomeDepot :)

Saturday morning Beau discovered his hands!! This was quite an experience for the little guy- he had to check them out completely! The look on his face was priceless! He just amazes us every day!

We were able to spend Saturday with my mom's side of the family. We had our Brandt Family Christmas party at my aunt Patti's house. It was a Mexican theme with a ton of tacos! For the gift exchange everyone was suppose to bring a white elephant gift or a gift $5 or less- these were quite interesting! Gifts ranged from Jamie's middle school shoes from her closet to stipper Dorthy. It was so funny! And of course we had to recognize the 50 year olds of the group that recently received their AARP cards in the mail and would soon be celebrating the big day! There were 4 of them! My aunties Jill and Bobbie were in on it with the help from my cousin Jamie. As my aunt Bobbie put it, they weren't roasting them, it was just a slight toasting! LOL! There were actually 6 of them celebrating the big day because they didn't let my parents slip through the cracks- although their birthdays were a couple of years ago (and they were the hippies of the group), the Kenny Chesney music was cranked up and they received new Mexican hats from the group. For those of you that don't know my parents, they have been to Mexico MANY times and this is their favorite vacation spot- so the gift was very appropriate!

Today will be a lazy day at our house and I'm really looking forward to a day of relaxation! I hope you all have a great week!
