One truth to parenting
People tell you lots of things when you're a parent but one thing is definitely true...the magic of the holidays come back to life when you have little ones. Today I was explaining to Mia how Santa comes down the chimney and it made me remember how magical that time of my life was. Not being able to fall asleep just waiting and waiting for the morning to come and then running downstairs and wondering how he knew what I wanted. I haven't thought about that for years. Just another added bonus.
(can you tell we like low lighting in our house)
Santa Visit
Mia and Maz are ready for the big visit to the strange guy with the white beard and crazy red suit. We had the best intentions but came home empty handed. Mia forgot her list in the car and decided to have a melt-down and Maz just wasn't having any of it. Honestly, I can't say I blame them. So, don't hold your breath for any Santa pictures from the McGraths.

A few glasses of wine and a photo booth...
We went to our friend's wedding and they had this little photo boothy thingy. It was the hit of the reception. Especially after a glass of wine or two. Although, I did find out later that we missed the arrival of Elvis.

Why did I get the cleaning gene instead of the waist measurment gene?
A few things I've inherited from my mother...obsessive cleaning, love of alcohol and a sometimes misunderstood sense of humor that clearly makes me think I'm the funniest person around (even if others don't seem to get it) but really, look at my Mom's waistline? Seriously?

New Camera
Sorry for the lag in posts. We lost our camera a few weeks back. It has been replaced and more posts to come.
The worlds best neighbors
You should consider yourself lucky to live right next door to someone you can tolerate, but we consider ourselves uber luck to have Mark and Marie as neighbors and most importantly friends.
(Although, they do grill meat on the back porch right below our window--other than that, we can't complain.)
A Tent? Really
Last night we went to wine tasting and during the event Amy (pictured) and I decided we would pitch a tent and camp out the night before and then have all our neighbors bring us coffee and we would allow them to go to the front of the line. Not to mention the huge number of interviews we would have as the coolest voting moms in the city.
Hmmm, today I woke up sans wine and..well...not so much!
(the scary thing is I really believed this was a great idea)
The stars are aligned
Not sure what it can be attributed to or how long it will last, but Mia and Maz are having a blast with each other lately. They laugh and play and fight, but the bond they have is really sweet and Dennis and I are enjoying just watching it unfold.
