Hormones
Sometime in early December, I don't remember the day, I got a call from Trevor telling me Ariana was in her room crying with the door locked. She wouldn't tell him what was wrong, and wouldn't get ready for dance. He said she came home from school and when he asked her how her day was she just started crying and ran to her room. I asked to talk to Ariana. She picked up the phone and was crying. I asked what was wrong and she said, "Nothing." I asked what happened and she said, "Nothing." I asked her to please stop crying and get ready for dance. She told me she didn't know why she was crying. She said the hormones got her again. lol I told her just to breath and to get ready for dance. She was scaring her dad. Poor Trevor. I guess it is now hormone season in our house.
Ice Skating in Detroit
December 26, 2010
Today Trevor took the girls and I ice skating downtown at Campus Martius. It was so much fun and so very cold. The girls were all bundled up in their styling winter gear and looked absolutely adorable. Ariana looked like a million bucks with her khaki swede coat with a fur hood and a very colorful hat and a cream scarf. She looked like she just stepped off of a movie set. Her smile was so big there was no mistaking the fun she was having.
Julia looked so beautiful and grown up. She was wearing her new makeup and new plaid peacoat with a multicolor hat and scarf. She looked so old. She also looked like she could have just stepped off of a GAP billboard. I couldn't tell who was having more fun, me taking all the pictures or Trevor and the girls skating all over.
Trevor then took the camera and I went skating with the kids. We all had so much fun. They loved skating downtown. It is not that often that we get down to Detroit. Well, at least the girls and I don't get down there that often. Trevor, however, is down there Monday through Friday. It was nice of him to want to make that drive on a non work day to take us down there.
Once the girls decided they had enough and were too cold and hungry to skate any longer, Trevor took us to where he works. He then gave us what her called the "nickel tour". He showed us all the equipment he is responsible for and works on. The girls were very impressed. Trevor even took us in the creepy horror film-esc elevator. Now we know why he takes the stairs when he is a work. That elevator is CREEPY!
After the tour we headed over to Lafayette Coney. Trevor and I got coney dogs and coney fries and the girls got plain hot dogs. I don't know why they don't like coney dogs. Yum-o!!! I can see why people LOVE this place. Julia even tried the coney fries and liked them!!!! After Layette Coney we headed next door to American Coney. We figured we needed to do a taste test there to see which coney we liked best. So we had coneys and coney fries at American Coney as well. Very tasty too. American Coney is more commercialized and seemed like a chain. Lafayette was old diner style and authentic "hole in the wall". We thought Lafayette tasted the best and was our favorite. Definitely a place I want to eat at again.
I had a fantastic day with my wonderful husband and awesome kids. We created some great memories that I will treasure always.

Christmas Eve
December 24th, 2010
Christmas Eve!!!! We had the family over a little dinner and gift exchange. The dinner was simple but good. I served Christmas pasta with salad and bread. Trevor made his famous apple pie for dessert which is always a group pleaser. We all had a good time. After dinner Matt, Sonia, and Gabrielle came over. Ariana and Julia had fun playing with their little cousin.
After Trevor's family left for the night, Steve came over. He had driven down from the Soo after work. We got out Apples to Apples and play a game. It was great family time. Then it was time for my parents and Steve to leave and for the kids to get to bed. After all, Santa was coming that night.

Movie Night
Trevor and I had this great idea, to have a movie night with the kids. We saw previews for the remake of Fame so we ordered it from Netflix. We got the popcorn, M&Ms, and Reeses Pieces and settled in for a family movie night. As we were watching the movie we realized it was horrible! There was no plot. I can't even tell you what the movie was about or who the main characters were. It was a dud. The only one that liked it was Julia. We still can't figure out why she liked it. It must be because there was about 2 minutes of dancing in it. Even though we didn't like the movie we still enjoyed hanging out together.
Sledding
December 23rd, 2010
I didn't have to work today so I took the kids and some of their friends sledding. They had a blast. I, of course, brought my camera and took lots of pictures of them. I was having a good time and then Julia came up to me and asked if I took enough pictures and if I would go sit in the car now!!! :( She wanted to sled with just her friends and didn't want me to be there. It was funny and sad all at the same time. I understand how she wanted to be with just her friends but I was sad that she didn't want me there either.
Stop growing up Julia!

Things I Love
I thought I would write about things I love. Here are some of the things I love:
My girls giggling and laughing. Ariana coming up to me and telling me she loves me and then asks why do I always put on make-up? Julia's beautiful smile and sweet laugh. Plumeria. Pictures. Cameras. Fuzzy warm bright socks. Music. The ocean. The sound of ocean. The smell of the ocean. The salt air. Sunsets. Sunrises. Bike rides with Ariana and smelling lilacs. Tulips. Summer. Swimming. Lazy days in the pool. Skiing. Bonfires. Lavender. Orchids. Funny movies. Laughing. Friends. Trevor cooking dinner for me. Presents. Mountains. Family dinners. The smell of freshly cut grass. Just cuddling on the couch eating popcorn and drinking red wine with my wonderful husband and adorable little girls.

Tron
Trevor and I took the girls to go see the movie Tron in 3-d. It was a very fun movie and we all loved it. It was nice being together as a family. It has been awhile since we had fun times together. Ariana looked really cute wearing the 3-D glasses and eating her popcorn.
