Christmas Recap: Part Three

Christmas morning was really fun this year! Monkey was really excited and he actually understood about Santa so this was the first year that he visited. We let Monkey open his Santa gifts before breakfast and then did the rest afterwards. I think it was great doing it this way because he was entertained while waiting for breakfast but we weren't all starving while we opened presents.

Goose wasn't ready to be awake but I couldn't let him miss out on Christmas morning so I went ahead and woke him up. As you can tell by his poor little "why did you wake me up" face!

Monkey got a remote control car from Santa because that is what he asked for but he also brought him a bag of Chex Mix because he loves eating it with Popa. Can you guess what he was more excited for?

Goose opened his gifts from Santa too. He got 4 little board books to play with or really eat :)

Here's Monkey's with his remote control truck. It came with a trailer that tows a mustang, his favorite car. He played with it all morning!

This is after breakfast gifts. This was Goose's gift from Monkey. He thought they tasted yummy!

Monkey's big gift from us was a 3 foot 3D color yourself project. Of course Mommy forgot to get markers from the store so we have yet to start it but I will post a picture of the finished project when we get it done.

This was Goose's favorite gift. He loves cuddling with the bear from Popa. He was so sleepy he didn't make it through all of presents. Popa got Monkey a bear when he was a baby too. Now they both have their own. A great thing for them to have later on.

Then we headed down to Granny's house (Hubby's grandparent's) and had lots of play time with cousins and then a great dinner. Hubby and the cousins were picking on each other and getting each other in trouble. A true holiday with family. Then we opened presents. The magnetic tiles from Granny I think are his all time favorite gift. He plays with them almost every day.

No he's not sleeping again although he looks like it. He was playing with his new bee that flashes, plays music, and vibrates while watching the cousins build things. He loves laying on the bee when it vibrates. I wonder if it feels good on his little teeth that I think are starting to bug him.

Okay...that's it! Our Christmas recap! Read part one here and part two here or as always just stop by and look at the pictures! That's what it comes down to sometimes when we are all busy mama's. Hope you all have a Christ centered Christmas that made 2012 end well!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon . After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis. I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out. Granny and Great Po...
