Christmas Eve

The boys were so excited all day. They kept asking over and over can we open just one present and I had to tell them no over

and over not till dark. We went out looking at the Christmas lights when it got dark, there were lots of very neat ones and I love love seeing all them. I always feel sad that Christmas is coming to an end. I love the before excitement, with the lights, trees and shopping. The actual day is always great but sad that it is all over also for me.

I had a big surprise gift planned for Leonard to have flares put on his truck. He came home early from swings and the truck was gone, so I had to tell him the big present I had been secretly planning. He was very excited and even though plans didn’t work out that night for them to be put on. He still loved loved it! The were put on a few days later and his truck looks amazing!

The boys opened there one gift and were eager to go bed. So much to be excited for the next day was Christmas.

I watched the Santa Claus waiting for them to get deep asleep so Santa Claus could come. Treyton was so cute and got his cookies and milk ready then headed off to bed. It was a great night I wish could have lasted longer.. my kids won’t be little forever.

 

Christmas goodies!

I love.. love… gingerbread everything! I found the cutest little tree ornaments that were a Grinch set that I thought would be darling on a gingerbread house!~ The boys were so excited to make it, especially Treyton!~  After 4 years of having gingerbread decor… I have never made

the actual  little gingerbread men cookies. Crazy I know since the only thing I really like to cook or bake is cookies or cake! The night of the kids official break for Christmas we got home from shopping in Evanston. Treyton and Brendan wanted to make the gingerbread house so I said go for it! Ledger also joined in the making process. He was a stinker  though and made the boys kind of  mad ha ha! He thought it was more fun to put icing on his brothers face, and eat the candy rather than put on the house. Treyton also has been worried and telling me that  Santa is coming in two days and we had no cookies

for him to go with the milk. So I decided I would make my first Gingerbread ones! They turned out darling I think! I got these awesome pampered chef icing decor things that work so good. I will never use the old bag thing again! The cookies were yummy I ate more than my share I couldn’t help it the baby wanted them

ha ha! So here's to a great Christmas night of baking! It was such a fun night with me and my boys! I will remember these day always! Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas…Santa Claus is coming to town………

HO Ho HO

I took all three boys to see the big guy Santa Claus.  Brendan asked a lot of questions this year and so we sat

him down and let him know all about Santa. He took it very well and was glad to be moms helper this year. I had a feeling

Ledger was not going to like Santa he isn’t big on strangers. Especially a guy in a red suit and white beard.  He screamed and held on

to me for dear life. So funny! So I stood in the picture which I must say is a awful one of me! But after weeks of showing Ledger he now

says and points at any Santa Claus and calls him HO HO! Its stinking cute, he still don’t want to go near him though. Maybe next year.

Treyton asked for a Ipod touch and Ledger we told Santa a big toy with wheels!

Christmas BREAK

Yeah the day finally had come! Dec 22 they had half a day at school with there class room party’s and movie. Brendan got to go see Arthur Christmas at the theatre in Lyman what a fun half day of school!! Treyton had lots of fun with Santa coming to the school and filling there stockings they had made! They do small gift exchanges in a circle one for the boys and other the girls. They pass around the gifts till the music stops and that is the one they get. He had a ball! Brendan’s class also did the gift exchange and he got a neat little Lego set!

They were so happy to come home and play in the fresh snow and build a cute Snow man! I can say that the break officially had a great kick off!!

Yeah!

Winter Pictures

I love the Christmas cards with family pictures there the best. So I took the boys over to our favorite place and

got a few shots of them! It was a clear sunny day and perfect! I love them! Getting three kids to look and smile is not easy!

They did it though and we had a darling card! I wanted it kind of Grinch looking I am really happy with how it turned out!

Merry Christmas!

20 Weeks!

I made it half way there!!!  I am so happy and baby is doing great! Since I am back tracking and behind on this post I hit 20 Weeks Pregnant actually on December 14. I am now 22 weeks.

But I am proud of myself! The months and days have been scary, stressful, sick, sick, and yes sick! But I have a great doctor and good medicine that have really

helped me so much!

I am getting really big I always poof out really fast I don’t know why I just do! I feel huge like I am 8 months already.  I get tired really easy my body is getting to old to be pregnant!

We still don’t have this little guy a name but I think I might have found a winner we both can agree on.

That name is “Trever”  its not a fancy original name, or a old boring name that Len is after. But we both like it so far and its really cute!

It goes well with Ledger. I am so excited for my appointment Jan 4. Its the big 4d one I can’t wait to maybe get a glimpse of what he looks like.

I am still doing Progesterone shots and praying they work again and I stay pregnant to at least 36 plus weeks. I got him the cutest pirate crib set with two

little boy pirates on it. Its perfect since Ledger and him are going to share the large back room. It also goes really cute with all Ledgers jungle stuff! We are getting new carpet soon and then the decorating will begin! Can’t wait!

I crave anything Mexican, I now love the restaurant Red Robin YUM! OH and as much mint anything and root beer!

I officially have 15 weeks to go I can’t wait to see my new little boy!

Pajamas!

So as a tradition that started when I was a kid that my mom did we always got new Pajamas for Christmas and usually on

Christmas eve. I have since started that some one with my family and always give them as there gift they get to open that night.

Well this year I changed slightly I couldn’t help it! I was out shopping and found the cutest Grinch t shirts for the boys and flannel bottoms

that I decided it be more fun to wear them the whole month of December rather than the just Christmas eve. So I let them have them! They were

very excited and so cute! Ledgers Grinch set still fit from last year so it was great, but I also got him a stripe jammie set as well that said Santa's helper on them!

I think this is a funner tradition and decided I will do it this way every year! I also got a cute  pink top with presents on it and flannel bottoms, and red plaid ones as well for Leonard! Christmas is just so fun!
