Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.






Santa just came to our house! Natalie's gifts are in red and Bryce's are in Green. It looks like she's getting more, but Bryce's gifts are all tiny. The cradle was made for me by my Grandpa about 20 years ago. I am passing it on to Natalie with new homemade baby bedding.

Blah

I don't know what's up with me. I haven't been my usual cheerful self lately. I love love this time of the year, but I can't seem to enjoy it as much right now. I seem to get cranky super fast and and I am so weepy.

I did have loads of fun at our 2nd annual Christmas cookie exchange last night. It definitely put me in a much better mood. The cookies I made were fantastic!

I got them from Parenting Magazine. Here's a link. They are worth the trouble.

I also made these. They are good, but not as good as the others.

I've been around..

I just don't have much to say.

We went to see Sugar Plum Fairy at the Children's Theater on Sunday. So very cute! The kids loved it and Nate and I loved and it was cheap to see. I am thinking about getting a season pass so we can go to all the plays.

Bryce learned how to ride his bike this weekend as well! He was so happy. My parents are going to surprise him with a new bike for Christmas since his old one was way too small for him.

Oh and we did go see Christmas lights. Natalie loved them. They were most definitely AWESOME!

Awesome!

That's Natalie's new word. Everything is awesome. It's so cute. We drove through our neighborhood tonight looking at the Christmas lights and every single lit house was "Awesome!"

I can't wait to take her to see Christmas lights at the park. It's really going to be awesome.
