Merry Christmas!!

Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward man! Luke 2:14

Christmas Train

All of us on the way into Christmas train! Grant had already heard the train, so getting him to look at the camera was impossible! Come on people, let's go!!!

None of my pictures turned out from the big train, but Grant wanted me to post this picture of him riding the little train!! He loved it!

This is where we enjoyed a delicious hotdog, french fries, water, cookie, and a can of coke. I haven't had a can of coke in forever, man it tasted great!!

I just love hats with ears!!

Waiting for the train!!

Riding the carousel!!

It was a last minute decision to go for my birthday because the weather was so nice that day. I'm so glad we decided to go, we had a great time as a family!!

Wrapping it up!

Aren't these the cutest little boxes? They were for gift cards, I think, but they were just the perfect size for the cute little ornaments Grant made! I just wrapped a little tissue around the ornament and slid it in, perfect fit!!

Only 3 days left!!!

Daddy's on Watch

So I always try to have Grant paint while Morgan takes his nap, but Daddy does things differently......not badly, just differently (that's my mantra!)

I had been assured things were taken care of while I was resting on the bed, but then I heard Morgan saying, "Uh oh, uh oh" and looked up and there he was!! Paint in the hair, on his hands, all over his pants.

Why is my son not wearing a shirt??? Oh, because 5 minutes before this, Morgan had smeared paint all over his shirt. Anyone seeing a pattern??

Well the boys all had fun in the tub!! :) I was just thankful for the rest!

Platypus Howard

So I'm finally getting around to scanning this picture in, took me long enough!

Here is our newest little blessing!!! Baby three is on it's way!!!!

I'm at 13 weeks right now and we head back to the doctor on December 29th to find out what we are having, hopefully not a platypus.....we've been joking that that is what the picture looks like.

Yummy Goodness!!

Here are the awesome ornaments that Grant made! He did such a great job using the cookie cutters for the first time and he painted them with the glitter glue all by himself!!

I just love making gift baskets, I wish I had more call to make them more often.

Aren't ginger bread cookies just delicious?? They are my fave, I don't know why I don't make them more often. I always seem to make them mostly when I'm pregnant because they really help with th nausea!

Some assembly required!

Daddy always has his little helper with everything he does and boy does this boy want this play place put together TODAY!!!

Christmas Goodies

I'm so excited that I finally finished all the resident's gifts for Christmas!! Now all I have left is to put together the gift basket for our program director, make 8 dozen cookies for everyone on Friday at academics, and make sure my husband remembers to TAKE it all to work!!

As always, I had a cute little helper elf helping me!!! He cut the ribbon for me and handed me jars and the little tags to finish them up!!
