Christmas Finally

We had a really good Christmas this year. The boys were spoiled rotten as usually and I wasn't good at taking pictures as usual.
The boys favorite presents were all the train stuff they got. Cael got the Cars' Geo Trax set. It is a lot of fun all the characters from the movie are there. Everett got Mickey's Choo Choo Express train. It is really cute and the best part is that the train tracks are only eight pieces long so it is super easy and fast to put together.
Adam and I were pretty spoiled too. Adam got a Wii and I got a gift certificate for a spa. Yay. I just used it last weekend and it was wonderful. I had never had a facial and it was so great. I wouldn't mind having one once every few months. Haha. Like that it going to happen.
We are just so thankful for our wonderful families who love us so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

These are two of the few pictures I took and they were taken before the action started.














Everett and Daddy. Aren't his penguin slippers so cute?
















Cael playing with his airplane.

Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve all. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday full of love, laughter, and the Spirit of Christ. I am so thankful for the Christmas season to remind us all of the Savior's birth.

On a less enjoyable note. Both my boys have croup and I think that I'm getting it too. Fun for us. No sleep and not feeling good is not how I wanted to spend this week.

Done

I am ready for Christmas finally. Everything is wrapped and ready for the big day. Presents have all been sent to those who live far away. Visiting teaching done. I mean everything is done.

It's a good thing too because Cael's only has one day of school left before Christmas break. I won't be able to get anything done with the two of them home the whole day.

What ever happened to my intention of being ready for Christmas by the end of November? I remember a big sick bug ran through our house and ruined those plans. Oh well. We are ready now.

Let the fun of the Christmas season start.

A Christmas Gift for Myself

So I bought this really cool tin star for a Christmas present to give to Adam's Aunt Sharon, but I liked it so much that I've decided to keep it for myself. Am I on the naughty list now? It's like I'm re-gifting, only I re-gifted to myself.

I only feel a little guilty about it. Should I have given it as a gift or kept it for myself?

Flashback Friday

Cael and Everett when they were really young.
















Everett fourteen hours old.

















Everett two months old. I love that he still looks like the same kid.

















Cael four hours old.

















Cael almost four months old. Still looks like my same Cael.

Christmas Time at Disneyland

We made a quick trip to Disneyland on Saturday. It was so much fun. We got there just in time for the parade. Cael and Everett loved it. I went picture crazy. It was very hard to narrow down the pictures to post, but since it's my blog there are lots of pictures for everyone. Haha.

My favorite new picture of my boys.





























Me and da boys.

Picture Update

Here are some pictures of the boys with a quick update of what has been going on.















Everett when he was sick. He was drooling like a crazy man, had a raw upper lip from getting his nose wiped, but was still smiling.






















Cael was wearing his brothers pj's. I think they were just a little too small.

















After church on Sunday the boys came home and climbed on top of Daddy. Cael fell asleep and Everett just wanted to be included in with the snuggles party.















Everett has started peeing in the potty every once in a while. He did it once on the 1st and three times on the 2nd. He is so proud of himself and loves the m&m's that he gets once he goes.

















He also got his first blooding nose yesterday. He was playing on the couch and face planted into the only non cushion covered part of the couch. He was better in less than five minutes and went about the rest of his day like normal. He is a little trooper too.
