Merry Christmas to myself

Nate has continued to ask me what I want for Christmas. I already got my Christmas present, an early one -exactly six weeks ago. The sweetest baby girl named Brinklee. She is the perfect present and I couldn't ask for anything better. So, thanks Nate for the GREATEST present ever and you don't have to get me anything else for Christmas (except a trip away with you, a shopping spree, granite countertops, new flooring-I'm just kidding!)

Polar Ice

For Maycee's preschool Christmas party her teacher took them to Polar Ice. An idoor ice skating arena here in town. They had so much fun ice skating for the first time. It was quite comical helping two kids on ice while trying to balance on the ice myself. The snow was a hit as well-snowballs and snow angels galore! They are counting down the days till their cousins come so that they can go hit the ice again.

One month already?

I am in LOVE with this sweet baby. I kiss and smell her all day long. Now if I could just figure out how to freeze her. I want her to stay this little forever.

It's beginning to look alot like X-mas

We love Christmas jammies. Thanks to my mom who gives all the grand-kids the same pj's every year. It's become one of our favorite Christmas traditions. Can't believe Christmas is only 17 days away!!

Thanksgiving 2008: I am thankful for...

For the sweetest 2 year old who loves to give his "Baby Binklee" hugs all day!
For our simple Thanksgiving this year-just mom and dad and our family of 4 (I'm still in shock I have that many kids!)
For the most amazing mom who helped me survive my first two weeks as a mother of four kids. I couldn't have done it without her. She truly is WONDER WOMAN
For fun toys to ride on
For a husband who works so hard and never complains when he is given a "list" of projects! And for Easton who loves to be next to his dad helping!
For our little "Turkey Bowl" -thanksgiving morning
For a dad who is so gentle and kind-always looking out for others. Helping Maycee ride her bike
For the gift to multi-task:nursing while doing puzzles
For outings with my family like this to see Madagascar 2 (funniest movie!)
