We had a WONDERFUL Christmas!! Usually I don't let the holidays get to me, I LOVE THEM, but I do have to send out an apology to everyone I may of been a little short with this Nov/Dec, I was tired, not of Christmas or the holidays, but of being a single mom (Allen is gone wrestling all winter) and having so many EVENTS that needed my attention. SOOOO Sorry, I will do better next year and if I don't at least ya'll are prepared;). I also propose we change Christmas to January 26th, Why? you might ask? Because I love Christmas, but let's be honest it is A LOT of work for 3 weeks and then your done. You have Thanksgiving and then it's like a race to get everything fun and cute and joyful done (plus of course the buying) and then it's over. I want to listen to Christmas music for two months, I want to enjoy my house decorated all festive for two months (it is a lot of work for three weeks, right Kristen?) EVEN if I didn't decorate my house this year but let my little sister do it. After all, Jesus wasn't really born on Dec 25th, I'm just saying...
.. Alright I'll step off of my cardboard box, the one that my kids enjoyed more than the toys that came in it and post some absolute adorable photo's of my cute kids as we enjoyed our holidays.
This is my favorite picture, "Mom, really? The hat?"
This outfit was impossible to find. I REALLY wanted to buy him a Santa or first Christmas outfit, but everywhere I looked they only had the outfits up to 9 months, like a 10, 11 or 12 month couldn't be having his first Christmas. I finally gave up looking when in Smiths (not the marketplace, the grocery store) tucked behind a box in the baby aisle was this outfit. So here he is, he couldn't keep his legs in the outfit because it was only 12 months, but hey he got a first Christmas outfit.
and you can't go wrong with stuff on the butt when they are crawlers:)
Showin' off the Loot, I really love Christmas especially with how excited the boys get!
We again decorated our tree with only two weeks left, IF ANYONE knows of someone selling a good looking fake tree let us know. Buying real is hard because Allen isn't around a lot and I'm not going to lug one in sooo we always decorate way to late, but the boys love doing it and had a lot of fun. I told Allen I would re adjust all the ornaments the next day, but I never really got around to it.
AND a Big Thank you to our awesome neighbor who handcrafts rocking horses and gave us one for the boys for Christmas. How cool is that!!I hope you all had just as merry of a christmas as we did and looking forward to next year!!
