Christmas 2010

What a crazy Christmas holiday we have had. We were blessed to spend time with family and enjoy each other but we did have little sickies around. John started getting a fever on Tuesday and lasted through Saturday (Christmas day). I think he has an ear infection and I am taking him to the doctor tomorrow (on his birthday). Brandon so far is ok but got a fever last night so we are watching him closely.
Anyways, we spent Christmas Eve over at Brian's parents. We had a blast hanging out and opening gifts. Brandon and John of course opened their first gift and it has stayed their favorite gift ever since. Brandon got a car he can take apart with a drill and put back together. John got a Little People car ramp.
I cut all my hair off last week, what do you think? I am not so sure about it! Back to Christmas... I love Christmas tree decorations!

The "gifts"
Family


This was John all weekend and sad to say still is, always needing mommy when he is not feeling well.




John perked up after getting some meds and decided to play ball with Grandma Sally

Christmas day we went to my parents and ate Turdunken!!!! Brandon was such a great helper opening gifts and John of course found another toy to obsess over.

The big gift.....


They got cars to drive and LOVED them. They ask to go back to ride them all the time. They stay and Grandad and Jojo's

This was John most the afternoon on Christmas

We got home and Santa came to visit.

And.... were back

It has been awhile!
We moved into our new home last weekend and am now getting ready to throw the boys a birthday party tomorrow. Can I say we are STRESSED!
Anyhow, I wanted to show you some picture of the house, excuse the mess :-)

First, don't you just love the boys Christmas shirts
Sorry about John's face.
Only picture I could get of Brandon, he is wearing his shirt too but he would NOT let me get a picture of it.
Packing... well, toddler packing.
all tuckered out and nowhere to sleep in the new house.
Finally looking a little festive. Had to decorate to make it feel like home in the midst of unpacking.

Holiday Season Is Upon Us.

Since we are moving and have no Christmas decorations up I decided to get the boys a small tree. They picked out their favorite color, Brandon's is blue and John's is Red.


What a great picture: FINALLY



Getting ready...

This weekend we are going to be MOVING. We are renting a truck and getting it DONE!!!

I have been trying to take picture of the house as we get a new kitchen, new entertainment center, new paint and some new carpet. It has been long and stressful but we see the light at the end of the tunnel. We WILL be in by the 18th of December. I am so excited to spend the holiday on our new house. First order of business in the new house is potty training.... Oh my!

This is Brian's study with a new coat of paint called steady brown.
