December 2009... Christmas and Other Celebrations

December


We started off the month of December with haircuts for the kids.....

Greg and Emy waited patiently for her turn....
Casen was first and eager to sit in the car and play with all the toys the stylist gave him to keep him entertained and distracted.... He did great and looked so cute! But I must admit.... I love his long boy hair and will miss it!

Then it was Emy's turn.... we weren't sure how she would react to it all.... but she did great! She loves the attention!

Christmas Eve this year we celebrated at home since I am now 8 months pregnant and feeling pretty tired. We enjoyed a family dinner and played in the playroom.... reading Christmas stories and snuggling in our Christmas pj's.... Below is a picture of our childproof Christmas tree on Christmas Eve..... right after Santa came to set everything up for all the good little boys and girl. I never thought I would have a "no touch" tree with a an electric fence around it!

Christmas morning was exciting! The kids came out of their rooms to all their new toys.... Casen didn't know what to do.... he ran from toy to toy.... it was hard to get him to sit still for any photos.....Love the bed head....
my little boy!.....Emy loved her Elmo Live....and carried him around from toy to toy... Santa was so good to the little twins....

Emery got a pink Cozy Coup..... but loved her brother's red one....future advice to self.... get two of whatever.... but make sure it is EXACTLY the same....

Greg's parents came to visit for a few days and while they were here they took the kids on the Christmas Train at Lakes Park.....I was not allowed to ride the train.... since I am pregnant but enjoyed a quiet 20 minutes to myself watching the Florida sun set.... I love living here....



Greg and I celebrated many things at the beginning of January.....
We celebrated his birthday on the 7th.... Our 5th anniversary on the 8th.... He passed his board certification exam.... (very big deal).....
and.... we are about to complete our family on the 26th....

To celebrate all these things.... I planned a fun... comedy filled night.... we rented a limo with friends... enjoyed a great dinner....played games.... yes games.... that resulted in wearing funny costumes if you lost..... laughed..... ate cake.... and went to a comedy show......It was the latest I have stayed up in a long....long.... time.... We had a blast.....

Well it is almost here.... the birth of our 3rd child.... We are scheduled for a c-section on the 26th of January.... only 10 days away..... I may make it.... I may not.... (I've been having contractions) Regardless of the day he arrives.... we feel very blessed and full of love.... We have beautiful wonderful children who are so special to us in so many ways.... We are excited to give them a younger brother and can't wait to get to know our new love and all the things that make him special..... We are so appreciative for the things in our lives, our health.... our parents.... our family.... our beautiful home in Florida.....
