Christmas Day part 2

Our next stop on Christmas day was at my parents home. We get together with daddy, momma, grams, lil sis and her boy friend. This year we had a fun twist on stockings. Instead of my daddy and momma buying them for us we did a secret stocking exchange. Jeff had my momma and made her a stocking with everything coffee. I had Bill and vent off the wall kookie with his. That was new for us and defiantly something that will now start as a new tradition. After gifts are opened we have our amazing traditional breakfast. 

Egg and sausage casserole with fried apples and cinnamon rolls. Completely unhealthy but every bite is worth the thousands of calories!

After everyone had stuffed their face, my momma and I had the best moment together. We talked about just how truly blessed we are. That our family was all here, and Bill becoming a new member of our family. Love was present in that morning and I am so grateful for that.

Christmas morning started for us at 6:30 in the morning. Jeff gave Caleb a candy cane and you would have thought that was the best gift of all. I defiantly teared up a bunch at how excited Caleb was about EVERYTHING, he would even go to Anna and tell her everything that he was happy about and get her excited.

Caleb's first gift was hilarious. He unwrapped his present and see's a white box, with total excitement on his face goes, oooooh it's cool! That made me laugh so hard, that he had that much light about him for just that white box. Jeff and I looked at each other and new this was going to be a very fun morning.

Best friends in the making with my babies. Caleb went into his new tent from Santa and had to have his sister in it with him. Be still my heart!

I didn't want my morning to end. I am so very thankful for all of our family and that we get to see everyone on Christmas, but it was so sweet with just the four of us. I loved drinking coffee with my handsome hubby and seeing our babies play with all the new toys that they received. So blessed, so very very blessed! 

Christmas Eve

I loved Christmas this year, it was probably one of my most favorite yet. Seeing everything through Caleb's eyes was wonderful. He had such excitement about everything... the tree, jesus, presents, family, and all the yummy sugary treats laying around.

I am going to be posting Christmas in four chapters. So much happened and I love all of the photos to much to leave anything out. 

Our Christmas Eve started off with going to my parents house to see my grandparents and exchange our gifts. Caleb and Anna (ok.. all caleb) loved opening up their gifts. My grandparents sold their farm this year and I know this time of year was not easy on them. Seeing the grandbabies defiantly helped with making that transition better. 

After doing Christmas with my grandparents we go to the place that makes it feel like Christmas to us. The Church that Jeff and I fell in love at, Pasadena Community Church. It is home for us, so many happy faces when we go and memories to look back on. My sister and I use to dance every year and singing with Mr. Fred. I could go on and on about what it feels like stepping back into that church. Sadly I missed a large part of the service because it was the same time that Anna goes down for sleep.

Church ended and we headed home to see the boat parade and watch a movie with Caleb. I love this time... Just our little family spending time together.

Four Month Old

Happy 4 months baby girl! 

(11/11/14)

*You weigh 13 1/2 pounds

*You are now in size 2 diapers 

*You are a rolling machine!

*You don't like the car seat, when you are put in it the screams start and they don't end till you are out of that seat. Driving your brother to school and back is fun... entire hour of you screaming.

*Slept in you crib for the first time, on your 4 month birthday! (yes, your momma cried!)
*Waking up more at night, for along time you where sleeping through the night but lately you are getting up about twice a night.
*You have found your feet and love to hold them.
*Your laugh sounds like a dinosaur and it makes me laugh so hard! It is really the cutest thing to have this sweet little girl make a sound like she is a velociraptor.

*You light up when you see your brother and that just melts my heart.

*You are still in 3 month clothes size.

Three Month Old

Happy 3 month birthday

Anna Grace!

* You weigh 12 pounds

* You are wearing 3 month old clothes, but pajamas have become tricky because you are so thin and tall we have to put you in the ones that don't have the feet. 

* Tummy time is not that much fun anymore. You cry every time and it breaks my heart 

* You are still in Daddy and Momma's room. You are our last baby and I am in zero rush moving you to your room.

* You are so close to rolling, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in a week. 

* You want to sit up all the time. If you hold our hands you instantly pull yourself up to sit. 

* You sleep from 10pm till 6am, wake up to eat about 2 ounces and then quickly pass out till 8am. 

* Still in size 1 diapers. 

* When you sleep, it is now done with a very loose swaddle. You are just like Caleb and Daddy with the way you like to sleep... on your back with both hands above your head. 

* You smile all the time (even when spitting up).

* You are the biggest cuddler. Praise The Lord for the Solly Wrap or I would never get cleaning done.

Welcome Back

Well... I have been on a little hiatis from blogging, but not due to choice. About 3 months ago my computer caught a nasty little virus (thanks to pinterest) and my handsome hubby tried many times to get her fixed but sadly she has now been laid to rest. So after dealing with the loss of my computer, I would try and blog from the iPad or my phone. That would not work at all, they both needed to update for me to be able to post anything. This was a upsetting do to the fact that I couldn't update anything (remember my computer passed away). 

So I waited for a miracle.... and waited. Then on christmas morning my handsome hubby gave me that miracle. I would like to introduce the blogging world to my new best friend, Penelope. I adore her and we have become instant bestie! She was a gift that I was not expecting and beyond thankful for!!! So yes this means that I will be cramming blogposts down your throat so my family and friends will stop asking me for many updates.
