Craziness continues
After the party, and Granny Kays arrival, the next day my parents came to visit. Luke was so excited!! He loves his Nana and Gramps. They came with a truck full of presents to add to it, so was totally beside himself! Later that night Jay's parents came, and Luke got even more excited, if possible. Our tree looked like a toy store was underneath it. I can't believe how blessed we are!
Christmas eve came next and more craziness ensued. My mom and I were working on getting the dinner on teh table, and talking about my kitchen. A few glasses later.... I started ripping off wallpaper. Needless to say, the next morning I was like, what have we done! I will write more about that later, and I have pictures too! All in all, Christmas eve was wonderful. My mom surprised me with beautiful Christmas dishes and wine glasses. It looked so great in my dining room. With all the family, yummy food, etc. we had a great time. Luke got to pick out the Christmas jammies this year and he chose Iron man and Ella got Tinkerbell, I figured it was ok if they were not decked out in Christmas jammies, just new jammies is fun. Oh and, Luke had a wonderful time sprinkling the reindeer food, and putting out cookies for Santa, it was adorable!
Christmas came next, and crazy continued. Crazy fun. Luke was our little Santa Claus. He was so excited that Santa came. He really got it this year, which made it so much fun!!! He got the big present that he had been begging Santa for for ever, and Ella go a super cute kitchen. It was one of many wonderful Christmas memories to come!
Here goes....
Ok, so I have been viewing all of the blogs of my friends and others and thought they were adorable! I decided I would take a crack at it for myself. I am not so sure how to do this, so I am just going to do it. I really enjoy sharing fun things about my family with others, and I love reading about their adventures too. My family is my number one priority these days, so I just thought I would share some of what goes on with us. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children, and a happy home.
With the beginning of this new year we have Luke at school two days a week, at St. Laurence Catholic church. He loves going, and enjoys playing with his friends there (mommy enjoys the time off too). Luke also has soccer practice once a week and games on Saturday mornings. This is hilarious! Luke loves soccer, just not the games. He is doing great though, and we love going.
Jay is well into his "civilian" job, and loves it. He is really doing wonderful, which is why he works a lot! The traveling is crazy, with places like Dubai, Aberdeen, and Singapore, but it is a heck of a lot better than year long deployments! We are very proud of him, and I am grateful to be allowed to stay at home with the kiddos.
Ella is fabulous! She is getting so big, which I am in denial of because I keep buying her clothes to small (we went to the zoo when she was 8months old and I bought her a 6month size tshirt). I guess I am just not ready to have two big kids. She is crawling all over the place, and loves standing. When she stands up, she is so happy until she realizes she doesn't know how to get down. Check out her new stand up toy! On a side note, you will never catch Ella with out a bow on top. I took her out at St. Patricks day when she was only a few months old, and she was called a boy. I vowed it would never happen again, so she has been a "bowhead" ever since.
Well, I have babbled enough for the first one of these. Let's see how long until I actually do another. :)
