Great December
Although it has definitely snuk up on us, we have still managed to enjoy our holiday season to the fullest. Luke had a great Christmas family day at his school. They got their faces painted, ate Christmas cookies, and visited Santa. They even got to make reindeer food, which Luke loved. This year he is very into snowmen. He insisted on getting a snowman on his cheek, and then when the balloon man asked what he wanted him to make he again insisted on a snowman. Now let me first say that all the kids were getting swords, hats, reindeer antlers, all kinds of cool stuff. Luke insisted upon a snowman. So we waited in the super long line to see the balloon man (the kids loved) and our turn finally came. Luke asked for a snowman (despite moms many prods at "are you sure you don't want a sword or something"), nope snowman. The guy says, I don't do snowman, so as any mom (as overprotective as I may be) I said, well you better think of something cause this kid just waited a long time for a snowman!!! Well, finally the other balloon person came up and made it happen (thank you balloon lady) and Luke got his snowman. We had a great time at the party. Ella even wore her super cute My 1st Christmas shirt. I was so excited to put her in it, when her Aunt Chelle gave it to her. My chunky monkey barely fit into the 12month size!!! Glad she got to wear it some, and of course I got pictures! I am so glad Luke enjoys he school, and happy that our whole family is able to take part it his holiday fun.
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. :)
