Day 3

Please remember Day 4 was void since I was in the hospital.

On Day 3 I was in a lot of pain so we did a quick and easy craft. The boys decorated Christmas trees that I cut out. They had a blast with the stickers and I am still finding glitter in their hair. We also watched Polar Express that night so I suppose it counts :)

Day 5

So I'm being polish and doing Day 5 first :) Tonight we went out to eat with Papa and drove around looking at Christmas lights for a good hour. I don't know who enjoyed it more, the boys or Papa :) When we got home we made our Santa's and at this moment the boys are watching Mickey's Christmas special! It was a perfect Saturday evening :)

ps. Please don't mind how crappy I look, please remember I passed 2 kidney stones today...:)

Grrrr

Well My 3rd day of Christmas project will be up later tonight when I upload pics but my 4th day is well...no exisitant. Although I do have a good reason, I was in the hospital with kidney stones...AGAIN! So we'll do a re-do and I'll upload all the pictures tonight after the boys go to bed.

Day 2

Yesterday we made our footprint/ hand print reindeer. I was going to use paint but Logan would have freaked out! And surprisingly he let me trace his hands and his feet for the first time without a fuss so this craft was fun for all of us!

I also gave them their Christmas Jammies. Of course they were matching and the boys loved that Santa was on them!

25 days of Christmas

We decided to start a new family tradition this year. We are going to do some kind of Christmas activity or craft every day until Christmas. Along with that, we will be reading a different Christmas story before bedtime every night.

Last night we made our foam Gingerbread house. Logan didn't get into it at first, but slowly caught on. Jacob loved it. He loves all things Christmas. Every morning he goes to the window and asks if it snowed yet. Luckily for him, we should have flurries tomorrow ;)

I'm going to try and post everyday, but we'll see how that goes.

It's a......

Well we decided to find out what we are having afterall. Brad and I rescheduled our ultrasound for this week and decided not to tell anyone. It was extremely hard not telling my mom because I wanted to scream "We're gonna know soon!!!!"

We went into the office and the tech was focusing on the babies face most of the time because that's what my midwife ordered. He/She has the cutest little face and little nose. He/She likes to suck their thumb already and is curled up nicely in mommy's belly.

Finally it was time to look between the legs. I was so nervous! I knew I would have been happy with whatever we saw, but I was still so nervous! At first she could get the baby to open it's legs.
And then....there it was.....clear as day.....

The newest member of our house.....will be a little princess named Emmerson <3

We are over the moon excited!! Brad is still in shock! Jacob can't stop talking about his baby sister named Emmerson that we can call Emme, too!

Boo at the Zoo

Today was Boo at the Zoo. We headed over right after preschool and to Jake's surprise he saw his teacher there. He was so excited!!

The boys did better than I expected this year, although Logan would keep his feet or his hat on, but at least the costume wasn't a big deal to him :)

Enjoy!
