Christmas 2013

This Christmas was perfect.  Not only did we have a wonderful Christmas day at home with our little family, but we also got to head up to Canada the day after and celebrate with my parents and sisters and their families.  I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family!!

We went ice skating (per tradition) on Christmas Eve.  I opted not to skate (due to baby) and Kya fell and hurt her knee pretty badly.  Not our best skating experience, but I still think everyone would say they had fun...and I got a lot of my book read:)


I think the girls were the only ones that had Christmas Eve hot cocoa this year!


Mike opened his present from the Lambs and was very excited to get a puzzle to work on!!  I think it was finished by Christmas night:)


And, of course, the traditional present pictures.  Every year, I forget to add one or two presents to their pictures!!  This year one of Kya's biggest gifts got left out (her ihome).
 



Christmas Day was spent playing with toys...


 ...and of course eating turkey (even though we were going to have turkey at Mom's the day after Christmas, my kids INSISTED I make one on Christmas day too!!)


The entire visit to Canada, the only one who I got a picture of was Peeta:)  He sure is sweet sitting under Mom and Dad's Christmas tree!!


Baby Girl

Years ago I had a dream.  I had a dream that I had another baby girl.  Well, it shouldn't have come as a surprise when I found out this little baby inside me is a girl.  Yet, somehow, I was still surprised...and of course thrilled!!

The day I found out was a busy one.  I got the news while the kids were all at school and Mike was at work.  We had ballet and YW/Cubs/Activity Day that evening and Mike couldn't make it home before we had to leave, so I had to wait until 9pm to share the news!!  I did have time to make a quick trip to the grocery store to get some cookies with pink frosting and a pint stuffy.  Everyone was very excited:)

(Jordan and Kya guessed it was a girl, while Tyson, Mommy, and Daddy thought it was a boy)
