December 2009

The Christmas season was so exciting for all of us this year! It was so fun to watch Ava this Christmas because she was so amazed with everything around her. Driving anywhere in December with Ava was always fun...she couldn't believe the "beautiful wights" on all the houses and then we visited Temple Square and she LOVED it! Her favorite part of Christmas was Santa Clause. That girl couldn't get enough of the plump man! There was no fear in her as she sat and chatted with him and told him everything she wanted. We had a great December!

Decorating Cookies for Santa with friends Parker and Cohen!

Christmas Eve Pajamas!

We could hardly get a smile from her she was so distracted but she did give us the "here it is hurry up and take a picture" smile!

I'm pretty sure she is in love with those barbies!

Something to look forward to...

It's always a bummer when the Christmas season ends but I just realized that we have THREE paydays in January!!! I guess that gives us something to look forward to right!!?? The end.

"Being a part of something special makes you special, right?" -Rachel Berry, 'glee'

Can I just say that I am IN LOVE with 'glee'. And I have never liked a gay character so much in my life...Kurt Hummel you have me rolling on the floor every Wednesday night! I look forward to it every week and now I don't know what to do with myself. Next week is, sadly, the "fall finale"-ugh...What is up with this 'fall finale' crud? Glee club you will be missed this holiday season :(

Anyway, ANYWAY...anyway, more than 'glee' I am head over heels for my two cute kids! What did Christian and I do with our time before we had them??? Let's reminisce....

Midnight snack runs
Movies, WAY too many movies
Laughing at our cat attack a string or hack up a hairball (our kids are so much funnier than any old cat!)
Constantly going to a store just to waste time (we spent every penny we earned back in the day...stupid, stupid, stupid!)
Sleep in until 10am on weekends (because we would stay awake until morning hours
Always bugging someone to entertain us...or feed us ;)

And the list goes on...and I would never want ANY of it back! How boring! Now we have two adorable kids to play with and laugh at. They are a hoot! Why is a 4 month old baby so adorably funny in a bumbo? You tell me...

And why would this little princess make her mommy and daddy giddy like little kids? We were like kids on Christmas morning when it came to taking Ava to Disney on Ice Princess Classics. And her reaction was just as we hoped...

Yup...I think I love 'em and I'm not going to complain about these yucky winter months all cooped up in the house. Why? 'Cause the best memories are made in our home...when we get all stir crazy and start being silly! I seem to take more pictures in the winter...I think it's because of the fun stuff we come up with that are SO picture worthy! So bring it on cold, haze, and stormy days...cause we got some crazy stuff stirring in these sillly brains of ours!

I'll leave with a few more pictures that hopefully bring a smile to your face like they do ours!

Love,

Nichole

Nap time...hmmm she seems SOOOO tired right?I adore this smile and his laugh is even better!Chocolate and Vanilla in the leaves! These two love eachother!Got out the craft box and this is what we came up with! Ava loved to paint but the fun ended when she touched some hot glue. It was fun while it lasted and we'll have these ornaments to remember it!

The latest...

...of my creations is for my SIL, Cydnee. She had her baby, Lyndsee, on November 4th and she is the cutest little thing. I am dying to see her but that sadly won't happen until January 1st:)
These wall hangings match Lyndsee's bedding (Well hopefully they match...I only had pictures to look at). I made them to hang in a line but I think they look cute in a square too!
