Christmas 2010

Danny trying to get the Bumble Bee transformer together for Alex

Both kids got bikes, but Alex prefers Cam's


Cam sat there and played with his little learning kitchen the whole time, so i opened his presents.
Danny's just being a dork :-p

Alex helping grandma play the piano while us adults try to sing along to the carols.. Lets just say "12 Days Of Christmas" will never be the same, hahaha!


The tree! It looks like there are alot mre presents than there acutally was... Most of them are stacked ontop of a chair. Thats why they are piled so high.




Danny Singing "O Holy Night". My favorite Christmas song!

Christmas Dinner :)
Cam got to sleep in our bed for a couple hours the morning after Christmas



Alex and Uncle Bob




This year Christmas was really laid back! Christmas Eve we went to the Bradfords for dinner and some "carol singing". Let's just say, it was pretty funny listening to us try to remember all the words to all the songs. When we got home, we put the kids to bed and started on the gift wrapping. We had gotten alot of it done, so we were only up until about 11:30. We go to bed, and are asleep and at about 5:00 a.m., Alex runs into our room. I told him Santa hasn't come yet and he needs to go back to bed. He walks to the door, ran back and says "mom, i'm gonna throw up." . As soon as he says that, he throws up all over the floor! So, we go sit in the hall way while I try to convince him to go back to bed, offered him some saltines. He takes one bite and throws up again. I then gave him some pepto, take him back to our room, put him into bed, a few min later, "mom, i'm gonna throw up.". He climbs onto the floor and throws up all over a towel that was on the floor. He climbes back into bed, (by now its almost 6) and finally falls asleep. We slept until about 7:30 when Cam woke up. We all went into the living room and opened our gifts! I got a new sewing machine! I was so excited! I also got a big Geroge Forman grill, purple android phone (which I love), and some new shoes. Cam got a new bike, little learning kitchen, transformers, cars (from grandma, uncle Bob, Aunt Janis &Uncle Mark) and a shopping cart which he loves to push his monkey around in! Alex got a new bike, transformers, bakughan (how ever you spell that, Uncle Bob) a little nerf "shooter" as he calls it, clothes, Car (Aunt Janis & Uncle Mark) and Danny got the usual socks, underwear, pajama bottoms, boots, coffee maker, coffee, a new farberwear set. Anyhoo, that morning, we went to Nadja and Nathan's for some hootananis :) ate breakfast. Come home Cam and Danny go take a nap while Alex and I stay awake and play with our new toys :) (i spent this time trying to figure out how to use my phone). Later in the evening, my family came over and we had our shrimp boil. Uncle Bob stayed at our house, which the kids loved! They absolutly adore him! At 11:30, I completly crashed! I was pretty exhausted! This year, I've got to say was the best Christmas ever! It was so peacfull!

27 Years!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!

Yesterday was my birthday! I cant believe that I'm already 27 years old! It scares me a little to be so close to 30! I dont think that i've done anything for my birthday since before Alex was born, so it's been 4 years! I usually just stay home and Danny makes me something yummy for dinner, but this year, Danny took me out! I didnt know I'd enjoy it so much! A night without the kidos! First, we went to see Harry Potter, pretty good movie! It was so long, though (even though I knew this going in) and I was so hungry! When we got out I decided I wanted to eat some cajun food. Danny found this little resturaunt on his phone called Lola's, A Louisiana Kitchen. It was a little resturaunt on Charelston. Man was the food good! Even Danny liked it and he's picky about his cajun food! After we ate, Danny took me on a shopping spree to Burlington Coat Factory in Henderson. I've only been there a couple times before, but holy cow! I got some maternity clothes, cute ones, for like $5.00, $6.00, and most expensive, $14.00! I went a little overboard, i have to admit! We got a new bedding set (i'll post pics later..) Alex got some new clothes, Danny some new boots, almost $500.00 later... (I'm serious! we spent sooooo much money!) We went to Walmart to get Alex some transformers for Christmas. When we got there, Danny being a transformers fan him self, we got Alex more than he needed, but Danny was happy! We also got Alex his first bike! I cant wait for him to see it Christmas morning! $100.00 later, we were leaving. Now we have to get Cam a little tricycle because I told Danny that it wasn't fair that Alex get a bike and not Cam. So everytime I think i'm done with the kids' shopping, i'm not... Anyway, I had soooo much fun! I usually hate spending money, especially since it's so tight right now, but, it was a blast! Oh, Danny got me a new baby swing, new pair of pajama's, and the boys got me a new pair of slippers. LOVE IT!!! I got rediculasly spoiled!
