Christmas

Christmas morning we didn't have much under our little make believe tree, this had been in Brooklyn's room and we moved it out into the living room, YES I know bad me I told you I been busy and Christmas snuck up on me. It was still sos perfect though!! I didn't even wrap any of her clothes I figured she didn't really care about this anyways she would just want to open her presents and I was right. She got a lot of Clothes, and PrInCeSs VaNiTy (which I was really disappointed in thought would be much cooler:(, a Stool for her Bathroom, A princess Computer, Puzzles, Games, Flash Cards, A Skateboard (her choice), A REAL BABY and REAL BOTTLE well as close as I could find in the stores (but this was perfect and she didn't know any different) The V-Smile Motion with 3 games, building blocks, jewelery, new socks, underwear, winter wear, and of course the new Bedroom Stuff which was from the previous blog. Nathan and I didn't do much for each other he gave me some money and I got him a new ring since he lost his a week ago... So MaD but we won't go there its Christmas!! We also got our brand new house, a new 52" Flat Screen, PS3, GPS, Bedroom Furniture, Kitchen Table and lots of other odds and ends. I think we made out AWESOME this year even though we had nothing to unwrap!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE HOPE YOUR CHRISTMAS WAS AS GREAT AS OURS AND THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!


Christmas Day after we opened presents I made a a YUMMY sausage casserole, that I remember from my childhood. I always remember my mom making it for us growing up. After breakfast Brooklyn played with her new toys while Nate and I mad a ham, funeral potatoes, fruit salad, pies, and rolls. We made an amazing team, and got it done so fast. Then it was time to get ready and make our rounds. We went to Kathy/Randys, Grandma and Grandpa Domans, and then Grandpa and Grandma Olsons, then we went to see Brooklyn's sweet sweet 97? year old Great Great Great Grandpa Hales. Then headed home for dinner. Although we had ate something everywhere we went how could we still be hungry? Ryan and his Girlfriend Meagan and her kids Ryker, and Rien came over to play, have some drinks, and dinner. We had lots of fun!!
I love our family very much and am so very grateful that we all have each other.

Christmas Cookies

Brooklyn was so fun this year for Christmas, she loved loved LOVED Santa and was so excited that we got to put cookies out for him to eat. Again mommy was not very prepared and didn't get to making those home-ade cookies, Sorry Santa, but that didn't disappoint Boo she was just so excited to leave Santa OREO'S!!! and MILK!!!

Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve we went over to The Olson's (Kathy/Randy) had dinner. Like always Kathy did a wonderful job. Thanks!!! Then everyone opened one present. The "Pajama Fairy" came for the guys and the girls got lotion/body wash. Brooklyn got some crayons and a coloring book. From the cousin gift Cooper got Brooklyn's name this year and she got a princess sleeping bag, and princess Chair she loved them. Thanks Cooper, Jeff, and Liz! Nate and I always do the Pajama Fairy for Christmas Eve as well. We got Boo some Pajama's exactly like the ones we got her last year, because those have been her favorite Jammes all year and she was so mad when I retired them cause I couldn't handle how short they were anymore. Anyways side tracked sorry. She loves her Jammies and we had a lot of fun, eating, playing with cousins and opening presents! Brooklyn wanted to help everyone open their presents. This is the first year we have been at the Olson's since Brooklyn was only 9 months on christmas and it was a lot different cause then it was just her an her 8 yr old cousin Cooper and now we have lots of babies in the family, it is so fun. Also Congrats to Windi and Curtis they are expecting another baby in July!!

Sneak Peak

Still getting all our house together it seem sto be taking FOREVER. It is getting there though. Now I just need some decorating help... Here is Boo's room, don't judge yet though I haven't gotten any pictures up yet or anything. She got her new bedroom set for Christmas, but I had to give it to her early cause I couldn't wait!!

Black Eye:(

Last night Nate and Brooklyn went to JC Penny to get our new kitchen table, Brooklyn was running and ran right into the corner of one of the tables (of course with the pointy edge) Poor thing now has a swollen, scratched colored eye:(

Congrats Josie!!!

My little sister bought her first new car all by herself. I am so proud of you Josie and can't wait to see it!! Love you and miss you!!!

Home Sweet Home

We finally closed on our house YAY!!! After all the stress of selling Nate's and getting everything ready on our new one, everyday life, work, holidays, and sickness. We finally made it. We closed on our House on 12/10/09 and are still in the process of getting it all put together. Brooklyn is loving her new room and her huge toy room, but mostly I think she just loves that we are all living together as a family again. I can't believe Christmas is in 10 days. I am trying to get everythign put away and still be able to decorate. I guess at least Brooklyn is young enough not be upset if I don't get to decorating.

Ginger Bread House!!

Every year I have always gotten Brooklyn a Ginger Bread House to decorate. This year I haven't had much time to decorate it with her. But Thanks to my Bestest Friend Amy, she watched her for me the other day and helped her decorate it. It turned out so so cute and Brooklyn loved it and had so so much fun. While they were doing it the red sprinkles got everywhere and Brooklyn thought it was so funny that they turned her feet pink. Thanks so much Amy!!

Here Comes Santa Clause Here Comes Santa Clause

After our long day of sledding we took Brooklyn down to Christmas Village to see the lights and Santa. It was freezing cold so we didn't really look at a lot fo lights. Nate and Brooklyn listened to the band and watched the horse that danced while Mommy waited in line for Santa Clause. We had hot chocolate and just enjoyed each others company. Brooklyn was so excited to see Santa this year, she didn't get scared of him at all. When Santa asked her what she wanted for christmas she told him a REAL baby and a bottle for her baby. I hope she is not telling us somethign because she has been on this wanting a REAL baby for about 2wks now. After we left Santa Brooklyn told me she loved him and said that she kissed him (she didn't) and that he told her she was going to get a REAL baby for Christmas. I told her we will see. This year she has been so much fun, she loves the lights and is understanding what christmas is all about!!

Sledding

Today we took Brooklyn sledding it was only in our back yard but we have a big hill back there that is just perfect for her. She absolutely loved it!! She kept playing and playing until she finally decided she was cold. We would go in for a while, have "Hot Chocolate Milk" and then she would let us know when she was ready for some more. Nate stood up in the sled and went down like he was snowboarding, but crashed into the pond and fell. Brooklyn was really upset that daddy had gotten hurt and everytime he went to stand up she would tell him to sit down and be careful. She loves her daddy and they had so so much fun, (I just took pictures) can't wait until later this year when Nate can take Brooklyn snowboarding with him she will love it!!


Hot Chocolate Milk is what Boo calls Hot Chocolate
