Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas Eve from our house to yours!

I got the idea of a Christmas tour from a blog I read/stalk! I took some pictures of some fun things and was waiting to get a picture of our tree..our beautiful, big tree..when I got back from Fl and had Bradley put the star on the tree. In the future I know now that in addition to having someone watch the dogs while we are gone we must also get a "tree water-er"!! It was bone dry when I got home and I quickly filled it up but I am afraid it was a few days to late!! It is still up but beginning to look like a very large Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!! I think once I took out the super boring pictures I only have a few I felt were fun enough to share!

I loved how full the fire place looked! When I unpacked the stocking I cracked myself up! I bought Charlie a stocking last year and wanted to have all matching ones for the kids..so I bought extra. I unpacked FOUR..Bradley came in as I was laughing and when I told me he smirked and I said "like we can afford 4 kids..afford buying 4 that is"! Well, they are bought so I guess I must fill them!!

I only put this in cause you can see that I have moved almost ALL my decorations up high..out of reach. Above my kitchen cabinets are where most are located..way out of his reach!

Christmas cards were down this year..either the economy or I have bad people skills..but I thought this was a fun spot to put them!

I love this and wished I could find a reason to keep it up year round..it's crooked in the picture, but not on my wall..just had to clarify in case you were judging me.

And a favorite..that does not seem to bother my husband like it did my dad when I was growing up....Decorated Deer Heads!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Tree Farm!

Since we have only been a family of three for 16 months now we are still finding our own tradition's and trying out new ones to see if they are fun enough to become a family tradition. We went to see Rudolph at Casa Manana on Sat and Bradley decided that could be a tradition that I do with my girlfriends next year:) Casa not a hit, but the Christmas tree farm was! We are headed the the Omni to see Polar Express tonight so well see how that one goes! Charlie's look cracks me up!

He avoids the camera at all cost!!

This was the last picture and he was over it!!

We looked over and he was sucking/chewing on the fake lollipop..that's good parenting!!

Look how big and pretty this tree was.....Check out the price below..

Yes, you read correctly..that is $524.95 for a Christmas Tree..seriously!!!

Merry-go-round was a huge hit...that turned into a huge tantrum when we got off and he was told we were not getting back on!

Bradley cracked me up trying to get a picture of us..never could quite get the timing right as we flew past him!!

He ran around this going "choo-choo" in his super high pitched voice!

Playing "jail" was a big hit!

Right before we left Bradley got the idea to take the pictures below and I think they turned out great..the family one could have been darker, but oh well!!



Only 1 day left..not counting today and the actual day!!

In addition to holiday PJ's..

I also have a thing for hats.... He usually does not minds them at all, but this one and the white one like it are a bit big..and that makes him pull at it more!


"Finally, it's off!!!!"

My favorite hat all time is to the right side of my blog..he wore it last winter and I LOVE it still!!

Jingle Bells!

Charlie pulled the dogs holiday collar off and decided to dance around in it..really only the first 5-7 seconds are funny..and they may only be funny to me!!

More Fl pics

It always cracks me up to look back through my pictures after I have snapped a ton in attempt for one picture! I think this was the best one on my camera..but the others still make me smile!

Christmas card rejects

We went and got Christmas card pictures taken professionally and while we got some good ones I decided I am more of a "casual Christmas card" kinda person. The one we ended up sending out was one I snapped of him in his PJ's one night!

Love this pic..may be my most favorite in a long time!

This one was cute, but it was just to....posed.Love, Love, Love Charlie in this pic, but since I looked larger then Bradley there was no way it was going in the mail..kinda surprised I put it on here. Just to clarify, when Bradley went to the Dr last week for his shingles I watched him get on the scale..he has a good 20 lbs on me..despite what the picture looks like!!

I really love my..

Holiday PJ's!!

..or my mommy really loves them..whatever~

(If mommy says no, ask Santa)

I was trying to get a picture and he was trying to go to sleep!

He was running from me the whole time the camera was out..this was the best I got!

He would open the door and see the camera and then shut the door..nice!!

My favorite PJ's made the Christmas card..so I will post them later!

title???

I hate coming up with a title..

Below is about a month worth of our time and effort all piled into a 2.5 lb stack! We mailed our stuff to Christian Homes last week and I am super glad to have it done. Between that and work and getting ready to head out of town I have slacked on posting..sorry!

We flew out to FL on Wed and it was...a memorable flight to say the least!!

The lady checking us in gave these to him..he moved it to head head..and then almost poked an eye out so I took custody! The second flight was better and he has had SOOO much fun playing with Sage, Noah and "Baby" since we got here!
He loves Kirkley, but he has not got down being gentle just yet..

Notice my hands blocking his hands..luckily Kirkley has gotten out unharmed!

Love her big bow!

I said it this pic looked like they were in time out and Amber said it looked like they were peeing on the wall!

He was excited to hold her at first ..but then the TV caught his eye!

He is loving have Noah to play with all the time!

And Sage has been super sweet to him..letting him bounce on her tummy..his favorite game!!

He loves to push ANYTHING and anyone!!
