Candy Trains

My mom (Namma) does Candy trains every Christmas with the grandkids

B discovered the "train parts" real quick. She ate so much candy she threw up later (maybe because she never gets it)

I love all the fun traditions Namma has with her little ones

Just after I gave up the battle of the sugar

Wish Lizzy, Ry, Trev, and Ali could be with us...missed you

Christmas Princess

We took B on a Princess horse drawn carriage ride

It was so fun and yet another reason why I LOVE having a girl

Definitely something we will be doing next year (maybe not with the boys though)

 

But this one shows who her heart REALLY belongs to (ya, I'm jealous)

(I think this is the most pictures I have had of B and me all year!)

We had another fun night with the Wellman crew checking out Christmas lights

Do to special circumstances (uh...me) we couldn't walk it this year so we took the easy route and drove the loop this year

We let the girls sit with us (and Dada/uncle Tim) and check it out. I am aware this is illegal, but everyone else was doing it (like that helps)

It was so fun (and quite cozy with a heater blowing on us)

 And our favorite of the night!

Fort time

I can't do a whole lot these days with Berkeley off the couch, 

but we did mange to build a fort together

I'm not sure who had more fun (including the dog)

HoHoHo

B was so excited about Santa Clause this year. She had to take him to bed every night. 

We had 2 trips to see the big man

1st trip: serious case of stranger danger (that's a new thing for her)

2nd trip: 

Santa: "Well hello"

B: "Grover Peeze. Grover peeze"

Santa: "you want grove?"

B: "PEEZE"

Happy 2012

If you didn't get our Christmas card (sorry), this is what you missed

I am so excited for another new year. Let's be honest, I'm excited for our newest additions to join us this year!

I look back 2011, and feel so much gratitude

(especially for my little family) but I'm always excited to look forward

Starting the year off right

This was what B did this morning to start 2012 

(Its sure started my year off right)

Oh BoyS

You can see how quickly my body has been overtaken by these little gentlemen

We are so excited and only 9 weeks left!

My belly doesn't fit on the screen (J/K), it's on my camera so coming soon

crazy hat night

Tim planned a crazy hat night with our little crew

It consisted of crazy hats, our favorite little friend, Saints game and chili sandwiches (we thought if we made it a  festive night we could eat bad)

I love our simple life!

We had another Halloween with Wellman crew

Roz taught B how to quickly unwrap the candy before your mom can catch you

B desperately wanted to be a cow this year (but I made sure she still had fashionable shoes and a matching bow). 

And of course we carved pumpkins this year

B loved "gutting" hers and directing us on what she wanted carved on hers

80's Flashback?

Or maybe just a bad case of bed head

 

and she wears it well I must say

Let play...

How pregnant do I look?

I've been neglecting our blog, and thought I'd update a bit of this awesome pregnancy (seriously)

What's your guess...?

24 weeks! (picture was at 23 weeks)

I measured at a singleton pregnancy of 33 weeks today! 

Yes, I know I am carrying 2 babies, but seriously?!

As big as I am, I am having a good pregnancy so far. 

I am starting to have a hard time breathing now and getting light headed from the weight on my artery. 

I have started to sleep sitting up, which could get real old for 12 more weeks.

I haven't been sick since 1st trimester and feel so grateful for how well this pregnancy has gone. 

I have a serious case of nesting right now!

Grateful is how I would sum up this pregnancy
