So remembered how I said I was a horrible mom this Christmas in not capturing all the classic Christmas moments?

Well Guess what!  

I found my dad's long lost camera on which I also found some Christmas Morning Pictures.
Although they may not be as cute as so many of my friends, and I still missed a few shots that I'd love to try and capture next year, but I'm just happy I have at least SOMETHING to document our own little Christmas.

Here the kids are Christmas morning, in their Christmas PJs super excited to come out and see what Santa brought.
Santa was VERY good to us this year, but before you think we went too crazy, we got everything in this first picture for free with the exception of the Helmet and the little princesses in the doll house.

This was their first view.

And then Just to the side of that here was the other view.


The Rapunzel and Maximus dolls were not originally part of Christmas.  I was going to save it for her birthday.  But I found this idea online that had the kid leave their binkies (pacifiers) out for Santa and he would leave and extra special present in return.  We were slightly desperate and decided to give it a shot.  Well, it worked!  We are binky free as of Christmas Day!


I only had three gifts for the kids to actually open from me and Jeff.  Basically a few clothes and books.  Santa did such a great job we didn't need to do much or really anything but it was the principle of the thing.  :)


P was Super excited about his new Spider-man Sweatshirt.


The after math.  I really should have posted the video, it seriously was priceless.  I loved that the kids were so excited about each other's gifts.  "Look Parker!!"  or "WOW EM!  Look at this!"  It was such a fun morning.  
Here is one last shot of Em trying on her new princess high heals.  I got them from a friends garage sale and she LOVES them!  She was always wearing mine anyway, so she loves that she has her own now.

Anyway, Yay for not being as big of a slacker as I thought!  :)

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
