Christmas 2009

After comming home from Christmas Eve dinner the boys had Reinder food to put outside that we had made.

After that it was time to come inside and put out our cookies for Santa and then read "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Christmas morning was a blast! the boys opened their presents and played with all of them!

Vigilia 2009

On Christmas eve we celebrate Vigilia (the polish Christmas eve) with Brian's family. It is a wonderful tradition, I am so glad our children are going to have such a wonderful tradition to carry on for years to come.

Brady's First Christmas Concert

In preschool today Brady had his first concert! his class came into the church and they sang songs and used the rythm sticks and he played a drum he made while they walked into the little drummer boy. He was so excited that the Christmas outfit I got him had a tie with it. He couldn't wait to get to school today! He had pleanty of support from family, Brian and I were there along with Cameron and Brian's parents and sister came also. It took him a few minutes to warm up with such a big audience but he did a great job!!!

Now I know my ABC's

On Monday Brady was playing with his magnadoodle and came running up to me, "mommy I made an H" Well he certainly had! he then also went on to make a B and an I. He has been using a Leapster letter toy that he got for his birthday that has you follow the lights to write the letter and tells you the sounds. Brady is to the point now that he can hear a word and tell you what letter it starts with. He is doing so well! We are really proud of him.

15 weeks!

So I'm 15 weeks into this pregnancy, I did have some nausea until about two weeks ago but am feeling better. Unfortunately i have been getting headaches alot. I just recently started going to the chiropractor and I'm hoping this will help. I have been trying to make it to the gym, but having to go at 4:45 in the morning can be difficult. I have been averaging about 3 days a week, but would like to increase that to 5 days a week. Brady is super excited and gives the baby kisses all the time, Cameron still doesn't quite get it. He will be moving out of his room after Christmas and into Brady's room, I'm hoping that goes well.

We have our big ultrasound on January 7th. We still haven't decided if we will find out the gender of the baby. We may keep everyone guessing until the end!!!

The First Snow

Saturday night before Brady went to bed, Brian showed him that it was snowing out. BIG MISTAKE! Brady woke up at 5AM singing in his room and asking if he could go out and play in the snow. After Cameron got up we had a nice breakfast of home made waffles and sausage (thank you dada) and went outside to play in the snow. Cameron was all excited to go outside, then he realized that snow is wet. Something Cameron doesn't really like right now. So we stayed out for a while but eventually came in, leaving Brady and dada to play in the snow. Once Brady and Dada came in we had hot cocoa which of course both boys loved. we are looking forward to many more fun times in the snow.

New Family Portraits

Every year around this time we get new photos done of the family for Christmas cards. While I wasn't overly fond of the girl who took out pictures she did manage to get one nice shot of each of the boys, and a nice family one. I also took some pictures before we left seeing as we were all dressed up for pictures anyway!
