Christmas

Hard at work Christmas morning ; )

Christmas Eve was low key but nice this year. We made a fire outside and drank hot chocolate while Trav told us about the Christmas story and the real meaning and importance behind Christmas. Then we went in and left cookies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer. We missed family but it was also nice to have it with just our little family.

Our neighbors have an annual Christmas party with a real Santa and everything. We had a great time. Kinsey's gift from Santa. Nothing but her favorite, chap stick!! If I need to score points, chap stick will do the trick every time. She loves it and can never have enough.

Santa brought gifts for each of the kids, it was really fun. This guy and his "elf" were so real looking it was almost scary.

Connor was a little afraid of Santa so Trav went with him. Funny sight to see hubby on Santa's lap.

Kinsey was mesmerized by Santa, she was so excited!!

One of the guys that came to the Christmas party owns a firetruck so we got to explore : ). The kids loved it!!

He's Here!!

I don't have time to post a picture but wanted to write the stat's...

Sassy

I just remembered I didn't want to forget this story:

While Travis was out of town I took my kids to Hobby Lobby to get some things for a project I was working on. Kinsey was being pretty sassy walking into the store so I told her she better quit acting so sassy. We make through the store, barely, and in the line at the check out counter Connor is slapping my face and yelling about something. So, I grab his little hands and tell him to knock it off. Without hesitation, he looks at me with this little pouty face he makes and says in his cute little baby voice, "I sassy!" It was pretty cute, I couldn't help but laugh.

Now I'm going to have a little bit of a proud mommy moment... Connor speaks so well. His language acquisition is just incredible. He talks like a three year old and he's not even two. Yesterday he gagged on something and looks at me and says, "I'm choking, I'm choking!" I just looked at him like what did you just say?? He seriously says everything from "I'm sad" or "Kinsey, share and give me that" to well, just about anything. It's really cute when he says, "Don't want to, mom!" or "AWESOME!" I think his favorite thing is to say, "I tooted!" We were sitting in church last week, and during the prayer he shouts, "Nick! Nick, tooted! I tooted!" How embarrassing, but it was pretty funny. My favorite, though, is when he says, "I luf you, mom." or "Did you sleep good?" It's cute and just melts my heart. Also, he is so polite. He is constantly saying, "thank you mama." How can I refuse him anything when I know I'm going to get that at the end and always a "please" at the beginning? Okay, sorry for the brag fest but I just had to share : ).
