Christmas 2012

Amazing Christmas!!! I was spoiled and IV was spoiled. He literally got so much stuff, that we have half his gifts in the basement, which I'll pull out over time...some still wrapped.

We spent the morning at home opening gifts, then quickly showered and were off to my parents house where we spent the day eating, drinking and opening gifts.

Christmas Eve: Explaining why we are leaving out milk, cookies and carrots.

Christmas Morning:

Hi-Five to his new bear. 

The day at my parents house. 

Checking out his new table. 

And today was a snowy day - IV and went outside for a bit, but it was way too cold. So inside it was to play with his new train and other toys that he got for Christmas. 

Happy Thursday, Friends. 

Sneak: Christmas

I can't wait to get the rest of my Christmas 2012 photos upload.

I hope you all had as great of a day as we did.

More to come...

Happenings

I haven't had the time to post lately - but life is busy with Christmas quickly approaching. Here's what we've been up to in iPhone photos:

Friday - holding my little guy extra close after watch the tragedy at Sandy Hook

Reading one of his Christmas cards from Ba and JaJu.

Making a post workout protein shake in the bathroom to not wake my boy during his nap. 

snuggling before Mama headed out for a date. 

Wednesday Dinner date with Hubs. We saw the Lumineers and Dave Matthews

Thursday OOTD: Horrible. But it was just a Target run. 

IV took this bowl of M&Ms off the dinning room hutch and had a mouthful of them when I caught him. This was his face. 

Sporting my new DMB long sleeve. Not bad for $40. Ha.

Mr. Adorable waiting for Dada to get home. 

Chilly Morning

Wednesday morning - there was no way we were going to Target again...and we didn't need to go to the grocery store - so we bundled up and killed an hour running around outside before IV's afternoon nap.

Wordless Wednesday: Clark

What Clark has been up to:

Chocolate Covered Goodness.

A rainy and cold Monday morning called for some Christmas Baking.

And of course, I had the cutest little helper. 

Side note: 

I have to say, I feel like the luckiest Mom in the world. I get to spend my days with my son. The only person in the world who has heard my heart beat from the inside. He's my everything. Really. 

Ok...moving on. 

Our finished product:

Happy Monday, Friends. 

Wordless Wednesday: Boy Mom

A little treat for my sweet boy to enjoy once we wakes from his afternoon nap.

Life Lately

What our life looks like lately:

Clark is still moving around the house for IV to find in the morning - and let me tell you, I have not disappointed. He gets so excited every morning.

Some say it's creepy that this Elf watches you and reports back to Santa - well for now, that's not how we play the game. This is our buddy, Clark...who just hangs out in the house and in the morning...it's super fun to come downstairs and find him.

And yesterday - IV got an email video from Santa. By the way - IV is not a fan of Santa this year. So this video was quickly turned off.

And I'm happy to report that IV still a rock star when it comes to the "potty". He loves to sit..do what he has to do and even read a book. It helps him to relax (kidding. I don't know if it does or not)

And finally - with tomorrow being December 1st - I quickly put together IV's 25 Day of Christmas gifts during nap time. A lot of people have been doing books as gifts. Books are expensive. And...well, my boy has a TON of books, some he even has 3 of. Yes, books are important and a great learning tool. But my 25 Day of Christmas is also fun, educational - but more importantly - holds a special meaning and lesson. 

Carefully hand selected (and washed) from a suitcase in the basement by me. Previously enjoyed by my Husband Stew and his Father Stew Jr. These are all hand-me-down cars that I hope IV will enjoy just as much as his Dad and Papa did. 

That's all, Friends. Happy Friday!
