Christmas with the in-laws

We got together with Mike's side of the family today and did our belated Christmas with them. It was fun and the kids got some cool presents. They even tolerated the long ride there and back. Now they are all tucked in their beds with Vicks vapor rub on their feet. Poor babies sounded congested when we were getting them out of the car tonight. Well I can hear Allen fussing now and I'm ready to get in my pjs and watch a movie. Good night!

Christmas and Colds

The kids had an amazing Christmas! They got lots of clothes and toys. They were so happy. We had tons of smiles. They haven't even done Christmas with nanna and papa and great nanna and papa yet. 

Yesterday they both came down with colds so there has been a bit of fussing. Hopefully they will be feeling better by tomorrow when we get together with daddy's side of the family to do Christmas with them. 

Trim time!

So I gave Allen a little trim last night and now his hair isn't brushing on his neck and bugging him anymore. 

Amelia got a snowman ornament from the dance studio for Christmas. 

This morning they are watching cartoons and eating yogurt. Allen usually gets about half way and gives up on the spoon. No kicking yet from the baby this morning but that's pretty normal. I woke up tired this morning so hopefully I'll buck up in a bit and get the energy to get some cleaning done. 

'Who needs a spoon?!'

Hmm..

So I don't blog daily because I am not sure the day to day workings of my family would be exciting enough. I would like to start at least a couple times a week even if some of my posts are a little dull. 

So yesterday was our ob check up. I am 23wks along today. We had our gestational diabetes check and got the call today that we passed with flying colors! Yay! Also baby is doing great and heart rate was in the 160s. 

Saturday was Amelia's first dance recital. She did so well and looked beautiful! Her group danced to 'I want a hippopatomous for Christmas'. I won't lie prior to her parent day at dance I had never heard the song. 

Saturday we also went to the Vfw Christmas party. We seen Santa and mrs.  Claus. We enjoyed a fun sleigh ride and had delicious hot dogs and fries. Allen and Amelia each got a toy and bag of candy from Santa. 

We have been busy the last couple weeks running from one headstart thing to another. The kids have been loving all the fun activities. There was a party at the elementary that included: a visit from Santa, crafts, open gym, cookie decorating and pizza. It was one of the most fun parties I had ever been to! The kids had a blast running around the gym and exploring all the activities at the school. 

Christmas is in about a week here and we are all getting excited. We still have to wrap presents. Amelia is cutting those links off her Christmas chain and counting down the days.
