New Year's Eve

We got some outdoor play time in today, which was awesome! It felt so good just to play out in decent weather! Noah really enjoyed it too! We had a wedding to work last night and we have one tonight, so this is the extent of our celebrating the year's end! :) See you next year!

Christmas Continued...and Pa & Uncle Terry's Birthday!

Aunt Missa had to work on Christmas day so we did another Christmas celebration, along with celebrating Pa and Uncle Terry's birthdays today at our house! Noah got his last Christmas gifts - Thomas clothes, book, and a playhouse! He was excited to build it and to play in the box! ha! Fun evening! Happy Birthday to the birthday boys!

Building a House

I just had to blog this because he was so stinkin excited! His bob the builder trucks made this castle for his cars characters! :)

The Aftermath of TOYS

Noah walked into our room this morning at about 8:30am. He didn't say a word just looked at me. He looked exhausted, I was exhausted and so was Terry. So I just picked him up and threw him in bed with us. He never falls back to sleep, but he definitely did today! It was the best Christmas gift of all - being snuggled in between my 2 boys and Allie in my belly! :) BUT eventually Allie's kicking on my bladder got the best of me and I had to get up. I made breakfast and eventually woke the boys up at 9:30am. Noah wanted so badly to keep sleeping. After breakfast, we took his annual Christmas present picture! He is definitely blessed - he still has a couple of more gifts coming (one pretty big one too!). Allie made out pretty well too and she isn't even here yet! Anyways, after the picture was taken, it was play, clean up and organzing the mess time! Noah took a 4 hour nap that afternoon, which we woke him up from! ha! I think he wouldn't have slept all day - he was just so exhausted!

After dinner, Terry & Noah put the gift together that Noah bought for Daddy for Christmas - an air hockey table! Noah was pumped as usual!!!! It was super fun!

Christmas Night

After leaving MawMaw & PawPaw's house, we headed to MiMi & Pa's. Noah took a 20 min nap in the car that was much needed. He was ready to go again after that! He got lots more wonderful gifts, including a Thomas game you play on the TV that he loves! Thanks to all our wonderful family for a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Afternoon

After our wonderful Christmas morning together, we headed to MawMaw & PawPaw's house! It was definitely a different Christmas since Derek, Khirstin, Braeden, Chad, Fargol & Friyana couldn't make it in this year but we got to Skype with them some! I have such a wonderful family and love being with them. Wish everyone could have been there! Anyways, Noah opened one gift and was pretty much set for the day! He was pumped to get his Mack truck and trailer. He was in desperate need for a nap, so when it was time to head out, he was asleep before we got off MawMaw & PawPaw's road!

Christmas Morning!

Christmas morning was finally here! Noah woke up to a letter from Santa and saw that Santa ate most of the cookies and milk. Noah was insistant that Santa left the Christmas tree cookie for him and he was right - the letter from Santa said that he left it just for Noah! After that he found one present under his tree in his room from Mommy & Daddy! He was excited to find the Bob the Builder characters! Then it was time for ALL the gifts from Santa! He got all the trains he asked for include Molly, Charlie, Flynn and Ferdinand, all of the Cars characters, a basketball goal, some DVDs, playdoh stuff, Woody, Buzz Light Year, Jessie, and much more! He must have been one SUPER good boy! We couldn't help but think about how next year there will be a bunch of pink stuff under the tree to go along with all of Noah's boy gifts! :)

My hubby thinks he is so funny, wrapping my gift with ads! But the gift was wonderful - a necklace with Allie's birthstone.

After lots of playing, we had a little snuggle time with a new DVD. I must have dozed off for a minute. Noah went to bed at exactly midnight last night and I went to bed closer to probably 2 am. We were exhausted but the day was full of family, Christmas fun - so we had to go on!

Christmas Eve Night

We went to church and then to Ma & Pa Nic's house as always! We tried and tried to get a good family picture after church but not much luck. Then we tried again when we got to Ma & Pa Nic's house with a little more luck! ha! Anyways, Noah was very excited that Santa was coming. I told him he would probably just get a couple of gifts from him because he would be bringing lots of presents to the house tomorrow morning. BUT that didn't stop him from asking Santa where the rest of his trains were and digging in his sack for more! :) haha! After we got home, we left cookies and milk out for Santa and then read "The Night Before Christmas". I love making our Christmas traditions! :)

I love this picture - Noah cracks me up with his hands up like us girls!

Wish Mel was in this though!
