Thomas Christmas Party!

My Mom made pillowcases for the Grandkids and we brought them all into the familyroom. So obviously we had to start a pillow fight. It was crazy and so much fun!


This year Alyssa was not happy to see Santa and Nathan was bored with the whole thing and slept through it all.


I was tickling Jaylee and Alyssa so Alyssa started in on Jaylee and we had a tickle war!


We all made Gingerbread houses at the kitchen table. Can you imagine four families at one table all trying to decorate their houses. Well except for us. I tried with my little girl for a minute but everytime I tried to glue pieces together she pulled them apart and put one in her mouth. And the CANDY! she put everything in her mouth and I spent the rest of the time keeping her from the jaw breakers and hot candies.

Thank you Mom and Dad for a wonderful Christmas Party! You do so much for us all.

Early Christmas

We thought that Alyssa should open her big gift from Nana and Tata while they were here.It took her a while to warm up to it but now she signs horse all the time so she can ride him.

Laugh Attack

Remember the days back in school when one of your classmates started laughing and the rest of the class joined in. You don't even know what started it but you couldn't stop laughing. Well tonight I was trying to tuck Alyssa in bed and we were rocking the the rocking chair. She grabbed my hand and moved it up and down on her side. Yes she is a Thomas. She wanted tickles! I started to tickle her and she started laughing, she is ticklish on her sides. I couldn't help it her laugh was so cute, I started laughing. Well she realized that her laughing was causing me to laugh so she kept it up and we laughed and laughed for at least five minutes. There is nothing in this world like laughing with your children. I thank God every day for my beautiful kids.

Christmas Card Problems

I'm trying to take a cute picture of my little darlings for a Christmas card. Well these are the types of pictures we are getting.

Alyssa usually pushes Nathan away when we try to take pictures.

And quite often she is very serious so she looks upset.

And My all time favorite...

So don't be too judgemental when and if you get a Christmas card from us.

Nursing

I was wondering how long it would take before Alyssa decided that she needed to nurse her baby. This was the first time I saw it. She lifted her shirt and put her baby on her belly, Monkey see monkey do.

I sent the announcements to get printed and then I decided I did not like the picture so I had to take more pictures and got them printed again. There is a little flaw in them but I sent them out anyway, finally.
