Christmas Day



Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa’s house was very exciting and busy.  Our morning started at 7:00 a.m. and gifts were being opened before 8:00 a.m.  All three children were lined up and giddily ready to open gifts.  First they opened Santa gifts. 

From Santa, Gabby received:
Fur Real Kitty, a butterfly Barbie coloring book, hermit crab toy cages, and a bunch of games.

The gift Gabby wanted Santa to bring her most

Gabby discovered the most efficient way to check out the loot in her stocking
Then it was time for gifts from Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Emma, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Lee, and Brody.  She got a beautiful blanket that Grandma made her and a doll that pees and spits up, she got a cat, cage, and veterinarian tools from Aunt Sharon and their family, and she got way too many gifts from us this year since we are officially debt free (we decided to celebrate since we don’t usually do much for Christmas).  We gave her games, a Kindle, color bath tablets, princess pajamas, moon sand, books with figurines that go along with them, and the list goes on and on.  I think overall, all of the kids were very excited and had a wonderful gift.  The favorite gift was Emma’s hamster which she decided to name Perry.

After unwrapping all of the gifts, there were hours of opening each package and cleaning up the messes.  The kids played with each toy trying them out (for about 5 minutes with each toy) and trying out each other’s toys.  They had a lot of fun doing puzzles, playing games, and playing with Play Doh.  It was a calm, but very sweet Christmas Day filled with joy and laughter.

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving Day we all with to Grandma and Papa’s house to enjoy a traditional Cajun dinner and it was delicious.  Gigi, Blakeleigh, Brandy, Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Christine, and Keith were all there to celebrate with us.  Gabby enjoyed the day immensely playing with Blakeleigh the entire day and even trying to snuggle with her during her nap time.  Gabby made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Mommy and she blew out the candles Then Brandy and Blakeleigh spent two nights with us.  We had lots of fun going to Mud Pie to make handprint Christmas cookie plates and hanging out at Grandma’s house.  Gabby enjoyed very much singing Happy Birthday to Mommy with the family and blowing out my candle.  The night of my birthday Gabby spend the night with Grandma and Papa and Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Mommy and Daddy went to the movies together for the first time ever.  It was a very fun weekend.   T...

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M...

Pink or Blue Skittle

Okay so as requested by many, I am posting a picture of my belly. A few people told me that they needed to see my belly before guessing the sex of the baby. When Michael took this picture last night we were both convinced my belly grew from the time I woke up. Please comment whether you think it's a boy or a girl or email me and let me know what you think because I would love to make a little scrapbook page of who guessed what. We will let you know October 30th, whether or not you are correct.
