Morgan's 3rd Christmas

I am so excited for this Christmas with Morgan, she understands the concept of Santa and is getting really excited for him to come and visit. About a month ago we made a Santa countdown chain and every morning she gets to tear one ring off and then we count how many days till Santa comes. This is the first thing she asks for now in the morning to be able to tear her ring off. I am thinking of making one for her birthday since that is 1 month away.

We have presents under the tree and she has been really good about not touching them, she did pick out some presents for Cameryn and Jaidyn and has helped me wrap them. She is really into the ornaments and pointing out the ones we have for everyone, (the dogs and cat also have an ornament). She even picked out one for daddy this year, his is a BBQ Grill that says GrillMaster on it!!

Needless to say it is also the hardest for me to get the presents in the house, hidden and wrapped w/o her seeing. I got some wrapped during a nap once but I was paranoid she was going to come down the whole time, now I am going to finish tonight after she goes to bed.

We are also going to be making cookies tomorrow for Santa to eat as I told her that he needs cookies in order to be able to deliver presents to all the kids. I can't wait till next year, it will be even more exciting for her and then the babies will be able to open some presents as well!.



Here is Morgan on her first Christmas!


Here she is on her 2nd Christmas

I will post after this Christmas the next set of pictures...Have a great Christmas everyone!!!

I am going to even attempt to make a Lemon Meringue Pie for Tyson as it is his favorite, It seems like a lot of work, but I won't know if I can do it unless I try!

Jaidyn has found her voice!

Jaidyn has always been the talker out of the two babies, but over the last few days she has really started to become vocal, and she is LOUD! Who knew such a small thing could be so loud, we are going to be in trouble when she gets older if she keeps up this level of volume. Here is a brief video of her talking to me!

DONT JUDGE!

So I was upset when I posted the previous blog, and I think I have every right to be but I feel like I should say it a bit differently.

What we choose to do with our money is our business, not yours.....if your that concerned your welcome to ask and MAYBE I will have a conversation with you about it, however it is not your business which is why I think you choose to talk about behind our backs. We are great, hardworking parents and do deserve time out...it is what makes a marriage work. We don't appreciate you assuming our situation and we don't appreciate you talking behind our backs about it. Please stop causing drama where it is not needed, we have enough going on in our lives right now and are not going to start playing this game with you. Either you can be in our lives as an understanding, non judgemental person or not, it is your choice but I think you know what choice you have already made...

That is all I have to say and I am open to discuss this further with you if you would like, you know my number to call me.
