Christmas Prep--Part 1 (Caution-- Picture overload!)

Two blog posts in one day.... someone get the thermometer! Haha! My last post was serious and this one is about the exciting and fun things that December has brought to us so far!



Elf on the Shelf

This year we introduced Elf on the Shelf. We kicked off December with the naming of our Elf and watching "Bow" get into some fun things. Now, most nights he does move but a few nights he has taken a little break since it can exhausting trying to locate things that mommy constantly moves around.

 

 
 



Christmas Tree

 Every year we put up the same old crazy looking prelit FAKE Christmas Tree. Well, not this year. We decided to go all out and get a REAL one!

It was so much fun! We went to Tucamoney Farm near Peddler's Village. It was about an hour drive from here and the kids were fantastic (including RANGO!).

Here's the pictures from the trip!

 

 

 



And as a special treat here is a video of the Christmas Tree going up!




Baking

 Connor and I made some delicious sugar cookies the other day... here is the adventure from that!






The best way to clean up I suppose!
Our Hershey Park Adventure will be in the next installment--- the kids are getting antsy!


And a quick update on Emilee---- She is officially on Bi-monthly appointments!! yay!! Her next goal is to sit up unassisted by 6 months of age! My bet, we will need a new goal by 5 months ;-)

It is exhausting trying to roll over!

Our strong little lady!

"This should be interesting..."

After getting both kids to bed (before 8pm mind you!) I have finally had time to sit down and decompress. My morning started out with Emilee stirring in her crib around 4am. I quickly grabbed her and put her in our bed to fall back asleep as she normally does. She started stirring around again at 6am which was my cue to get out of bed and get dressed and ready to leave for her eye appointment. I woke up with that "this should be an interesting day" feeling and low and behold, it was. It was 6:55 when I realized that our wonderful sitter hadn't arrived yet. She is never late, even the one time she thought she was going to be late she was still five minutes early. So when she wasn't here at 7, my mind went crazy. Was she in an accident, had something happened with her family... the list went on with the craziness of Philly news. I sent a text at 7:05 and nothing. I finally switched from worried mom mode to get-in-the-damn-car mode to make the appointment on time. (I...

I am One Month!

Wow how time really flies! Things were so hectic at the end of the pregnancy that I realized I never kept you updated. Birth Story: Well, long story short on 22 July at 10am my water broke. I called L & D and they said to come on in to get monitored and to check the fluid levels etc. Kyle and I thought maybe we weren't really going to be admitted (you know maybe I had had an accident haha). We decided to do the trip to the hospital as a trial run. We got what was left of our bags packed, loaded up the car and stopped at Wendy's for some Chicken Nuggets. (I wanted to make sure I ate something in case I was really in labor and wouldn't get food for a while (Smart thinking on our part!).) So we arrive, they do some awesome monitoring and evaluation and sure enough there was a water leak! They said I would have 24 hours to deliver otherwise they would have to do a c-section. Well for those of you who are reading this and know me, I was scared of getting a c-section (as...

Weeks 23 and 24

Once again things got pretty busy and I did not update for week 23. This is mainly because my sister, brother in-law and nephew came for a visit! It was a great week full of food, Blue Angel Practice Show, Exploreum, putt putt golfing, some shopping and so much more! It was a great opportunity for Kyle and me to be tourists in the town we live in. All in all it was awesome to spend time with the family and show them around. 23 weeks was rather uneventful in terms of Connor. We did have a doctors appointment last Monday and the doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium for the AWFUL acid reflux that I was having. Now I can enjoy food again without the terrible burning sensations. He also told us that the 20 week ultrasound showed a nice healthy baby with "no gross abnormalities". I could finally sigh in relief knowing that the ultrasound came back great. Now to actually see Connor and check for all 10 fingers and toes! Otherwise he is kicking and hitting up a storm. Kyle was...
