Getting ready for Christmas!

Today was Owen's little Christmas Concert at school. OMG it was the cutest thing ever!! When Owen walked in I couldn't believe that hat LOL - he was a King :) He looked so cute up there singing his songs, watching him made me cry - I am such a sappy mom haha.


















After the concert we went out and did some Christmas shopping. I found the last thing I wanted to get for Owen, found most of the dollhouse accessories I needed for Emi, I'm still in search of the damn mom & dad's bedroom tho lol. Got my nephew done, got my SIL and her husband done, got my MIL a GC to go with the frame we are giving her, I just have to get the 8 pics printed for that tomorrow. I also have to get my little brother his GC tomorrow, something for my grandmom, and stocking stuff and then I'll be done with the shopping part at least. I also need to get the ready to make cookies to make with the kids on Christmas Eve (yes I'm totally cheating with the baking).
Tonight I am finishing up my wrapping - the only thing I'll have to wrap tomorrow is whatever I pick up for my grandmom. I'm sooo glad I won't be up on Christmas Eve wrapping :)

Today is my birthday... I'm 27. A year ago today my FIL had the heart attack that ended up taking his life last Christmas Eve :( So its been a rough day. Brian and the kids got me cards - Owen picked me out a Spiderman card and on the front it says "You're 6!" LOL. Emily picked me a Precious Moments card all by herself.. and Bri got me a nice card :) So that was nice. No cake but thats okay we're kind of burnt out on cake around here at this point anyway lol.

I just cannot wait until tomorrow night to do all of the special exciting Christmas Eve things with the kids :) I love the traditions, I love seeing how excited they are. I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas morning! They are soooo excited and into it this year! It's awesome being Santa :)

Snow pics!!

We woke up this morning to a couple inches of snow and it has been falling steady and fast all day long - we're due for anywhere from 15-20 by the time this storm is over with from what I've heard. Yikes!! The kids were sooo excited to go out and play this morning, we were out there at about 10am and it was hard holding them off until then lol. They only lasted about a half hour and they were cold and wanted to come in. I threw all of their snow gear in the dryer and we went back out for round 2 around 1 this afternoon. That time they lasted about 45 minutes lol, it was colder by then and the snow was coming down so fast.
After that time we came in, put Rudolph on tv, and we all ended up falling asleep for about an hour on the couches in the living room :) That was nice haha.

The snow is still coming down... I can't wait to see what it looks like out there in the morning. And the kids can't wait to go back out and play...ugh lol.

Anyway - here are a bunch of pics from today :)























































here's a shot of our tree and the front window from today too
