December Recap...

Seriously... I'm just getting around to it!

A few of our December highlights...

For FHE we made a gingerbread house.

Tydon made another one at a Craft Group we go to.

Ward Christmas Party

"Santa will you bring me a motorbike?"

Tydon asks for one almost everyday!

One of my favorite memories with Gord was when we went to see the lights when we were dating.

Tydon LOVED the lights this year...

We rode the train from Sandy to downtown-

Tydon was excited to wear his new snow pants

What would the holidays be without... an

UGLY SWEATER PARTY/WHITE ELEPHANT

Thanks Bates' - so fun to see you guys again!

I love the holidays and the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. We were able to go home for 12 days and it was a blast!

We party Christmas Eve at my parents with yummy food, a family gift exchange, new pajamas and a friendly game of 99. This year my dad won.

We didn't end the festivities until 2:30am this year!!

This year I crocheted Ashtyn a hat and some flowers to attach to it.

Justin is the easiest to shop for ;)

How would you have liked to have seen this from Santa on Christmas morning??

Bailey ~ {For my cousin Karli}

I got to snuggle with her on Christmas Eve - my new favorite ;)

We all took our turns...

Henson slept through most of it the festivities Christmas Eve

Tydon helps make Christmas morning exciting for all of us

After a good nap and picking up our mess at G&G's we headed out to Mud Lake to party with the Wood Fam.

Berkli loved her puzzle and Dora book.

Back to IF for a few days...

Monday night for FHE we went to Mt River Ranch with my family

Tydon loved the sleigh ride...

Henson stayed bundled in his seat the whole time... such a good boy!

We ate prime rib and listened to some great music

My dad is {obsessed} with fireworks and had some left over from July so he lit some for Tydon

After a few more days in Mud Lake we headed home...

On the way we stopped for a DELICIOUS pork roast dinner at Great's house.

Thanks family, we had tons of fun and can't wait to see you guys again in February!

Last week's highlights, this week's To Dos

I think we are starting to adjust to having a new addition in the house.

Our neighbors and friends have been so awesome stopping by with gifts and bringing meals to us.
One neighbor brought over dinner and a little outfit for Henson and when I asked Tydon to go get dressed one day he came up with this...
{The pants are to the new outfit for Henson}

Tydon thought they were great football pants

We decorated Halloween cookies for FHE
Itty Bitty Football is officially over.
Tydon loved it! I'm so glad they offer something like this for the kids.
Tydon's Team
The last day they pulled out the parachute...
Do you remember loving this as a kid??

Here's Tydon running the ball :)

Lenny even came the last day to meet the kids...

Henson even dressed up for the last day ;)
Gord is such a great dad. We have been having some great Fall weather so he has been taking advantage of it with Tydon. They usually go out back to play football after dinner.

We are seeing a little bit more of this these days...
Henson is such a good baby. He still sleeps lots during the day so when he is awake we love every minute of it!
Saturday was beautiful!
Some of our favorite friends were here so we hit up Gardner Village...
One of my favorite places this time of year

Thanks for coming to stay Kate and Germ!
We are so excited for you guys to be parents... May will be here before you know it ;)

Gord started the week off with making dinner!! Love it when he cooks ;)
His sauce is so yummy!!

Yesterday Gord stayed home with the Flu :(
He was really paranoid about getting us sick so after he left today I spent the morning washing sheets and sanitizing the house.
Then we had to get out the train...

This is planned for the afternoon...
Any guesses??
And a couple more projects for tomorrow ;)
Yikes that was a marathon...

Hope I'm all caught up :)

A couple more projects completed

I've heard the transition to a new brother or sister can be helped when they come with a gift so I have put together a little back pack for Tydon from Baby Brother.

I made a couple of things to go inside.

Reversible Cape
Click on link for Tutorial I used
I found this fleece as a remnant and thought they would be perfect
for some pajama pants
I'm so excited to see his reaction... he LOVES football and always looks for the cape to play with at the gym.
(Only 2 more days til Itty Bitty Football!!)

I have been LOVING my new diaper bag.
It actually has more pockets than the other one did - guess it was meant to be ;)
It came with a changing pad, bottle insulator, extra bag and wallet
But it just wasn't complete without a matching wipe case...
I still can't believe the weather...
Great time for
New Peas and Potatoes
Click on the link for the recipe on my Sew n Things blog
This is one of Gord's favorites!! So easy and delish :)

This weekend would be the ideal time for a baby...
Another storm coming in
AND
It's a FULL MOON!!

We'll see what the doc says tomorrow...
