MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Birthday Fun!

We celebrated Eric's birthday on the 16th of this month! It was a lot of fun and I loved every moment I spent with him!  Im so happy and lucky to be married to him!  He really is the best guy I know and I couldn't imagine anyone else out in the world that could make me laugh and feel the way I do around him.  I still feel like that giddy teenage girl that met him 5 years ago and can't believe that we are now adults who continue to grow older and older together!  So for his birthday we had fun opening presents and eating dinner as a family and then Eric and I headed out to the grizzles hockey game (Thanks to Nicole offering to babysit).  

 KJ loved opening up the presents and getting to rip open the wrapping paper but surprising enough she loved to see what was inside as well!  It was extremely cute and made me super excited for Christmas!

We had so much fun at the game and we were on the front row so it was crazy how close we were to the athletes!  It definitely made me jump every time they got slammed into the wall in front of us!  I also loved the fights and we were next to the penalty box so we got to be apart of all that action as well!  

Happy Birthday My Love can't wait for all the ones we get to spend together in the future!

Babble Babble and the Holidays!

Life lately has been going pretty good!  I feel that we seem extra busy as we usually are with end of semester for school coming up and the holidays!  I love this time of year and lately its been a bit more noisy around our house.  KJ has realized lately how much she loves the sound of her own voice.  She babbles and babbles (oh and adds a couple joyful screams in there as well if she thinks your not paying attention) any moment she is awake.  I don't mind it much, I find it kinda cute, but I now know what they mean when they say girls can talk.  I do hope that in later years she might tone it down a bit, for my own sanity.  She also has found out how she can get to ANYWHERE in the house now that she can crawl.  Long gone are the days when I would leave her in the tv room to go to the bathroom in peace, now I often find her peeping around the corner looking at me like where did you go!  (TMI?)  As I sat awake in bed last night not being able to fall asleep I thought about last christmas, and the excitement of knowing that soon we would be able to meet our daughter and how exciting it will be to share the holidays with her.  Now here we are a year later, which went by in a blink, sharing it with KJ! And though I realize that KJ doesn't even realize what it is and only will remember it through the pictures we take, I am thankful that we get to share it with her this year and the many years to come!  

A Little Bit of Fun and Choas

Thanksgiving came and went by before I even knew it was here.  This year I had to work on Thanksgiving which I didn't mind much since I was still be able to eat with the family when I got off!  It was a delicious dinner as always, and fun spending time visiting and being with the family.  I am thankful that I live so close to family so I get to get together with them more often then only for the holidays!  Black Friday has been creeping its way up earlier and earlier each year and this year it  actually started on Thanksgiving night, so off to stand in long lines in the cold we went after the festivities.  Its a bit crazy (I mean its only for a a good deal) but its all worth the fun, right?!  I would have to say that this saying warmed my heart when I read it because of its truthfulness "Black Friday:  Because only in America, people trample others for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have".  Luckily we didn't run into any of that this year!  I hope all you other crazy black friday shoppers got what you wanted and had as much fun as we did! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
