A Beautiful Sight, We're Happy Tonight; Walking in a Winter Wonderland

The first day of Christmas break was the perfect day for sledding!  Jackson got invited to go with some friends, but Wyatt and Anna really wanted to go as well.  I decided to put my "fun Mom hat" on and take them and Collin and Chase.  I really did go a little reluctantly, but ended up having a ton of fun!  I'm so thankful that I get to make these memories with my kids. 



Anna was really into sledding on her belly which made me laugh.  She was loving it!


 



I love these two buddies! 
 




Such a fun afternoon.

In the mail was our fun package from my parents.  I texted this picture to my Mom to let her know that her presents were wrapped the prettiest by far!  Every year, I have intentions of making the presents I wrap pretty with fancy bows, but it just doesn't happen.  This year I let Jackson wrap all of the cousin gifts which of course was nice for me!

Sarah and Sam left their good bye note and one last treat the kids.  In a weird way, I already miss those two! ;)

We met Erik at lunch at In N Out on Christmas Eve after we picked up our obligatory box of Sees!

 
And once we got back it was time to deliver the rest of our neighbor gifts!  Once we were on our street, Erik let the boys have a ride on the OUTSIDE of the car!  They are lucky they have their Dad I guess, because if it were up to me they would not be doing that haha

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
