Yesterday was our first Christmas eve since we’ve had the kids that we didn’t go out of town and it was so nice. In fact, last Christmas eve we spent part of the night in the ER when Gabby had an allergic reaction to something. Definite upgrade! Michael took the day off and Papa Dino came in. It was a full day but also a day spent making lots of memories. There was ice skating, cookie decorating, Christmas eve service at church, opening the kids presents from Papa Dino and then playing them (Wii games!), putting out reindeer food and leaving cookies and milk out for Santa. Gabby was so excited she even took something to bed with her then threw it down after we turned out the lights and tried to convince Peter that it was Santa. Love that imagination and excitement!
Papa Dino reading a story Sunday night after he came in. Playing in the scraped ice or “snow.” Wii game. Just Dance Disney edition. Reindeer food we made at Gabby’s school Christmas party. Putting out the reindeer food to guide them in. Santa’s cookies and milk. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.

Perfect! Michael, you are standing on skates!! I'm amazed. But the cookies look like hard work, so good job, guys! Glad you had a Merry Christmas & Happy Pajama Day! Love U all
Just your average story. Girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love and get married. They have a simple, quiet life then girl and boy decide to start a family. It feels like that�s where our story really gets interesting because it�s hard to remember life before kids. My husband, Michael, and I have been married since 2002 and live in NW Arkansas with our two amazing and slightly crazy kids, Gabby and Peter Michael. This blog is all about our daily, weekly, or monthly lives depending on how up to date I keep it. I�m a stay at home mom so of course there�s the average craft, etc along the way. Enjoy!
