Picasa might just be the coolest photo program ever! I just loaded this pic onto it and noticed on the bottom of picasa it says "blog this" and it connects right to my blogger account! I loved that it did that with gmail for sending pics but this makes things even easier picture wise! So if you need a program to organise your pictures nice its amazing and i recomend it to all! Oh and this is G in her Christmas pj's we got her a dress too but on Christmas morning who has time to get the kids all dressed nice, We want to just run downstairs and see what santa brought us but still look good for pics!

Baby G's Firsts

Yay we had some firsts for Little G this week!

She rolled over all the way to her tummy ( she wasnt on the flat ground so the cushions on the couch kinda helped! )

She slept all night long! woo hoo i credit this to me having to work yesterday and she wouldnt take a bottle all day so she went like 6 hours with out eating......sad I know during the day but wonderful at nigth! Thanks Kelsey!

First Smiles! She is starting to show happiness! up until this point she could only cry and show when she was upset but now she can let me know when she likes stuff too!

Christmas Crafts

This week we did 2 fun lil Christmas things

Brie helped me make sugar cookies, and lets just say it would have been much easier with out her help but she had fun and thats all the matters! They turned out sooo yummy tho which is not good for mommy trying to loose weight but hey its holiday time!

We also made a count down to Christmas chain! Brie did all the gluing and we hung it up so we could take one chain off every morning till Christmas! Its helping her understand that its not Christmas yet but its on the way!

My Grown up Baby

Poor Brie is a good big sister but she also just wants to be the baby still! She is potty trained now so we ask her to use the big girl potty, and we changed her crib into a toddler bed and call it her big girl bed, Also when she is crying I tell her to use her big girl words.......well it turns out she hates being a big girl and says she still wants to be a baby. So I have been trying to give her lots of mommy snuggle time so she doenst feel left out. Daddy has been loving it though because she is all about daddy now, they snuggle before bed and when i have to go shopping she asks to stay with daddy! Im not going to lie its nice not being the only one she wants any more! But dont let her fool you she likes the things big girls get to do that babies dont, like drinking chai tea lattes every moring....well in a bottle!

Fancy Stockings

So here are the stockings we are making! perfect for a 2 year old and a 2 month old dont you think! My poor kids dont get fun things from me! any ways we are making the red velvet elf toe one and the fabric for them is amazing! We are going to do 2 to start and then think about making 2 more for mom and dad....we havnt been doing stockings for each other the past couple years so thats not a huge priority. I wonder if brie will say summin about mommy and daddy being on the naughty list!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had such a good 4 day weekend last week, i woke up this morning thinking how last thursday was so much better lol. Thanksgiving was very nice, we spent it with kacys family and omg there was so much food and it was all sooo good. We didnt really do much but just hang out and eat but it was nice for everyone to get to see the girls and for me to not have to deal with them most the day!

Black friday wasnt any big deal for me, I didnt have anything i really needed so i slept in and did some shopping later in the afternoon, we still got some stuff at good prices. That night i started making some presents for people, Id take a pic of what im making but some people reading this might be getting them so dont want to give anything away, ill show them after christmas. Friday night we took brie to the christmas parade and it was really the first year she had a lot of fun getting candy and waving at people on the floats. It did get cold though so we were happy to go home to the hot tub!

Saturday I did lots of shopping but sadly most of it wasnt even for christmas present! Brie is growing a lot lately so she needed some new clothes and G got her christmas pj's! The main thing we shopped for were stockings for the girl! I didnt want boring ones from the stores so we got a pattern and spent 2 hours picking out fabric for them! they are going to turn out great i hope!

And Sunday I just spent putting up the tree and decorating the house, Brie helped me put all the ornaments on the tree so most of them are at her level but its still a cute tree! now see a picture would look great right here but blogger has issues and would put it at the very top of the post and they just wouldnt work, back to wordpress?????

Smile

ooo some days i wake up after a horrible nights sleep, thinking why did I want kids. They never let you sleep, the make messes all day, its almost impossible to go do anything.......ahhhhhhh but as i picked G up from her bed she looked at me and gave her first big smile and i thought "Thats Why"
