The Christmas Season

Due to the fact that I'm behind...going to make this post short and sweet but wanted to have all the pics on here!

Holiday Parties

Waiting....

Our first time waiting to see Santa! Boy did we wait!!! Bring nine months pregnant and standing for that long was not fun but as soon as the kids got to sit on his lap, it was all worth it! 

Decorating Christmas cookies.  Great Christmas tradition with my mom.

Sprinkling reindeer dust so the reindeer can see our house:)

The big kid in the family

38 weeks

Christmas was very special this year for us. The kids really understood everything which made it magical.  We were anxiously awaiting the birth of baby number three,  due January 8th and we were told she could come at anytime!

A Busy November

Coming back from a trip to the park in November. Warm weather almost all of November! We tried to be outside as much as we could.

School pic. I love his smile!

My friend Jen and I did a few craft shows

It was hunting season around here!

We started getting ready for Christmas...

Switching out beds

Just hanging out

We converted Nolan's crib into a full bed. He loves it! So comfy:)

Lots of leaves to rake!

This kid is always working...even dresses like his dad! When I work in my craft room, both Nora and Nolan have their own "office" in my room as well!

She loves getting ready first thing in the morning while Nolan would never change out of his jammies if I left it up to him!

See what I mean! Still in jammies...which is great when we stay home all day. We did this as much as we could because Ryan and I wanted to get things marked off our to do list before Christmas and the baby arriving. Cleaning out all of the storage rooms and basement was top on the list...and moving all the baby stuff upstairs.

We worked hard around here!

Halloween 2015

I didn't take any pictures on Halloween because Nora was sick but these were from the day before...

Not the best pic of all of us but the kids got to trick or treat at Troxell...good thing because this is all Nora got to do!

My "Sprinkle" Shower

My GNO (Girls Night Out) group is the best! This is a great group of girls I'm so glad to be a part of. We go to dinner the first Thursday of the month and always have a blast! 

The first Thursday in November,  they threw me a surprise Baby Sprinkle! We got pedicures and manicures before heading to dinner at Bella Milano. Talk about totally spoiling a mom-to-be, get pampered and then eat an awesome meal! I couldn't get over all of the trouble they went to for me and the thought that was put into it! Thanks again girls, it was a very nice shower and a fun way to celebrate baby number 3!

All the girls:)

I loved all the sprinkles they used, they're my favorite kind! 

This cake tasted just as good as it looked!  So yummy!

Diaper cake

What a great evening!

Grandparent's Day at Blessed Sacrament pre-k 2015

This was Nolan's first grandparent's day at Blessed Sacrament. He was so excited (like you can't tell in the pics) to have his grandparents there and show them around his school. Plus, I think he enjoyed having them to himself! 

I asked the grandparents to take some pictures and they did a great job!

He got a ride to school from MoMo

What a photo! Nana and Papa Tom with the Pope :)

They told me he wanted a picture by the "N" because Nolan starts with "N".
