Aaron favorite movie is the Grinch That Stole Christmas he is always singing the songs his VERY favorite is Welcome Christmas-he wanted to sing it and hold hands around the christmas tree :)too cute!one of those special moments that will bring a smile to my face when watching the movie or hearing that song!

Thursday 14th we got some snow the boys were super excited!!!couldn't wait to go out and play in it! Aaron built a mini snowman and Kyle went sledding down our little hill in our driveway!!Than we came in and had some hot coco to warm us up..we got about 5/6inches of snow more than enough for me!!This weekend we are suppose to get some more snow!!!!hope not too much!!

Have a safe week and hope all your chrsimtmas shopping is done or close to being done!

So I've been a pretty bad blogger lately!what else is new ;) been pretty busy and not very productive with the scrapping!thats my excuse for not posting!!hoping in like 2wks i will have more energy so i can stay up and scrap just been so sleepy its horrible!

So I got some really SAD news today MFM is closing :( and this kit we will get! Saddens me that I will be not be able to visit and chat with my buddies over there so we hoping to do still stay in touch some how!Shari had some AWESOME kits BRIGHT colors the DT TOTALLY ROCKED and just OverAll AWESOME!Shari is closing down to spend more time with her family totally understand family comes FIRST!!!Love ya Shari and thanks for everything!!

I have a doctor's appt. this Saturday scared to see how much I have gained (yes already)I've been eating like a crazy woman!!!lol-babies hungry and wants some food!

And also on Saturday I will be getting my NEW (to me) Toyota Sienna!!!!super excited about that just driving my car I am stoked thinking its going to be nice to have so MUCH more room!!not sure how I lived in that small car with the boys!I was just noticing the other day how Kyle is having a hard time getting out of the car especially if he is trying to get his backpack out of the car and his legs he is getting bigger and our family is getting bigger so that calls for a bigger car :)
