Exactly One Year Ago...
Exactly one year ago I told Valerie and Chrissy about the dream that I had.... that all 3 of us would be pregnant together! Valerie said "No way!" and Chrissy and I both wanted another baby, so we thought it would be cool. 2 weeks later Valerie informs us that she's PREGNANT! A few weeks later Chrissy tells us she's PREGNANT! Then a couple months later... yep, you guessed it - I find out that I'm PREGNANT! So all 3 of us were pregnant together. Both Valerie and Chrissy have had their babies and any day little Jeremiah will be here.

Super Painter In Laws!!
My sister-in-law, Chrissy, and my Mother-in-law came over today and painted both Makayla and Karissa's rooms!!!!!!!! Yeah! I was so THANKFUL that they did this. I would have loved to have painted the rooms for them, but since I'm pregnant I couldn't do it. They got both rooms done and they look FANTASTIC! I'm waiting for the paint to dry so I can start getting their rooms put back together. I'm praying that Jeremiah doesn't decided to come tonight because I have a lot to do and my house is a wreck since all of the girls stuff is in my living room! Here are some pictures of their rooms with the new colors. Karissa's is purple and Makayla's is pink.

Belly Pictures by Miss SueB
Today Miss Sue of Mike and SueB Photography (http://www.mikeandsuebsphotography.smugmug.com/) took some belly pictures for me! What a great thing to have to remember these days of my pregnancy.
This hand print idea came from Miss Lori! Thanks for a great suggestion - I think it turned out adorable!

Christmas Morning
Karissa and Makayla were very excited to see what Santa put in their stockings first thing! The first thing that Josiah wanted to know was if Santa ate his cookies and drank his hot cocoa!
I think everyone had a great Christmas and really enjoyed all of their gifts. Makayla and Karissa had to leave as soon as they were done opening their gifts to go spend the day with Cassidy and Allen. I bet they'll be excited to come home today and play with all their new toys.

Santa definitely came and saw the kids! They were very excited and happy to see everything that he and mommy and daddy brought!
Karissa was very excited about all of her barbies! Josiah knew which packages were his by the Spiderman wrap that Santa used and he looked all over for more Spiderman presents, even when it meant he had to work really hard to dig them out!
Makayla guessed that her barbie house was a bookshelf! I hope she really enjoys playing Barbies with that huge house! She let Josiah and Karissa help her. Josiah absolutely LOVED opening the presents and was really happy with everything, but when he opened his trash can - his face said it all... "what in the world?" He and Makayla have been wanting one, so I thought they'd be happy. Makayla was more thrilled with her trashcan and measuring cups then most of the rest of the stuff! Funny how kids are. Karissa really had her sparkle back this Christmas and it was really fun to see her enjoy opening her presents. Karissa opened up a rug (which was for the playhouse step) and she was so excited! She took it back and put in front of of her bedroom door - she was so proud, I almost hated to tell her that it was for outside! She was really smart about putting things together - when she opened her mirror, she said "so I can quit looking in Makayla's mirror! I have my OWN now!". Karissa really enjoys some time in front of the mirror! She also figured out that the eraser and dry erase markers were for the dry erase boards we (Gramps and I) made. I was impressed with how well she put things to together this year!
Daddy was pretty excited about his little fridge for his shop! Daddy spoiled Mommy with some really nice gifts! Thank you Honey!
Josiah was thrilled with the kitchen! He spent lots of time cooking in there. We took it out to the playhouse and it looks really good in there with all of the new things that they got! I hope that the kids really enjoy their time out there.
There's what I call Joey's "personal vending machine" - I filled it with snacks, goodies, and things I thought they might need while they are hanging out (or should I say working) in the shop. They have a nice variety of goodies!

Santa brought Josiah a motorcyle toy that you have to kick start to make it go! How appropriate for him. It took him awhile to get the coordination down, but once he figured it out he was a pro at it. The same thing with the shoot guns that Santa brought him. I was almost afraid he wasn't going to be strong enough or coordinated enough to make them work, but by bed time he had no problems (other then not being able to find the balls or darts!).

Christmas Eve Present
It's a tradition in our family (since I was a kid) to open up a present Christmas Eve. Guess what it is....
Obviously the kids were VERY EXCITED about their new pajamas and Santa coming.

Getting ready for Santa and his Reindeer
The kids love to help take care of Santa's reindeer - they fed them some carrots and Josiah had some magic hay.
They left some cookies and hot cocoa for Santa!

Gramps and Gamma had us over for Christmas Eve and we had a great time. We had a yummy dinner of Chicken Spaghetti and then we opened lots of nice gifts!
Christmas Eve at Gramp and Gamma's House
Gramps and Gamma really spoiled us all... we got lots of great gifts! Joey and I got a new grill and cover. We sure were excited because we really needed a new grill - can't wait to use it!!!
Gramp's got a "cool" hat like Daddy likes so much - (Gramps really thinks they are goofy)!

Making Christmas Cookies for Santa (Part 4)
Today the kids made cookies for Santa! They had a great time! I really enjoyed watching them cook not only because they looked so cute, but because they were so proud of their work. I just had to post lots of pictures because I couldn't narrow it down any more! Hope you enjoy.
