Christmas fun

So I meant to write on Friday and of course, never got around to it. I always get caught up in life. But Luke and Lillian had a Christmas party on Friday and went to school in their Christmas pj's. They were so cute. Luke had a little party and I, trying to be a great mom spent way too much money making little candy/toy bags for his home room class. We took a pic before they left. Luke is going through this 'I will not acknowledge the camera' phase and so every picture we have he is squirming, trying to get away. Except, occasionally he will participate and ham it up while screaming "cheeeesssee". So cute. (btw, all my pics will just be at the end of the post cause I'm on the iPad and cant figure out how to correct this)
I had to work on saturday so I started my Christmas vacation on sunday. Usually we are in Fayetteville the weekend before Christmas but this year we went up early since the hubs had to do some work there. It was so great to just relax and hang out with the kids. We did our Christmas, Christmas eve morning. I made us breakfast and we sat around and watched the kids open up their gifts(really only one can open, the other just eats the wrapping paper). Their big gift was a table with chairs. Luke didn't leave it all morning! He loves it! Even Lillian loved sitting there with her brother. They were so adorable. Then we just got Luke some Hot rod cars which, I am still having trouble believing he is old enough for Hot Rods! And Lillian some small stuff but not sure what there called.
That evening we went to Shane's grandpa's house for dinner. There was about 25 people there and everyone brought a dish. I made a 'Better than sex cake'. If you have never had this cake, look it up. It is so delicious!
After his grandpa's we headed to his momma's house. Which is where we've been since. We had a great morning of watching the kids open their (waytoomany) gifts before we had lunch. Actually, Luke opened everything. Including the adults gifts. And Lil sat in the middle of it watching (and eating, again). Shane's mom actually has lunch catered and it is soooo nice. It's all the typical southern food you have at Christmas. Honestly, I think I might suggest this for my family at thanksgiving next year. I love to cook but by the time you make food for 25 people and clean it up, your just exhausted.
So, anyway, we stayed at his momma's house that night and it ended up snowing almost 10 inches! That is a shit ton of snow for us! Last year we didn't even see a snowflake! Electricity is out in more than half the homes in central Arkansas including ours so we will just be staying here with the in-laws till it comes back on. If she doesn't kick us out first! Hahaha. No, seriously. Couple more days and she just might! So I leave you with some pics and I'll let you guess which days there from. Haha. Later, chicas!

Christmas story

Ok, so I'm redoing this for like the hundredth time. I am so not good at this. Ughhh. And if it turns out crazy please don't make fun of me. So I'm linking up with Darci, who has no clue who I am. Hi Darci!
So the first pic is this year. My child is seriously scared of Santa. The second(sorry, I cannot figure out how to post these without them showing up at the end of the page) was last year. I had a very happy baby til we sat him on santa's lap. So classic.

So I have a sick baby.....

Who has thrown up on me twice in two day. Now, she isn't viral sick. She is RSV/ear inf sick. And the RSV is mild. Thankfully. So, are you asking why she threw up on me then? Why, because baby girl is just like her mama was as a child and can't take medicine. Not even liquid. Now, occasionally she does ok but this is not get first round of antibiotics and I have been thrown up on before.. Her brother is a pro and takes it like we're giving him candy so I guess I should've expected the EXACT opposite of him, you know? Ughh...anywhoo. Just ready for her to be better. After a few nights of no sleep I THINK we're getting back to normal. Now here's hoping brother(yes, we're the berenstein bears around here. Brother and sister.)doesn't get it.
Also, I know I said I'd update after thanksgiving but really....does it matter at this point? We're almost Christmas. Just know I ate to much, gained way to much and got up way to early to shop. But it was good times with the fam as usual. And here's a pic of the babies from thanksgiving. Please know my toddler put the hats on both of them. We were just fortunate to get a pic.....
Ok so no-go on the pic. Maybe another day.
