It's Snowing

Hurray the snow finally made it here. I will have to get pictures of Peyton in the snow tomorrow. Just so excited. Besides the fact that the neighbors are out playing in the snow with their loud trucks at 11pm.....that's why I am awake.

Photo shoot with my punky

Ok I am just so in love with my daughter. I just love that she can make me so frustrated on minute, but the other just melt my heart. She is so full of life and so independent. I think I should apologize to my Mother, because I am sure I was hard like this. In the end, I know that she is the most beautiful, special, perfect little girl. My heart just aches with how much I love her. She is the most amazing thing that has ever happen to me. I love that I get to spend so much time with her. Hug and kiss your children today. =)

So Peyton and I started decorating today and then Nate actually got home from work early. So we all just put some stuff up. Peyton was too cute...she was so excited to open the boxes and see what was inside. "wow yook at this Mom"...it was pretty cute. I love how she says look. So here are a few pictures. I love the holidays and this makes me so happy. I hope you are all enjoying your holiday season.






This is Peyton helping.

Ok if you drink coffee I think everyone should have one of these. I wonder how well it holds the heat. I am totally a tall white Mocha extra hot girl. I love them and want one every day but just can't do it. This place has some cool things.

So tired

So it's 11:15 on the night before Thanksgiving and I am so tired. We let Peyton stay up way to late at Noni and Opa's house. All the other family members are staying the night out there but we decided to come home (dogs=responsibility). So I'm pretty tired but so excited for Thanksgiving...I will post some pictures late. I just wanted to wish every one a some what early....Happy Thanksgiving.

Reason for the Season

So I was sitting at lunch with Peyton today. She was eating peanut butter and jelly with a side of pickles. She asks me for pickles every meal. The funny part is Nate HATES pickles...the smell, the texture, the taste. It makes me laugh when she asks daddy for pickles. =) So on to my real story. I was talking to Peyton about Christmas and explaining to her that is was the birth of Jesus. I love kids brains. She thought for a second...then said in her silly voice, "we eat cake" So I think from this Christmas forward. We are going to have birthday cake on Christmas and sing Happy Birthday to him. Does anyone else have these kind of traditions? I just love that my daughter just help me make a new family tradition.

Decorating For Christmas

So does anyone else have the urge to decorate for Christmas yet? I get such a joy and love from turning my house into a beautiful holiday site. I don't do a ton but I just love the smells and the lights. For some reason I can just sit in a room and take it in and smile. So I want to know why if something so little as decorating makes me so happy why I can't do it yet. Just because thanksgiving isn't here yet...I just want to enjoy all the hard work of putting it up. What do you guys think?

Kung Fu Panda

Last night we rented Kung Fu Panda and had a little fun family night. We put a blanket down, had snacks, and watch the movie. Peyton thought it was so fun and was so excited about popcorn. She laughed at couple parts but mostly she was talking. Surprise, surprise. Nice thing was she stayed up just a little bit past her bed time and she went right to sleep. Oh I love sleeping children. I liked the movie...has anyone else seen it?

Holidays

So I asked Peyton the other day what she wanted for Christmas. She said "hmmmmm....a sucker" I said you don't want a doll house, or dress up clothes. "no i want suckers" I ask her if she wanted anything else "hmmmm....pretzels" Oh this kid is simple. I already have those things in my house...I can check Peyton off my list. Does anyone else have shopping started? Honestely I only have 1 gift bought for my niece Emma. That's it. I think it's only something like 33 days until Christmas. Good luck to you all. Poor Thanksgiving...always gets push aside until it's time to eat.

Dinner and Bath

We had spaghetti the other night. One of peyton's favorite. So nate got the camera out at dinner because she was being funny. I took it in the bathroom with us. She has so many ducks in the bath tub that she lines them up and plays games with them. I think her and Nate pretend to take pictures of them and make duck sounds. No clue but it makes her laugh so hard. He's a good Dad.
