Sea world at Christmas time...

Jonathan, the kids and I go to the sea world annual pass members special holiday night each year. It always seem to fall on a Friday I'm coming back from an opening or traveling due to the time of year. This year was no different as I was at an opening, as soon as I got back we made a mad dash to sea world and we made it. It was great for the kids and it
was a great way to set the tone for the holiday season in our house... Happy holidays to all and we wish you a season of joy, happiness an love . Happy December !!!!

Jonathan's birthday weekend. 12/15

Happy birthday to my favorite man in my life, a wonderful husband and amazing father to our children. I'm sorry we didn't get to do anything super big but I hope will get to celebrate it the weekend after Christmas before new years. I know it kinda sucked that we both had to work. But at least we got to take you to dinner and sign you happy birthday. Ashton was so excited to make dads birthday tree and sign his card.... I don't know any kid that loves birthdays more then mine.

We love you honey and you for everything you do for our family!!!! You keep my world going. I love you.

  Getting ready for the big day 12/17
So I need to share my day and night before as I can't believe I got almost everything done before I had to fly out this morning.

Here was my check list:
- have fun with the kiddos and give them one on one time (YES)
- spend a little time with my bubba when he gets home (YES)
- finish christmas shopping ( 98% done have 5 things left to get)
- pick up a few things for a shower next month, to work on ( done)
- do 8 loads of laundry ( usually this hits the top, but because of xmas it took 2nd and got 6 of the 8 done)
- do grocery shopping ( done)
- cleaning ( done)
- pack my bag ( done)
- pack the kids ( done)
- get xmas eve outfits ready ( done)
- get everything wrapped including and hiding the special ones ( done, I'm so proud of myself. I did it)
- send out half the xmas card that came in still waiting on the rest ( done, with what I received, the rest will go out xmas eve) SORRY everyone I tried !!!!

Though that is a lot it seems like I did so much more. Anyways thanks for all hearing me out. I'm now off to my other job,  ha ha !!! The sad thing is I don't get home tell 12am christmas eve morning. But I did as much as I could and ill have to finish the rest xmas eve.. And for those of you that know me too well are probable thinking she must have not slept but I did make it to bed for a nap at 215am today before I had to leave.

The kicker is at 230am I sat up and realized we hadn't figured out what we were cooking on xmas eve. So I pushed on Jonathan right then to help me figure it out. Gotta love it!!!!

And to wrap this up I want to thank all of you that have sent text message and called me to see how I was feeling. Sadly I'm still sick with laryngitis.  And my whole voice is not back but I'm a trooper , even though I don't feel so hot. Not to worry I did go back to the doctors on Friday

Be merry and bright

Christmas time is here... its our annual seasonal boat parade and toys for tots drive. So we thought it would be great to get all of our friends and fam together being that we always try to squeeze in so much like holiday parties, birthdays and or some type of get together so why not do it all at once. I have to say it was a hit especially for the kiddos. They all got to be together, see santa , all the lights, enjoy the parade and drink hot chocolate. What more could a kid ask for??? Any how we had a great time and I also thought it would be fun for the kids to do an ornament exchange . But, the ornament exchange was pretty darn funny . As you all probable knew was coming... It still a little to hard for them to truly understand but they enjoyed opening something and all playing together. I'm so thankful for all of you in our life. Here are the pictures, I'm sorry their so late... Enjoy the season and I promise I will try to get back on track with my blog. Bye for now
