We're BACK!!!

I know you just could hardly stand it right? HA! We took a much needed and fun relaxing time off. I got to enjoy just being a mom again full time for 2 whole weeks! We played hard, shopped a lot, spent time in TN with family, ate WAYYY to much food, but LOVED everyday of it!



Today is back to normal and back to work for me and J. I am a tad nervous, as I work on a new plan to balance a full time job and two little boys. One who has outgrown his nap and the other who is on the move now and down to one nap! Time will tell and it will all work out!


We did so much while we were gone I am not sure I even know where to start. I really want to work hard this year on blogging each afternoon/night about that day. This is my scrapbook and I want to remember every day like it was. Life is not always peachy and roses, and those days make us who we are too! We have a wonderful life and much to b thankful for and I don't want to forget that either! But now that I have said it out loud maybe I will stick to it!


Here are some of my favorite pictures from Christmas. Jack and Henry both LOVED Christmas and everything about it. And we were most excited about the trip to Disney World coming very soon! However both boys were much more into the toys and as much as Jack had been telling everyone all he wanted was a boom boom gun, and a cat piano from Target for Henry. (and thanks to Gigi and Geepers for providing the beloved cat piano that "santa" was not going to provide! HA!) we are not a bit surprised!




This year was Christmas with J's family, and since J's sister just had a baby and we stay home on Christmas Day we spent Friday night with Aunt Em and Uncle Pookie before they left town on Saturday, a little time with J's parents on Christmas Eve, Pop and Nana came over for a yummy lunch J cooked on Christmas Day, and we had planned for dessert at some friends on Christmas night until Jack decided to nap right through dinner until 11pm and then stay up until 3am! But that's a another story for another day! HA!


We spent New Year's weekend in TN visiting with J's grandparents, aunts and uncles, and of course we got lots of play time at the Aunt Shan's since we stayed there! THey also won the top gift award with Jack. He is OBSESSED with his angry birds game. I think so much that they might have topped Santa!



J's grandparents always go over and above for Christmas and my new camera bag and earrings just might make me giddy!! But my most favorite gift this year were the picture frames that J's dad made me. I LOVE them. And for me the saddest thing about Christmas is that Jack wore the last longall or jon-jon that he will ever wear! Sad I know!!! He was ready even though I was not, but it was time. Growing up too fast!



I think that sums it up and I am shocked if you are still reading! Happy Tuesday!!
