Here is the happy couple! (You can't even tell she is over 8 months pregnant)This year we are having our very first Christmas at home. We planned our Christmas with Josh's family for last weekend so that we could still see everyone. Braylen and Sarah were so excited that they were getting to open presents early. They got so many good surprises and as always had so much fun with Mimi, Gregpa, Jacob and Joy. Here are just a few pictures from our early Christmas.
I know it has been what a month since my last post. Sorry!!! I can't say we have been doing much exciting, but I feel like we have been so busy. I am just going to fill you in on some of the sweet (cute) things these kiddos have been doing.
1. Sarah has been trying to talk so much lately. She points at the Christmas tree and says Christmas tree and shakes her head and says no touch!!! It is adorable...
2. Braylen just this week has not "shoo-weed" in a diaper since Tuesday. Last night he even asked to go to the potty after we had put his bedtime diaper on him. This is huge....we have been waiting on this since August!!
3. We have Gordy (our elf) at our house now and the kiddos love looking for him every morning when they wake up.
4. Braylen is so excited that Santa is coming for Jesus' birthday and is going to bring him Thomas toys.
5. This week Braylen has once again had a fever virus. I think we get it about 2-3 times a year. He has no symptoms just a fever whenever the Motrin wears off and it lasts for about 3 days.
6. Sarah is going through EVERYTHING!!!! Any cabinet, drawer or whatever she takes everything out and then she moves on to something else. She loves it!!!
7. Braylen is starting to eat a little better. We are threatening him, but hey whatever works, right?!?
8. Braylen is scared to DEATH of the shower. Yes the shower! I don't know why, but he hates it. I know it is awful but nothing else seems to work for punishment so what else do we say but "I'll put you in the shower" It works!!! That is how he started "shoo-weeing" in the potty. That is how we get him to eat his veggies.
This weekend we are going to Birmingham for Christmas with the Mims!! I am sure I will have lots of pictures to post on Monday.
Have a good weekend!!
