Christmas Time

It has been way too long since I've written. Honestly, I have been so darn tired that I don't feel like thinking about my thoughts and writing them down. Does that sound crazy? It's been a great month. Kaden had his birthday party and it was a success. It was the easiest party yet. I'm all about not having to do much. We've always done the parties at our house and it's just insane. So it was a nice change.

Thanksgiving was wonderful. It's always so great to see our friends and family. We were busy as always but it is always worth it. The food was yummy! We're were thankful enough to go to three places for Thanksgiving! Food, food and more food! We played SingStar at Wade's parents. It was so much fun! If you haven't played, it's a must!

It's so much fun to listen to Kaden get excited about all of the Christmas lights. We were driving in Old Town Spring the first week of November so Kaden could see the lights. It just happened to be the way we were going home. So you can imagine his excitement when he sees them on more and more houses. I love it too. This time of year is sooo magical. Right now we have the windows opened (though not for too much longer) and the fire going. We have our tree up (it's even more beautiful this year) and the stockings hung. We still have to put up the lights outside but I think either tomorrow or the next they will be up. We have an adorable Mikey snowglobe blow up in the yard that blows snow. It has Mickey ears! It's so cute!

We're going to the parade in downtown Humble Tuesday night. It's been a family tradition for years on my mom's side. It's even more special that my kids are a part of it now. We all go to the parade and then go to my grandparents house down the street for soup and laughter. Last year Wade was sick and Reagan ended up with a crazy fever when we came back home. So hopefully this year it will be better.

We took pictures of the kids next to the tree in a rocking chair. We weren't doing it for any reason other than just to do it. They weren't dressed for anything special and Reagan had actually been eating a chocolate chip cookie (some was on her face still). The pictures we took were actually pretty cute and I decided to go ahead and try to use them for our Christmas card. I went ahead and ordered them and they will be ready in a few days. I can't wait to see them. I just keep thinking, "This will probably be the one and only time they will both sit still long enough to get a picture." Seriously, Kaden doesn't sit still long. So we will see. I'll post some pictures soon.
