Christmas Fun!

Doing some posing at Scheels

Pretty Snow . . .





Dad and Owen making a snowman!



I showed Owen that snow was edible and he didn't stop eating it till we went back inside!



Owen's favorite toy out of the bunch! He practically wanted to sleep with it! Good job Dad on picking his favorite!



Looking Hot on Christmas morning, what amazing hair!



Every time I'd tell Owen to show me his toys, he's put them right in front of his face!

Our Christmas began on Christmas eve with reading the Christmas story and acting it out with the little manger scene for Owen. Owen was so excited about the baby Jesus. He stills talks about how " Baby Jesus was Born" even now. We opened a present and enjoyed some nice hot Cinnabons. Thanks to Brad and Owen. Mom was just not feeling her super duper self on Christmas eve. But Cinnabons sufficed very well!

Christmas day we enjoyed breakfast together. I think it was Omelets for about the 3rd day in a row. That's all that sounded good to me! It started snowing and we got about 4 inches or so! It was a beautiful white Christmas! Owen had so much fun opening presents. Once he figured out that there were toys in the wrapped boxes for him he just had a hay day! Every once in a while he'd get something boring like clothes that were for mom and he would get totally thrown off! After presents we headed out to make a little snow family. We got Mom and Dad built. But it started snowing a ton again so we took a break for some hot chocolate and more cinnamon rolls!

I have so many pictures on here now I really should be doing a sideshow. Oh well. The next couple of days we took it easy. Ate lots of chocolate and played games with friends. We also went to Scheels to ride the ferris wheel and browse.

New Baby Hellyar!

Yay! Finally a little picture of our new little baby Hellyar. :) And a relieving confirmation that there's only one baby in there! Not that I especially thought I was having twins or something but I've been pretty sick and I wasn't sick with Owen so I figured it could be that I was having twins or a girl. I am deffinately all for the girl as the solution. :)

The baby's arms were moving and we could see it's heart beating already! Even though I've done this before it's still so amazing to me!

Our calculations gave us a due date of July 18th. Todays appt said it was the 19th. The doctor said either day would work. So guess we'll go with the 19th! Yay we're so excited!

Christmas Magic

Some of my favorite Christmas things!






I love Christmas time! I love the beautiful nativities, the Christmas lights everywhere and the holly jolly Christmas music that plays on the radio till you nearly get sick of it by the end of the season! I love Christmas decorations and decorating.





And all the yummy homey Christmas scents! This Christmas we started a quest for the best peppermint bark. The best at World Market! Brad and I usually go traveling here or there for Christmas, but this year we are having our own and are looking forward to it!



Last year we started the tradition of having fresh baked cinnamon rolls and reading the Christmas story on Christmas eve. And of course we get to open one present too!! A couple of days ago we got a tiny dusting of snow. Owen was so excited to go outside and stomp around on it. It didn't even have to explain to him what it was or how fun it was. He woke up, saw snow outside and asked to go out and play!


I also love being done with school for a while. It's a nice break for Brad and I to spend time together. I love shopping together and having some fun late nights together watching our favorite movies and falling asleep on the couch.
