Tis the season

Merry Christmas y'all!  I have been so excited for Christmas this year!  I'm not sure why but I think it might have something to do with the fact that I no longer am so stressed out with school and I can acutally feel excited for something other than the end of the semester!!!  I mailed out christmas cards this year ( well technically, they'll be in the mail tomorrow) but for those I don't have addresses for here is what you missed out on.

 
We had the Hyde family christmas party last night, and the kids had so much fun.  Brad's aunt (or his dad's cousin, or something like that) was in charge this year and she got a clown to come perform for the kids while they waited for the man of the evening to show and it was a huge success.  They all loved Soda Pop and Emma now wants her to come do her birthday party.  She was very good and had all the kids, except for Wyatt, thoroughly entertained.  Wyatt was not into the clown, except when she started making balloon animals but he didn't care much for the magic tricks she was doing. Santa did not disappoint this year and the kids all loved what he brought them.
 



 
Wyatt got a pair of work gloves that Santa found at Home Depot that were just his size and a set of wrenches ( everyone couldn't believe that a 3 year old was in heaven with that gift, he has yet to take the gloves off or set the wrenches down and has slept with them every night).  Olivia got a stuffed dog animal. And she wasn't quite sure about the Jolly old man this year.  She has been sick all weekend though and didn't want to have much to do with anyone except mom.  But she has become quite fond of dolls and stuffed animals.  Emma and Maycee each got a set of 20 pairs of new earrings.
 
All in all it was a good night and the kids had fun. 
til next time...
 

A little behind

So I have not been so hot about keeping this blog up to date-so...Here is the picture of the kids from Halloween this year.
 
 
 
Emma and Maycee are Monster High monsters, Wyatt is a pirate and Olivia is a witch.  They went trick or treating around the neighborhood with Brad as I had to work til 7:30 that night.  They had a blast!
