We have company!!!!

Today my niece Ariana, and her 7 week old son, Mahkai, came for a visit. It feels so goo to have a baby in the house again....mainly because I can get my snuggles in and still get a full night sleep :)

Graidan was almost as excited as I was. He is the kid that will tend to every little squeal, whether it is from delight or discomfort. It is too cute!

Mickey wrote back!!!

Some of you may remember my "Disney Dreaming" post from the end of October when the kids and I wrote letters to our favorite Disney character in the hopes that they would write back......well, they did!!!

The boys were pretty excited to get mail addressed to them today.

Game Night

Hudson is obsessed with this game and every time we go to visit Auntie Aimee he needs to get it out....Mainly because he likes to hoard and carry the little pieces around with him but nonetheless, after receiving it for Christmas, we decided to give it a go tonight.

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Two years ago today we were celebrating our vows in the Mayan Riviera on the beach. Although our marriage is relatively recent we have been together for 11 years. We have built 2 houses and had 2 wonderful little boys and nothing has changed between us. Tonight we are getting to go out with some friends for supper..... a romantic evening out with just the 2 of us is just not "us". Felt so good to get out and have some laughs with some pretty fab peeps. Thanks for coming guys!

And thanks for all the cards as well.

Make-your-own Pizza Night

I didn't feel like cooking tonight (what's new?) so I decided rather last minute that it was going to be Make-Your-Pizza night. I quickly discovered that I didn't have any dough but came across som Bisquick so the boys used that and was very surprised that it turned out quite well.

Magic Paper Tree

The boys got this neat little tree as part of a gift from their Auntie Karrie. It was pretty cool to watch it start to eveolve in just a few short minutes. We did it right before bedtime so the boys woke up to quite the surprise in the morning.

Merry Christmas 2011!!

It is so great to have all of my family around for Christmas. It just gets better and better as the kids get older!

The boys were quite concerned about us not having a chimney so it's a good thing Auntie Danica brought this early gift to hang on the front door ;)

Santa must've been full by the time he got to our house so the boys took it upon themselves to clean up the crumbs and eat the remaining cookies in the morning.

Little Mr Mahkai slept through his first Christmas morning!

Graidan zipped himself up into his sweet new hockey bag from Auntie Aimee.

Bahaha....enough said!

The look on my face doesn't quite explain my confusion. Ryan got me a sweet new lense for my camera and this (as I was thinking in my head) just wasn't big enough. What he had done was bought me a coffee cup that looked like a lense and loaded it up with rolled coins to make it heavier. It was so confusing for me.....

Such good times and the kids were so happy with their gifts. Hope everyone had a great Christmas as well!
