Happy Holidays!

Wow! Christmas is only a few days away....we talk about Santa daily in this house....

the past month has been busy, but also some sickness making its way through the family...we seem to be healthy now. Aunt Angela visited for 2 weeks...the kids loved it! She was able to take part in many things with us, including Braydon's 3rd birthday party at GymJam and his real birthday on Dec.10th.....

We are ready for the holiday, and leave for Michigan on Dec.21st....we are driving as a family this year, and are looking forward to some time with family and friends...

I will try to post somethign before we leave..otherwise...see you in 2008!

Happy Thanksgiving and the month of November!

Happy Holidays! can you believe it is here.....braydon tells me daily what Santa will be bringing him for Christmas, and we have not been able to explain that Santa does not always bring EVERYTHING you want....it will be fine!

We have had an interesting month.....Brielle is walking like crazy...now running at times, and is into everything. She has started to say more words, mimic some animal sounds, and definately teasing her brother! :) She is also cutting 3 teeth on the top right now...so, finally those lonely two bottom teeth will have friends and she may be able to bite something.

We all had an element of the flu this month, and knocked us all out for about 2 weeks total...not fun!

Thanksgiving was spent here with friends...Jeff, Sage and Jecen joined us for the day and night and Braydon had a great time following an older boy around......

our big news of the month....BRAYDON is now POTTY TRAINED!!!!! he did it on his own, he was ready...and so am I...we are thrilled and has been really good about it and does not seem to show any signs of turning back....very exciting!

We now look forward to a busy month of December with a lot of fun things planned...stay tuned for more pics!

looking at the TOYS R US ad and telling me what he wants for Christmas! the season starts! :)
