I have yet to take down our trees -- I don't have the heart to do it quite yet! Every time Eli sees the Christmas lights are off of all the houses he says "I am so sad Christmas is over" break.my.heart!!!! So our trees are still up haha! We plan to take them down this weekend and I have explained to Eli that next year all of this will be back for sure and the next is for his birthday and then Valentine's Day and that has made him so excited so I hope the trees going down isn't an emotional time awww :] I just love love to hear my babies love the time of year like I do -- Christmas is so much fun -- esp with the kiddos :] Or heck... better yet, I could keep the trees up year round and we could decorate it with each holiday and birthday that comes up ha ;] I am JK! hahaha that would be so funny tho :]
Zacary is more and more of a toddler each day and it just makes me realize even more how much he is growing and how big he is growing! I feel like Eli was just his age and now look, Zacary is 15 mo old and Eli is 3 in 11 days! My oh my!!! It's so bittersweet but I do indeed cherish every single moment with my sweet babies! Zacary is saying more and more words... today after breakfast he said "Mama alllll done" awwww so stinkin sweet :] He smiles all the time and is one smart boy! He loves to mock Eli these days too -- anything Eli does, Zacary does the same haha! It's so cute and funny! He sees Eli after Eli wakes up each morning (he always wakes up after Zacary) and Zacary says "Hiiiiiii" and is so happy to see his big brother :] Melt my heart!!!! He is such a stinkin sweetheart just like Eli and I love love love them so much!!!
Eli is learning more and more with numbers and letters. He is counting things very good and counts in order very good too! He sees letters and will say "that is in my name" awwww :] He can spell his name too and tries spelling it out on paper -- it's rather adorable :] He knows his full name, Zacary's full name, and me and Noah's too :] He is oh so smart and such a sweetheart all the time. The things he says just melt me!! The other day he told me I am a superwoman and thanked me for making dinner for them! Awwwww :]:] He says something all the time that is just soooo sweet and cute! Not to mention -- the words "I love you Mommy" is one of the best things to hear out of your lil child's mouth :]:] Melt me!!!! Eli always looks out for Zacary and always tells me "Mommy I look out for Zacary to make sure he doesnt hurt" awwww :] It is one of the cutest things ever to see how protective he is of Zacary -- they are closer and closer as the grow and it makes me smile so much :]
We have Eli's birthday plans all in action and I am so excited! We have a small birthday party for him at a place like Monkey Joe's on the 15th for a couple of hours where the kids can jump and play and go down the slides, eat cake, open gifts, and then of course play the games and everything else too :] Eli picked his party to be Finn McMissile off Cars 2 so that is what his cake is, his favor bags, and I made him a big 3 and his name on the back of a Finn McMissile shirt :]
Then on the 16th, his actual birthday -- Noah has the day off for MLK's day which works out so awesome! We are gunna let the boys hit a Cars 2 pinata when they wake up and get all the candy, have Eli open the gifts from us (we got the 4 of us tickets to the circus for Eli's birthday and I am soooo stoked!!! -- then Zacary got him some Cars 2 race cars Eli doesn't have yet -- of course we got something small for Zacary too since he is young and won't understand!) -- I am sooooo excited haha!!! Birthdays for my babies are soooo fun to plan and to do for them :] Then on his actual birthday the 16th we are also going to an Atlanta Hawks NBA basketball game too that Eli wanted to go to when we asked him if he wanted :] We got tickets for $8 a piece and Zacary is free so that is awesome for an NBA game, and very close to us annnnd great seats too!!!! Then Eli wants to eat at Stevi B's for dinner as he picked of course -- which is a very yummy pizza place close to our house :] I am stoked for his big birthday :] I can't believe he is gunna be 3 though -- makes me so sad, in a good way tho! I just can't believe how fast my babies are growing and want them to stay little forever... thinking of the day they are off to school and move out already breaks my heart and makes me so so sad... ahhhh I just can't think of it!!!! Ohhhhhh how I love them SO SO SO much!!!!!
I hope you all had a great holiday season! We had a great time and the boys' were priceless at Christmas time... I swear it gets even better each year! We went to a friends' house for NYE and had a good time! The kids were out pretty early (I layed with the boys like I do every night and LOVE LOVE til they fell asleep and it didn't take long at all -- they were so exhausted from not napping very well that day awwww) b/c they were so tired and then my hubs and I played games with our friends and stayed up til midnight for the ball drop and had a great time -- we were up so so late but it was sooo worth it and so much fun with my hubs! I love it that we do stuff like this and just sit and chat together as our date nights when the kids go to bed -- it's so fun and good to do! I love him soooo and I am one lucky girl to have such a great hubby!!!! He's my bestest friend :] I am so so happy with my hubby and sweet baby boys -- life is so awesome and I am truly blessed :]
We did a birthday craft for Eli today and also did a penquin craft this week too -- the boys love their crafts and loved gluing and putting glitter on the caterpillars :] Zacary loves to lay on his belly and color awww so so so cute! Eli loves to be a part of every step for his craft also -- I love it and my sweet boys so much :]
Tomorrow's high is 65 and sunny so I am going to take the boys to a park and have a picnic and play!!! I am going to take some pics of the boys for Eli turning 3 too -- I will of course post them sometime this weekend :] I hope you all have a great weekend!!!! :]
