We have been in quite the Christmas mood lately of course – and the boys are realllly excited for it! We go anywhere and see Christmas galore and trees and lights and the boys get soooo excited!!! Eli sees the pink trees too and says "Mommy you looove that color -- are you gunna get that!?" awww!! Then we saw an elderly man that looked like Santa without the hat and suit on and Eli was stoked to see him and yelled "SANTA" and waved to him and said "Mommy he is gunna be at our house sometime soon!" awwwww :]:] I am going to take them to see him soon but I don't think they will want anything to do with him awww but this Mommy will sit on his lap with them :] I swear though, anymore stores go from Halloween decorations to Christmas and totally skip Thanksgiving!!! I really can’t even believe that Turkey Day is next week ahhh! It just doesn’t feel right!
We will be staying in GA this year and from now on for Turkey Day! We will be making our own traditions from now on – which will be nice! At the same time it will be mighty weird not being in IL – esp this year since it will be our first time away from family at this time! But we have to choose between Thanksgiving and Christmas and can’t do both – we did both last year b/c it was our first year away from IL and b/c Zacary was just born too! But from now on, it’s one out of the two. And Christmas it is and I am excited for this! Last year we picked a day to have our Christmas the 4 of us which was the weekend before Christmas and we are doing that again this year too! Call me selfish ha but I love it this way! We get a whole DAY to ourselves and don’t have to go anywhere and to top it off – the boys have alllll week before we go to IL for Christmas there. We have 3 Christmas’ and it is great! The boys will always understand it that way too and love it just as much! It seems like anymore around holidays it is a bunch of running around and sooo crazy so this will be a nice tradition to keep up for us and to see family and friends too!!
The boys are learning so so so much! I think this month Zacary has learned sooo much and he is so darn smart just like Eli! He is saying more words, such as: ball, up, more, juice, drink and really anything we say he tries to say words of it back and it is so darn cute! He is beginning to run now too and it’s so funny to watch – with his lil self and age he looks so cute walking so good and he is also picking up on how to play baseball more too -- he holds a bat up and goes and gets a hard hat and wants to have me put it on his head!!! Sooo smart!!! Eli has been a singing machine lately and singing his ABC’s, counting to 15, singing all kinds of country songs (including Shake it for Me haha) annnnd now sings Footloose too and it is hilarious – I laugh and laugh every single time! I am going to post a video oh so soon! He is really into puzzles lately and will take all the pieces out and match them back where they go and is very smart with it -- it's so cute to watch him concentrate and say "Mommy, Eli put this here, is that right!?" awww!! Zacary is also pointing at everything he recognizes and also showing me everything he gets out or wants me to see – it’s stinkin sweet! My babies are beyond the best :]
This weekend Noah is in a slow pitch softball game and we are chilling! I am going to clean out my closet and the guest closet and also swap the boys clothes around – which means, get rid of more clothes Zacary doesn’t fit into anymore :[ and put it in storage and then take the 2T clothes Eli doesn’t fit in anymore and put them straight in Zacary’s room! That is how it has been so far – Eli outgrows clothes and they go straight to Zacary’s closet to wear after he is out of what he is in now!! Nice :] I am so beyond thankful for my lil family so so much – always giving me a reason to smile, and I enjoy every single second with them! They make me who I am and I’d be lost without them!!!! I hope you all have a great weekend :] Here are some recent pics of my sweet and precious babies lately – they roooock and I just love love loooove them so so much!!! They are 2 lil sweethearts that is fooor sure :]
PS -- we made Turkey Day shirts yesterday and they are so so cute! I made them with the boys' handprints and painted the feather colors Eli picked out for them over the brown of their fingers! They turned out SUPER cute and we had tons of fun as always :]
