Our Christmas Surprise!

We're going to have a BABY!!! We are so excited! We wanted to tell our parents in a fun way so I went to the craft store and got some iron on transfer sheets and make Lexie a T-shirt to wear saying "I'm gonna be a BIG SISTER". And that is what she wore to our families houses on Christmas morning. It was so fun to see everyone's reactions. Everyone is so happy for us. I'm not very far along but I couldn't stand to keep the secret any longer! The baby is due around the end of August. Hopefully before my birthday on the 29th!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The snow is finally here! I am so excited that we are going to have a white Christmas! I don't really like snow but it doesn't seem like Christmas without it. It was so nice outside today and the kids wanted to play in the snow so I dressed them up and sent them out.

Poor Connor didn't have any snow clothes at my house so he had to wear Lexie's pink snow pants and pink gloves but he didn't seem to mind it at all. Since Connor was wearing Lexie's new snow pants she had to wear her old ones which are a size 6/9 months so they were a little tight and high-waters but they both had so much fun! The had a snowball fight, made snow angels and played on the slide. It was so fun to watch them. After they were both wet and cold we went inside for some hot chocolate.

Well that was going to be the end of my post but while I was typing the kids were playing in Lexie's room and I heard a loud crash. I ran in there to see what was going on and this is what I found.

Before I could even speak Seth said, "Look Bob! We made a fort!" He was so excited and they were all having so much fun playing in this "fort". They must have worked very hard on the fort because they stripped all the blankets and mattress pad off of Lexie's mattress and pulled all the baskets off of her shelves and moved it from her closet to the middle of the room. When I walked in Connor was standing on her dresser getting ready to walk on the mattress. I'm guessing that was Seth's idea and Connor was testing it out for him...gotta love older brothers.

You can imagine how excited I was to see this "fort" considering that I had spent most of the morning cleaning my house, especially Lexie's room. I think that Seth could tell that I wasn't very happy because he helped me clean it all up without complaining once. Crazy kids! Oh well, I guess it gives me something to blog about.

Pretty Girl!

This morning while I was checking my e-mail Lexie got in my purse and decided that she needed to put on some make up. It was so funny because when I saw what she was doing she said, "pretty" then she kept saying "cheese" so I took some pictures. She was playing with her hair and posing like she felt so pretty! I guess make up makes little girls feel pretty too. I think that she did a good job for a 1 year old, most of the lip gloss is on her lips and the eye shadow isn't too bad either.

This is Lexie saying "Cheeeese"
