My Parkey Boy!

This little guy is my little angel. I kicked him out of my room the other day so I could take a shower. He told me that it was OK if he stayed in because he wouldn't look. I told him that he needed to go play in his room and I would be quick. I closed and locked the door behind him. When I was dressed, I opened the door to find him waiting for me and he fell asleep. It was so cute!

MERRY CHRISTMAS


I didn't get Christmas cards out this year because we haven't had a family picture taken in a long while. In fact, our little Addy isn't in a family picture on our walls. I need to take care of that - in the meantime, these are pictures I took on Christmas Sunday. It isn't easy to get 4 kidos to cooperate taking pictures, let alone when you are running late for church.

Singing Christmas Songs

This year, Bailey and Taylor's school had a Christmas Craft night. Taylor's class was part of the entertainment. They sang Christmas songs up on the stage. They were so cute!

Downtown Christmas Tree Lighting

It's tradition to attend the Downtown Christmas Tree lighting. Every year I crack up because my kids always wonder how they get a tree that big in the park by the library. I tell them that it grows there. They never beleive me. I guess that they don't notice it with out the lights and decorations. Addy really liked it and would not stop touching it. If there is one child who can destroy a whole towns Christams Tree - It would be Adelyn Maseda!

Silveyville Christmas Tree Farm

Taylor had a field trip to the chritmas tree farm with his second grade class. I was able to go with him. We had a great time. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my kids to enjoy times like these.

Chritmas Decorating

It is always so fun to decorate for Christmas. This year Tom did a great job hanging up our christmas lights. This is the first year since we moved that we have done them. It took him a long time because he hung them on both stories. Bailey and Taylor were his big helpers and were aloud to get on the roof with him. I had to stay inside for this!! Tom ended up sick the next day and missed church from being in the cold for so long. He is better now - What a good husband. We Found a great deal on a tree and it leaned up against our wall in our living room for several days. We finally finished getting everything up.


Bailey and Taylor on the roof.
This guy is a character!
My sweet Bailey.
What a guy.
She really enjoyed putting the ornaments on the tree. Luckily she has left them there.

Finally....

On our way to Candy Cane Lane..

Lets try that again.



AND HERE ARE THE DECORATIONS!


Just Kidding....This is a house on Candy Cane Lane. It must have taken fo ever.

WE HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD!!

Thought I would share a few emails that I have sent today to my husband just to document this day!! I sometimes will keep Tom posted on some of the days activities - just so he is not missing out while he is at work. I don't really have to do this often, but today I have done it twice and it is only 11:00 a.m.

First e-mail:

GUESS WHAT ADDY JUST GOT PUT IN TIME OUT FOR SAYING????

I hate you mom! Repeated several times. I took some dirty bowls away from her that she took out of the dishwasher and she decided that she hated me for that. Just thought I would brighten you day with the words of a two year old...

**I had her come and stand in front of me to tell me what she was saying because I couldn't believe that I heard what I did. Yep! Sure enough, I heard right.


Second e-mail:
Do we have any supper glue??? Why do I ask. Out Nativity has survived Bailey, Taylor, and Parker. Not even a chip. They have been so careful. Well you can imagine what happened. In one fatal swoop, Addy took out three figures. One is broke in half and can be fixed with super glue. She took off Josephs hand, and crushed the head off of one of the wise men. We shall be on the hunt for a new one. The thing that made me mad is that she did it on purpose. I told her not to touch and so she took the one and crashed it into the others. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR HANDS FULL WITH THIS ONE!!!

**Parker told me that Addy ruined his entire Christmas (as he was crying). He said that the wise man that she destroyed was his favorite. I assured him that he could still have a good Christmas.
He helped me put up some decorations and felt better. I am glad the his ENTIRE Christmas isn't ruined!
