"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oh what fun it is for a 2 year old to take pictures!:)
33 weeks and Heath's face says it all! I'm being induced at 38 weeks so 5 to go.



Well, I'm not getting Christmas cards out this year. Just feeling a little too overwhelmed. I'm simplifying. :) We just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. My aunt requested some pictures so here's the best we could do. I think.

Santa


We had a ward Christmas party last Saturday and guess who showed up? Yep, you guessed it Santa! Noah is not too fond of him at this point so this is the best picture I could get. Poor baby!

4 Naps, 3 nights, and 72 hours

It's a miracle! Tuesday morning I woke up and decided we had to do some changing around here. I'm only about 7 weeks away from the arrival of the new baby and Noah just isn't ready. So, I decided Tuesday was the day to get rid of his "mimi" (AKA paci). I cut the tip off and told him it was broken. He tried it several times, throwing it to the ground between each attempt. After crying for an hour he was finally tired enough to go to sleep without it. That was the last time he saw it. I can tell he wants it sometimes but he's doing pretty good. My little boy is growing up. He even sleeps part of the night in his toddler bed. I'm trading a little snuggling time for the loss of the mimi. This baby will be here before I know it.

More Thanksgiving in Texas

Here's a picture of Noah with his cousins. It was hard to get them to all stay still and look at the camera. This is the best picture on my camera.
Noah helped decorate Grandma's Christmas tree.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving all the kids decorated sugar cookies. Have a look at this pile of cookies. Noah took ONE bite out of each cookie and stacked them. This is how far he got before we noticed and stopped him.

We had a great time in Texas. We were glad to see our family and Noah enjoyed playing with his cousins.

Thanksgiving in Texas

Me and my mommy. She doesnt' like her picture taken so this is her way of ducking the camera.
Noah boxing with Josh and Jon, my brothers.
My mom and my sister. Mom still trying to get away from the camera.
