wrapped up and ready!

angie and i had a wonderful time yesterday. we went to finish our christmas shopping and just had a date. we went to dinner and did our business at toys r us, the mall, and got groceries at walmart. we had a blast. nothing spectacular happened - we were just totally enjoying each other and being together. i love it when we have days like that. oh wait - an afterthought - something spectacular did happen - i got new shoes compliments of my girl! :)

when we got home i wrapped all the boys toys up and they are ready for santa to put them under the tree. angie is such a sucker. we had a very specific list to get at toys r us and we sooooo did not stick to our list. i've come to the conclusion it's a lost cause to not totally spoil them. angie totally defeats my purpose. she can't pass up anything she's in love with getting them. her self control is pitiful when it comes to her boys! :) but - in reality - that's why i love her!

next weekend is baby landon's baby shower (and his mama too!). i am so excited. the decorations are in a frog theme and not overly "baby". we wanted to do something out of the ordinary that wasn't the run of the mill baby shower. i made the centerpieces out of cattails and we used green and brown to decorate.

as of 9:00 on wednesday night i will be DONE with this semester. i am so glad. i feel so out of touch with everything because i am either at work or at school. i haven't seen my baby girl lilly in probably a month and that's just shameful. how am i supposed to be her favorite aunt when she never sees me? :) i'm going to do better as soon as school is out.

so most of you who know jaxson and his little outgoing personality know he says some really hilarious stuff. so i have a quote. at 4:00 am a few nights ago he came to get in bed with us and he had some sleepy stuff in his eyes and he said, "mommy i think i have crumbs from my cheerios in my eyes." i thought it was hilarious. :)

until next time... keep warm.
