Thanks for the Shower!

Thanks to my darling friends, I had a surprise baby shower. They had told me that they wanted to throw a shower for our friend Amanda (who is expecting her first girl after three boys), and that they would plan and prepare everything, they just wanted to have it at my house. I was only worried that I would go into labor before then, since the shower was planned 5 days before my scheduled c-section. They had told Amanda that the shower was for me, so they got us both. I had so much fun and Sadie got so many fun things. Thanks a bunch everyone, you all are the best!!

Christmas at the Currents

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve over at Gene and Sue's house. The kids had a blast sledding and playing with their cousins. We came home with more gifts than we knew what to do with (Surprise Surprise)!!! Anyways, Mady woke up especially early to see if Santa had stopped by. She was very patient and waited until her brother woke up so we wouldn't have a "bad day"! The kids loved opening presents and eating lots of candy!

Pictures with Santa

We braved the mall and the weather today to go visit Santa. Mady was able to give him her letter that she wrote for him at school. Cade asked for candy and a dirt bike and Mady asked for a house that talks and answers questions. We might be taking up a fund for these extravagant gifts!!!!! But, I'm sure they will be happy with whatever Santa brings them.

Mady's Christmas Program

Mady had her first Christmas Program. It was so much fun to go see her perform. They sang about 10 Christmas Songs. My normal video camera wasn't charged so I had to use my small camera, so the picture or recording aren't that great. She did so good and loved seeing all of her family there to support her. Cade loved it too, he was trying to imitate everything that his sister did. Afterwards, we got to have frito pie with her class. And for all those who are wanting a belly picture, Brice had me and Cade pose with our bellies. His is much cuter though. Only 25 more days to go! Yippee!!

Pictures Of Our New House

I've had people ask about our new house so I thought I'd take a few pictures. We are pretty much settled in, with a few boxes here and there. And against Brice's wishes, there is still more decorating to do. Too many bare walls!

Here are a couple shots of our kitchen and frontroom.

Here is the our room and bathroom.

Here is my Laundry Room/Office. We were short one room so we combined. One thing is for sure if I work to much, I'll smell like detergent!

And here are a few pictures of Mady and Sadie's room, Cade's room and their bathroom.

I didn't take a picture of my closet though, I'm waiting to pack the maternity clothes away and free up some space for some fun new clothes, but I will say that my closet is awesome. It is the first time since we've been married that Brice and I can actually share the same closet, instead of having them in seperate rooms. I joke around that our builder didn't know who he was taking to when he was being nice and said I could design all of the closets in the house. He probably thought they would be pretty simple, but I spent a couple hours planning and designing, mine and the kids closets. It was so much fun!

Fantasy of Lights

Our family got to go for a horse and carriage ride through the Fantasy of Lights in Aztec. The kids loved all the bright lights and especially the horses. Afterwards, we went to Papa and Sue Sue's for hot chocolate. It was a late school night, but well worth it.

Christmas Anticipation

The first night we set up the tree the kids were so excited they wanted to sleep by it. Their Grandma Sue Sue bought them each their own cot and so they wanted to try them out. Needless to say their mom is a stick in the mud. It was a school night for Mady and Cade has yet to sleep in a bed (without some sort of railing) without falling out multiple times during the night. So I let them watch a movie instead. They still had a great time!
