Do you remember the guy from the MicroMachine commercials? The one that must have been an auctioneer at some point in his life. Well lately I feel like my mind is going as fast as his mouth.
BUT...before I get into that all of that!
How was your Christmas?
Ours was really wonderful.
Although, I am still trying to figure out where all of the new toys are going to go.
Back to MicroMachine guy and my mind...
Do you know that on this Friday the 31st I'll have only EIGHT weeks left of this pregnancy?
EIGHT weeks of only having one child.....
EIGHT weeks left of having things pretty easy despite the fact that this one sweet child o' mine has managed to push every button I have including the ones I didn't know existed.
HOLY CRAP! If I might say. What happened between July 4th when I confirmed I was pregnant and now?
Do you also know that in 5 weeks my ONE sweet (button pushing) child will be turning TWO!
HOLY CRAP (again)! Where did my BABY and the TIME go?
Okay, okay...back to our Christmas because I'm sure you'd rather see some cute photos and not reading the words HOLY CRAP over and over again.
Here is Christmas Part 1.
On my side of the family because we are so spread out (Tucson, Marana & Queen Creek) and because we are always so busy running in opposite directions we decided three years ago now to celebrate Christmas early so come Christmas day we can spend it with our husbands, kids and in-laws. The day is about visiting, eating and of course the presents for the kids.

One gift Bug received from his Aunt Kissy, Uncle Dan, Hailey and Chase was not as a Christmas present but rather as a hand-me-down and think this may be his favorite gift of all!
I am not sure why or how it happened but my son has come to LOVE horses even though I don't think he has ever seen one in real life. He loves his new horse so much that one night he asked to sleep on it.
Where does he come up with this stuff!?!?!
The second Christmas comes in the form of Christmas Eve. There is a long standing tradition that Daddy's whole family comes together on the EVE and exchanges gifts. Just like with the first Christmas there is great food, great people and great times.
Turns out Aunt L. and Uncle S. bought the gift that not only fascinated a toddler but all the adults and kids as well. Good buy Aunt L and Uncle S.
The Third Christmas would be at our house Christmas morning where Bug, Daddy and I all swapped gifts.
Every year I have Bug, with my help of course, write a letter to Santa and leave him a cookie that we made.
Even poor Nitto was forced to get into the action
Bug's big tiger from Aunt N.
Santa and Daddy where both very kind to Mommy this year. Of course it helps when Daddy buys a really nice rifle for himself just after Thanksgiving. I wish I could show you the most awesome gift in the world but you can't really take a picture of it when you need the gift to take the picture.
Daddy scored off of craigslist a Canon Rebel XSI. I am in LOVE! Of course all my other gifts were just as great including the velour pants I wore for two days straight or the jammie pants & sweater I'm wearing now or the really cool cast iron corn bread skillets...just to name a few.
The fourth Christmas takes place at Grandma and Grandpa's house just as soon as we finished breakfast at our house.
Well it seems I wasn't on the ball and I didn't take any photos of the gift opening.
Here is one Bug took.
And here are two I took just because Bug was being cute.
The last Christmas of the day only took place because my Mom and Dad bought Bug a gift to keep at their house when he comes over. I figured it would be best for him to open it there figuring he would be more okay leaving their house without it as opposed to my parents leaving our house with his toy they just gave but took back.
Here is Granddad and Bug playing with Stinky.
Of course there can't be a new toy without Daddy getting to play with it as well.
And here I am seizing the opportunity to try out my new LOVE!
So there you go Christmas 2010! Next year we'll have two babes to celebrate it with!-HOLY CRAP!
Lots of Love-SL
