Christmas Morning 2008-Make sure to watch the video!

I think the video says it all. I think she was a little overwhelmed she did not know what to think about all of the toys. She just kept saying "I can't belive Santa brought all of this" So cute!

Merry Christmas!

Sam had so much fun on Christmas eve. The day started out a little rough but once we got to Mimi and Grandad's she started being good again. She was very anxious to open gifts. She got so many great toys. Dress up from Aunt Whitney and Uncle Ryan, Baby doll set from Mimi and Grandad along with a monkey and plate making art set. She also got a dora purse and memory game from Aunt Christie. She decided to name her baby doll Christie. When we got home she had to immediately get outside to spread her "reindeer food" on the lawn. They gave it to her at school. She went with daddy over to the neighbors house to let the dog out and then came in and wanted to get to bed. When I got up there and read her a story and tucked her in she was so tired she said "Mommy don't tell me you love me, night night sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite, or sweet dreams. Just go! " She was so tired she didn't even want to talk. hahahaha

More Yuletide Cheer! Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

A little Holiday Cheer!! :-)

So Sam has really been getting into the holiday spirit the past two weeks. It all started last weekend she spent the night with Grandma and they went to see Santa, decorated the Christmas tree, and built a gingerbread house. She had such a blast.

Then this weekend she went with Mimi and Grandad to the children's museum to see Santa and the winter wonderland. I guess she had so much fun when they brought her home she was asleep in the car and I carried her in and she slept on the couch for 2 hours.

When she woke up we went over to Mamie's house to see the new kitten Fraidy Cat and baked cookies. Sam was covered from head to toe in flour and Mamie and I were so mad that neither of us had a camera to get a picture of it.

Thank you to all of the grandparents for spreading Christmas cheer with Sam. She has had soooooo much fun!

A-Town family Christmas is a tradition we started 3 years ago. We (me and all of my friends from highschool)all get together and the kids exchange gifts. They absolutely love it and the parents have a blast too. As you can see from the pictures they all love it!!!

Katie/Kate Alexandra Wins!!

Well Kate Alexandra won the vote over Alexandra Kate and Sarah Alexandra. We still have not officially named her that, but that is what Sam and I are pushing for. For now she is just "Baby Sister."

getting ready to go to Jenson's b-day party

Last weekend Sam started her weekend with her Friday night trip to the pizza place and ice cream after. Saturday she went to gymnastics and then to Jenson's b-day party. Then she went to play with her friend Taylor. Needless to say it was a busy weekend. Thanksgiving weekend was fun and busy too. We started out with a trip over to Aunt Linda's, then over to Mamie's house. Friday we had Thanksgiving at our house with Grandpa Bob's side of the family which is when she is playing guitar hero. Saturday we put up Christmas decorations all day Sam loved helping put up the tree. Sunday we went to visit Santa at the mall (Sam only got an arms length away from Santa to get her candy cane and tell him she wanted baby doll stuff). We then went over to Mimi and Grandad's house for lunch and Sam got to help Mimi make rice crispy treats. Right now as I'm typing this Sam is getting all of the clothes out of my closet and telling me that I can only wear them if I'm good. If I'm bad she said I don't get to wear anything. Now she is putting all of my clothes on and taking them off and saying she is done modeling. Hey......whatever keeps them busy. I will have a large pile of clothes to pick up later. :-)

Sam's having a little Sister!!

We found out on Monday that it is officially a girl. Sam is so excited she has already named the baby. She is telling everyone at school that she is naming the baby Ella Bella after her friend at school. Right now we are between Sarah and Katie with the middle name Alexandra. I like Katie the best. I posted a new picture over in the left column. She is sucking her thumb and her foot is all the way up by her head in the picture. Everything measured healthy and that was the most important part!!!!! I also posted some new pics of Sam below. In the second picture Sam is wearing her mask and head band that Jennifer and Mike mailed to her. She loves it. Thanks Jenn and Mike!!!

Her friend Cali from school and her friend Taylor. On Sunday she went shopping and painted pottery with Mamie, Aunt Whitney, and Uncle Ryan. She had a great time and needless to say she has slept great all week!!! :-)
