Merry Christmas !!!!!!!

AWWWW .. What fun are kids at Christmas time... After the kids got up about 7:30am .. We went into the living room and Sage just stared .. He came Santa came mommy and daddy.. Look!!!!!!! then he had to ck and see if he drank his milk and ate his cookies, and wanted to see if the carrots at been eaten also.. So we went on the porch and sure enough the carrots were nibbled all over the porch and sidewalk and down the drive way and the sleigh and rain deer dropped a reign and a bell ..wow.. Sage couldn't believe his eyes.. So we come in and he dug in ... He loved tearing open paper LOVED IT.... its so different this year than last .. he really go into it big time. After he opened something he would hand it to us and say put it in my my pile then after about the 5th gift he said put this in my BIG pile.. I got a bigger pile than sissy.. I have mow.. ha ha Sissy jumped right in and played all over her new toys ..... Santa couldnt wrap a lot of hers cause they were just to big so he was nice enought to put them together and sit them out.Sage got of course tractor trailors, wheelies, a school bus tent, leap frog leapster, 2 games, wackamole, memory, books, candy, wallet, mac mega blocks(he loved) , 3 movies, I think i forgot some sorry, Marli got a step 2 push car that we can push her in, a pull up table to play on that helps her learn her abcs, books, blocks, a choo choo, a playwall, tunnel, a babydoll, barn, etc.... Wes was good to me like he always is when its gift giving time. thats why i fell for him. just kidding but he really is a good shopper and gift giver.esp after our 5 yr anniv when i got my anniv wedding band. so he said he couldn't top that but he hoped i loved everything. I got an Ann Klein watch, a visa gift card to wheir I want, :) 2 frames, necklace, earrings, 600 thread count sheets that i have been wanting,renewed my xm radio in my car yay..,, and 2 pair of shoes, ok funny story about the shoes, well 1 pair of them. I have been looking for a tall pair of black boots to wear with my dresses and capris but i havne' tfell in love with a pair yet or had time to go lookin, well he tried but i opened them and and i couldn't help but laugh and he said you said you needed tall black boots but unless i worked on the, corner somwhere in charlotte then I wont be wearing these around her unless it behinds our closed doors. ha ha they look just like hooker boots they are shiny black and the tallest heel you can get. ha but he said i thought you might not like them I thought htye looked hookerish. but i didn't know they had a million diff black boots out there. poor thing .. its the thought right. He is boring he told me some ideas of things he needed or wanted so I got him the oh so wonderful pressure washer. how boring huh? he loves that stuff ... After we opened gifts Wes cooked us a very nice breakfast.. Sausage, bacon , eggs, toast, grits, liver mush, good hubby huh? Daddy came over and ate with us and played with the kids.. they love their pawpaw.. he calls them peadab and pebbles.. since the day they were born that their pawpaw nick names.. After our almost a whole day at home we got ready and went to the Howards side for food and fellowship.... I love seeing all my cousins.. Kelly just had a baby and so their was a newborn to adore, Renee is prego so baby boom time again.. Marli was everywhere and Sage was just as wild as can be... I think he is deaf cause he don't listen to me.. :( the 3's are gonna be a lot worse than 2 I felt we accolmplished the 2's really well... He leared well , know how to count to 10 then goes to 11teen.. yes he made up that number. ha know's his abc really well except l,m.n o p.. he just says na na p.. sooo cute. spells his name, knows his phone number, knows where we live, our names, but goodness he is almost 3 and doesn't hear a thing we say and is acting stubborn.. I love him to death and he is the cutest most precious boy to me but everyone warned me aobut the 3's .. I think there right.. He loves to argue facts with me about thats hot sage. no its not mommy its cold. doing it just to drive me crazy and says I am so funny ain't i mommy.. what do you say.. when he is lookin at you with that smurk that is adorable.. ha over all Christmas was great. Marli's first and Sage's 3rd one... I cna't believe it.. Time flies.. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Twas the Night before Christmas ......

Christmas Eve... Where do I begin? First~ The kids have really snotty noses and bad coughs so that stunk but they acted like they felt okay every one has had or has this mess. We woke up and got ready to go to Gigi's and Poppops house (wes's parents) in Shelby. We did lunch and then Pop Pop read the Bible story and we wore necklaces with bells that were made and rang them and said we believe ... The kids loved this. Sage and Ryan couldn't wait. Sage is almost 3 and Ryan will be 4 this month. They were too funny. Sage wants to copy every thing Ryan does.. I mean everything. Sage doesn't care for sweets like cake etc but Ryan got choc eclair and so Sage wanted some so instead of starting an argument of wether he liked it or not I just let him see for himself. He said Ryan I don't like dis... Ryan said just makbelieve you do and eat it like me.. We died laughing.. Kids are so funny.. esp Ryan he is like an adult trapped inside a kids body.. After we ate we started with gift.. Talk about gifts.. This is a family with 7 children with husbands and wives and kids now.. there was noroom to walk literally... no where... We passed out gifts and watched the boys first... The boys got their first radio flyer scooter they loved them... They loved tearing into wrapping paper LOVED IT WAY TO MUCH.. I couldn't tell what all Sage got until they were done and I could look.. ha .... He got that scooter, a wilson baseball backpack with a leather glove and ball, a real tool set with REAL tools (I am nervous but sage loves it) .. , pj's, cloths, a metal dooly truck with a horse trailer loaded with horses and cows, a john deere tractor, books, games etc.. I cna't remember it all.. Marli got stuffed animals , a push toy she can ride on, a game for the tv by leapfrog, cloths, pj's , etc.. This was her first Christmas eve so that was special. Wes's sister Shelley is 5 mths prego and thats really neat that well have a new baby next year too for its first Christmas .. She finds out Jan 2 what the sex is.. We are just toooooo sad that her and Alex live in Texas.. like 2 days worth of driving away.. SUCKS!!! This was wes's brother JJ and Jens first Christmas as husband and wife. SWEET!!! Wes's grandmother Mama Happy flew her from TN to be with all of us this year.. We usually go there sometime in Dec so that was nice having her here with us.. After we left there around 4:30 we had to be at my mommas and Joels at 5 for early supper . We did Italian to change it up some ... We chose 5 so we could eat , open gifts play and get home at a decent time to bake cookies, wrap , and get ready for Santa. So we ate at mommas, then opened gifts Sage got his dump truck he has been wanting.. and some more wheeley to play with .. he loves those things.. pj's,dale earnhardt jr tractor trailor , Marli got pj's , a beautiuful piggy bank , a leapfrog toy with farm animals, a robe, ... We played then headed home .. Sage and I baked Santa some greatly decorated cookies with red and green m&m's ... Sage was just to excited.. Put out carrots for the raindeer then he decided to put out water for them too.. cute huh? We wrote Santa a letter and put it at the fire place with the cookies and milk. Sage had to test the milk and cookies too :) then I took some pics before bed of them in their Christmas Pj's and off the bed they went with a nice Christmas story... their asleep wonder whats Santas doing.. :)

Oh goodness since Halloween .. Where do I begin so I will scatter this out and hopefully after Christmas I can be a good blogger again.. Sorry! Let's see! November~ Thanksgiving was great and the little baby Georgia Hope I will be keeping was born on Nov 27.. She is beautiful. I can't wait to be her nanny, I am very excited and happy / sad about leaving my job of over 8 years .. I wont miss working but I have become close with a lot of ladies and guys at GMAC. I love crunching numbers it makes my day go by fast . But being a Mommy is much better I will be crunching diapers, bottles, poop, pee, spitup, marli falling everywhere trying to walk now, sage being almost 3 ( and boy can they learn to back talk at 3) wooo hooo.. 2 yr old was nothing I dont' think to that mouth at 3 yr old.. I have got my hands full but he ain't never been calm.. He is wide open wild 24/7.. Anyways so putting in my notice felt awesome.. Went to hollywild zoo to see christmas light and feed the animals and I had as much fun as Sage and Marli ... I love Christmas time its my favorite. Love it! I love that our family is so big and so close that we all still get together.. I love everything about Christmas.. I love that sage sings Jesus Happy Birthday! Rogers CD got released and he did chose my pics and that tickled me pink. I have had so many people tell me how proud they are .. That makes me happy to hear.. NOthing big just a hobby I love but hearing compliments is nice. Thats what your supposed to do right when someone does a good job at something? so it feels nice. Cousin Brett got married to Heather and it was a beauiful wedding. Talked more with Bryan about his land and getting married but it was nice to catch up with cousins.. Marli now has 7 teeth and 1 on the way .. She is one handing it around furniture.. She is growing up way to fast. Tonight we did Christmas with the Hughes.. They came over for Pizza and gifts. So much fun! Sage cannot wait for HOHO .. (neither can me or wes. ) ha ... Well heres some pics to catch you up!
