Every year Grana plans a Christmas party for the entire family and we had so much fun this year, it's so cute to see all the cousins play. We had Mexican food catered which was so yum and lots of fun activities for the kids. I know Grana Great looks forward to this every year. She is so thoughtful and loves to be around all her grand kids. She is so kind to get each and every kid a gift for Christmas (I don't know how she does it) and I just hope she knows how much we love her. Now, I should know how old she is but I'm not exact, I think 83...what 83yo lets their grandson push them across a gym floor on this scooter. She is full of life and has more energy than I do! Grana thanks for such a great party!
I was so excited for Christmas this year because it was our first Christmas together as a family and I was thinking Livvi would kind of be into it. Christmas Eve we went over to Suni's and had dinner and watched a movie about the Saviors birth. We had so much fun hanging out. Christmas morning Phil brought Liv down and the first thing she noticed was her baby doll. We had so much fun opening up presents and watching all her cute expressions. After that we rushed to S.L. and got to see my parents and then did dinner with Phil's family. We had so much fun and a yummy dinner. Livvi was totally spoiled by everyone and is loving all her new toys!
If Suni looks stoned that's bc she is thx to the great pain meds due to her c-section j/k, and poor Sean he looks a little retarded here, lol!
Thanksgiving was nice, simple and sweet! No stress! We decided to do it at my house since Suni had just had Averi a few days before and we had such a good time. We missed Casi and her family but we all had a good time being together. My parents came over the day before and my mom and dad taught me how make pies...it was so much fun! My dad just started baking pies (don't ask my why) but we were laughing because you would of thought he had been baking pies his entire life they way he was questioning my mom! Anyways...lots of fun memories!
I am sooo behind on my posts and it is probably because life has been so crazy. Suni was put on bed rest a few weeks before Averi arrived and we are happy to say everything turned out ok. I'm not sure how Suni did it emotionally and physically but she did and we are so excited that finally Averi was able to come home and join their cute little family. And as selfish as this sounds we are happy that Livvi can start going back over to "Nunny's" house when I go to work. I'm telling you it really threw Livvi off not being able to go to "Nunny's" for about two months boy was she rotten during that time. Her first day back she sobbed when she had to leave, I have a feeling she is spoiled rotten with lots of love and attention. I feel so bad I don't have any pictures of Averi but here is Abby and Gracie Nov 21, 2010 the morning Suni went in to have her c-section. They were so excited they could hardly stand it! They are goin to be the best BIG sisters ever!
For the past 6 years I have been working in the Cardiac Cath Lab and I love it or at least the pay check and most of the old people. I love trying to get a smile out of them and hearing all their great stories. I keep saying once this little boy comes I'm going to quit and stay home but wow I had no idea it was going to be so hard to walk away from my job. My job is apart of who I am, sad huh, I hate it and love it all at the same time! I never wanted to work, I always knew I would be a stay at home mom so why is it so tough to just...walk away!?! I have a sweet and oh so sassy little 2 year old that runs the place and I have been married to Phil for 4 years. He is hard working and a great daddy and has been so dang good to me during this pregnancy! Life is good these days!
