It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Ava was four months old yesterday....and yesterday she found her feet. It's like she just never knew they were there before. I can't believe she's already 4 months old.

Saturday we went to the Niceville Christmas Parade, but we didn't stay long because it was so cold and we walked there. Husband's idea...

Here's Ava all bundled up:


Here's Noah and Daddy:


Sunday Noah had another singing concert. They called it "Christmas Hangups". It was for the children 3yrs to 5th grade, so it was really cute all around. I am the WORST videographer, but he's the one in the red, cowboy hat.

Here's Noah singing "Away In A Manger":


Here they are signing "Jingle Bells":


All I can say is, Christmas is so much better when you have children!

What a packed day.!.!.!

First, we went to get our family pictures taken for all our Christmas cards. We used Kailyn Parish (dba. k.p.photography). So super awesome! And she had the pictures on the internet in just a few hours.

Here's just a few . . .

























When we got home Steven decided he wanted to do some more work on his truck which I absolutely hate, but Noah LOVES! =0) I don't really hate it, I'd just rather he spend the time with me.



Noah is currently walking around telling everyone he's a "superhero"! Too cute. And Ava cries everytime I eat. It's not because she wants me to hold her though, it's because she wants to EAT! Three months old and she's already reaching for my food. I had initally thought I'd wait until she was 6 months old to start eating rice cereal, but maybe I'll start at 5 months instead. ;)

I walked 2/3 of a mile today, and didn't get to drink as much water, but so far I seem to be feeling better and more fit! It's amazing what a little water will do.

Today we went to Walmart, yet again, even though I promised I wouldn't return after last visits' incident with the little girl getting her ears pierced. We got most of our Christmas shopping done. We'll probably have to spend another $100 or so. We'll probably come out of it for under $500. I think in January I'll start a Christmas savings account. My mom used to do it and I think it would work for us too. Let see, $500/11. Like 45 dollars a month would give us enough for Christmas next year.

Mr. N went to hip-hop class, and then to church choir/mission friends.

I did get to drink a lot of water today, but didn't have a chance to walk my mile! Boo....there's always tomorrow.
