have yourself.....

a merry little christmas

 let your heart be light 

from now on your troubles will be out of sight...

this song has significant meaning to me this christmas and I'm so grateful

 for the real meaning of christmas especially this year. 

Our kids get 3 presents because thats how many jesus received... they get sock stuff-

 but the big presents they get three. 

I like that it reminds them of what's important.

 this has been my motto this christmas..try not to worry to much about other things going on in my life right now and enjoy the spirit of christmas and what its really about

 we made cookies for santa and trains were the hit thing this year for the boys choo choos everywhere

  oops we got caught stealing cookies

went to grandma and paps house for new years eve game night and family presents

 Then we  came home got in jammies put the cookies out turned the lights on the tree and tucked the kids in. this is my fav part at night just staring at the tree...reminds me of my childhood and how I would stare for hours at the lights

 I love this picture of the boys they are eating santas cookies!

christmas day we went to olds and visited Brandons family - we all played floor hockey, games had food- its low key relaxing and the kids have a blast just playing...

really I loved this christmas...just so relaxing for me.

and since I'm always taking the pictures heres me in holiday attire after a long 24 hours of partying,cooking,baking,packing the car,wrapping,cleaning,I'm excited to cuddle with johnson and watch a christmas movie.

The Boys halloween costumes came today!

So My life is crazy and as much as I love to make my kids costumes for halloween this year I know it will be a little more stressful as Im planning a party for 400 people that week.

 So off to etsy I went. I just love you etsy. You make my life easier.

 Searching for the perfect costumes for my boys- I'm over the twin matchy thing- but I still kindve like them to  coordinate soooo this is what I found

Batman and superman capes!

Brandon was thrilled and so were th boys- I like that they can wear them around the house as just play dress up stuff as well as it being their halloween costume- easy to put on and comfy

but better yet.... REVERSIBLE! 

So they can have a secret identity with their initials-

 how flippin cute is this- they are made impeccably I love them!
