Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas Eve and morning here at home. Our home in Spring Texas. I wanted to start our own traditions and be here for Santa and it was so great! We love our family in LC but it was so nice missing all the craziness which usually involves 6 stops in less than 48 hours. This momma won't be doing that with two kids! We woke up and cooked Beignets and opened gifts. Emery was so fun and I can't wait until next year when she knows more of what's going on. We headed to LC around Lunch for one night and came back Monday. It was a quick trip but it did the job of seeing the family. Next year I think we will travel in town for Thanksgiving and Stay home for Christmas....... Here are some pictures from our Christmas. Hope yours was as great as ours! We are so blessed :)

Market Street and Santa take #2

Sunday night we went to Market street and my plan was to look at the lights and soak up some family time. Emery was too busy to sit in her stroller and enjoy the lights so she did a lot of running around with daddy. It was such a nice night! They even had two beautiful horse drawn carriages with these pretty white horses and even a mini one with a white pony to pull the little ones. But there was no way Emery was getting close to those animals.

Today we went To See Santa at Mrs Rita's home. It was so fun to see everyone but no one was happy to see Santa. Well maybe one or two kids but the rest just screamed. So no super cute Santa photo this year :)

He was such a good Santa too, so jolly, even sang songs, but Emery had a death grip on me and was not about to let me set her down. It was quite humorous!

This was her ready to leave and get as far away from Santa as she could.

Then we tried a group shot. As soon as Santa sat down Emery was in escape mode.

Then she proceeded to climb over everyone to get away. Maybe next year we will like Santa???

Weekend in The Chuck

Tuesday Night Archie left with Jon to go hunt in Kansas. Three days earlier he was on The King Ranch hunting. Seems like this guy has it made right??? Anyways since daddy would be gone and we had showings scheduled for the house we decided to go to Lake Charles and headed there on Wednesday after going to a checkup for baby 2 which included the glucose test and rhogham shot. While we were there Emery did not sleep in her playpen one night. Ended up in my bed by 1 am every night which means I got NO SLEEP! So while our visit was fun I was ready to get back home to our own beds.

Emery's Lake Charles adventure:

I love to sleep in my own crib at home so while I was at Honey's I did a lot of this:

And I opened ALL of Honey's drawers while we were there.

I pushed my baby all around the house...

Cousins came to play! Ha I love this pic, Emery looks as if she's thinking "Really I'm One years old now why are you holding me Annalina? Ha Ha ha

Aunt Lisa got me Elmo rocks and I just love it!

All I wanted to do was sweep so Honey got me a broom just my size. Don't you think my skinny jeggings are the cutest things?!?

I just loved playing with Annalina and my cousins. So glad they came over to visit me!

And on the way home I was asleep before we even made it to Sulphur. At 11 am I might add. I was so excited to see daddy that I wanted to get a good nap in so I could play with him all afternoon!

And this morning I wore my new Christmas tree shirt Nana got for me :)

Oh I also developed what my mommy calls an "Attitude" Here is me showcasing that. And for mommys defense she did try and push me and pull me and I was never satisfied.

Things that Annoy me

SO I just wanted to share a few things that annoy me. Hopefully you find this humerous. I find it cleansing to write it down HA!

1) Women with Perfect hair. The ones that can wear it curly and straight and it always looks perfect.

2) Women with a perfect complexion. So envious.

3) When you have to pee sooo bad that you run to the nearest restroom and realize after you sit down that there is pee on the toilet seat, and your sitting in it now.

4) When people don't wave to say Thank You when you let them out in Traffic.

5) When watching E!, the commercials are ten times louder than the show.

6) Wal-Mart

7) Parents who smoke with their kids in the car.

8) Bathrooms with Air dryers. I am all for saving the planet and going green but when you wash your hands you need paper towels. Period.

9) People who don't use their blinkers when driving.

10) When people can't multitask (All men)

11) Skunks. They are pointless,

12) When people call the hut to ask about crawfish, say they are from Louisiana, and claim to know EVERYTHING about crawfish and when it is in season and how much it should be, and what size so and so has etc etc. Maybe you should open a crawfish hut then!

13) Unpaid Maternity Leave.

14) Washing a new article of clothing for the first time and not reading that you should have washed it on hand wash and now it is deformed.

15) Not being able to find this cute headband and bow I ordered off Etsy. I have demolished the house and cars looking for it and its no where to be found.

If I think of anymore I will be sure to add them to the list in the future! LOL :)
