Hello everyone! This month, this year flew way too quickly! I can’t believe my son is 3 years old and hubby and I are going to have our 6th anniversary! Too fast I tell ya! Well I did really well in my spending budget, I think I even impressed the hubby! Woot! Also, I got my traditional gifts completed and mailed out on time. Plus Christmas cards! I was on fire this year! I love Christmas and giving and wrapping! Here are some presents I wrapped for some family members:
My favorite was the Dallas cowboys themed one that went to my brother in law. I think I out did myself on that one! Love it! My room of course was a disaster area during wrapping and decorating and well the holidays. Austin helped color some ornaments and help me put bows on all our presents and he even put the presents under the tree. He asked if and when we can open the presents but has been very good at leaving them alone. I have a little countdown for him to go by so he knows when it’ll ok to open the presents. I’m pretty impressed with him. Here is a picture of my messy room while I was in the middle of wrapping presents. And here is a picture of Austin coloring some ornaments.
On the eleventh of Dec we had a group kids Christmas party with the mom’s group I belong to. It was nice. Austin wasn’t enjoying himself until they broke out some plush gym type stuff to play on and then he got into a better mood. We got a family picture there too! It’s hard to get those you know?
Ironically Kevin shaved off his beard that very night so all that face hair is gone or should I say slowly coming back. It was getting pretty long for a while there. I also took Austin to see Santa this month of course and that didn’t go well but it never does. I think the picture turned out ok. I hope he’s not scared of him next year to at least stand by him or give him a high five or something! I understand though. Weird old stranger with red and white clothes with this crazy white beard and you’re forced into his lap! Yuck! Austin talks about it all the time though after, how he got a candy cane and saw Santa. So silly! 
Every week this month Nana Geri (Kevin’s mom) sent Austin a Christmas themed Dallas Cowboys postcard in the mail. We would give it to him and he would shout, N-A-N-A, NANA! And then A-U-S-T-I-N, Austin! After we would read the postcard, he would have us put it on the fridge. I scanned the postcards for scrapbooking purposes of course. They are just too cute! I did the cowboys for our Christmas tree and I wish I could be in Dallas or somewhere in Texas to be able to get more Dallas Cowboy Christmas stuff! The wrapping paper and the postcards and the ornaments, soooo uber cute! Here’s my favorite:
A few Holiday events I force the family to do this month was to take them to see some Christmas lights, and see a gingerbread village. Austin uh, may have broke a chocolate light pole. Heehee! This is also where we found out Austin was terrified of Nutcrackers. The hotel that had the gingerbread village had these two 6 foot tall nutcrackers on display by an entrance and well he wasn’t having it. I did film him walking (more like running in terror) by them but I’ll post that later since this is already super long!
This village was massive! And has a live webcam!
Well to finish this off I’ll end with a note of thanks for everything this year and hope all is well with you and your loved ones. And see ya, hear from ya, or write to yall next year! Merry Christmas!
