Santa came early!

Since we are going to be visiting our families over Christmas, we had to find another time to open our presents. We were going to wait until after we came home, but thought we might be too tired out after unpacking to really enjoy it. So, we decided to have Christmas at our house this weekend. Ben going after the best part...the bow :).
Ben opening one of his presents.

He got the Little People-Noah's Ark. He had fun playing with all the new animals. He was a little frustrated with the ark at first. I think he has it figured out better now.

Opening some stocking presents.

He got some new books in his stocking. He LOVES to read books. He has us read the same ones over and over...until we go crazy!

Yah Santa! Looks like fun! I wish we could do Christmas early! It's always so much fun as the kids get older and the excitment grows! :0) I'm excited for this year! We have that same Noah's Ark and I remember the kids really liking it! Looks like fun! Can't wait to see you in a few days! We don't have any snow here, so the kids are looking forward to some sledding up north....and maybe snowman building! :0)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
