Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday celebration with family and friends. I know we did! We’re certainly lucky to have such wonderful relatives and friends…my little guy got so many wonderful gifts…lots of learning items…Leap Frog Baby stuff, Fisher Price Laugh and Learn stuff…and of course, a few toys (just a few!).

Family Traditions

A long standing tradition in our house is putting up the large nativity scene. It has been up in my parents’ house for as long as I can remember. But now my mother has passed it on to me. It’s weird not seeing it in my parents’ kitchen but it is a nice touch to [...]

O Christmas Tree

Well, we finally got our Christmas tree up tonight…the house is coming along nicely…looking like a HOME…but with the snow starting to fall gently, it put me in the mood to set up the tree! We have it up on our entertainment unit so Trenton doesn’t get into it!
But, once we had the tree all [...]

Moving!

Well, we’ve moved in to our new place now! We just need to get some photos and shelves up and then it will really feel like home. Trenton is getting adjusted slowly…it may take awhile yet.
We also need to get our Christmas tree up so it will get us into the Christmas spirit! I can’t [...]
