After Christmas. . .

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! The boys were so happy with the gifts they received. I think the hamster was the biggest hit. Jackson was so surprised. He screamed "I got my pet! I got my pet!" Ryan seemed a little overwhelmed. All he wanted was to open the sucker that was in his stocking. So, we put him in his highchair and opened the sucker. Sometimes it's the little things that make them happy. Michael was very surprised to get the Tom Tom, XM radio, and Oakely sunglasses. I think he had a great Christmas too.

We had lots of fun playing dirty Santa on Wednesday night. I always enjoy getting together with my dad's family. There are some real characters in that bunch!

I am glad to be home too. It's true, there's no place like home!

Christmas Week. . .

Well, Christmas week is here! And I'm so excited. I've definitely got the Christmas Spirit this week. I can't wait to go to Crossett tomorrow. I'm excited about the things the boys are getting this year. I know they will be pleased. And I can't wait to see all of the Parker family and play Dirty Santa on Wednesday night. That was so much fun last year.

Jackson and Ryan are both in Crossett already. So, I can't wait to see them too when I get there tomorrow. It's going to be a great Christmas! We have been so blessed this year.

My first blog. . .

So many of my friends have tried this, so I thought I would try it too. It's six days until Christmas, and thankfully, I am done shopping and wrapping. It's time to enjoy the season.

This has been a good year for our family. Jackson just turned six. He's in kindergarten and loving it. He's so smart! I can't believe he's six years old already. It seems like only yesterday that I was patting his little baby booty. Now, he's losing his baby teeth.

Ryan is 20 months old. He's rotten! He follows Jackson around like a puppy and wants everything he has. He talks so much too. He's precious, but definitely rotten!

Michael and I have been married for almost ten years now. We are so busy that sometimes it seems like we hardly see eachother. I'm so proud of all that Michael has accomplished in his career. And I know there are more good things in his future. He's a great husband and father.

I'm just trying to keep up with my three boys. It's a full time job on top of my full time job as a sales assistant for a regional brokerage firm. I love being a mom and wife!
