What New Year's Resolution? Jackie wanted to remind of one I had. Something about posting once a week.....hmmmmm must be the pregnancy mind.....yep I'm going with that:)
Since January's been kind of slow I'm going to recap December-well Christmas. Oh before I forget I need to post the kids and Santa photo
We went to our bank. They offered a free 8x10 and free juice and cookies-who could pass that up? Colton was wide eyed the whole time.
The boys had a lot of fun this Christmas. We did our family Christmas before we headed out to do the big parties. We got a birthday cake for Jesus.Since January's been kind of slow I'm going to recap December-well Christmas. Oh before I forget I need to post the kids and Santa photo

The boys decorated their own tree so they thought that they should have their own presents under them. Caden put his gift from his teachers under there and then he and Colton made some pictures for us and wrapped them up. They also each decorated a plate. Caden put all of our names on it including Matthew-who he and Colton have named the baby. I feel sorry for they baby when he comes because he is going to want to know who this Matthew kid is. Colton also went around wrapping up old toys to give us. It's the thought that counts right?
Both the boys got 2 Eric Carle books. Colton loves his Brown Bear, Brown Bear. He even reads it to us at night.

Caden got his own ipod shuffle. He loves listen to our ipod so we thought this would be a good gift especially when we travel. He was so excited and happy when he saw what it was.
The Saturday before our Christmas we took the boys to Target and they got to pick out a present for us and for each other. They both had a good time doing that. I think that will be another tradition. It was one of the activities I put in the advent stockings.
Colton was more into unwrapping this year. He finally understood what was under the paper.
They both thought their football slippers were cool. Colton's were too small and I have yet to take them back. Oh well I guess baby boy number 3 will enjoy them!
I caught Colton with my camera and was in the process of telling him that my camera is not for him to touch unless I'm with him and as I'm doing this I'm going through the photos he took and look what I found....I guess he wasn't the only one taking pictures when I wasn't looking....
Once at the Brauns the kids performed Away in the Manger....
Opened presents......
Reading together.....
Posing for pictures.......after I took this picture Colton said do one of our backs.....so they turned around for me.
There were many outtakes before I got one with all four eyes open!
Played with the leftover paper and ribbons.....
Hung out with family....
Woke up Christmas morning, opened stockings and spent some more time with our cousins....
Then we headed to South Dakota and opened more presents and spent more time with family.
I still have the after affects of my cold and sinus infection. I'm told that it may linger. I'm not sure if its pregnancy related or not-I'm betting it is. I had a dr. appt. on the 28th and little boy Braun is growing right along schedule. He is an active little dude-moving and kicking. He really gets going when all is quiet at night. I think he's wondering were the screaming and crying of his big brother are. It's weird how you forget the feeling of when the baby moves. Slowly rolling his way across the tummy and then power kick. I wonder how you can preserve that memory? More to come on what we've been doing in January......update in ummmm February? just kidding-I think.
