All Smiles!

What a difference a few weeks can make in a babies personality. Trace is really starting to develop his and I have to say I LOVE IT! He is such a happy baby! He is calm, snuggly, smiley, giggly! I can’t get enough! He especially loves to talk to his big brother, but I was able to catch some of those sweet, gummy smiles yesterday!!

I am pretty sure he is laughing at my un-straightened hair!

Christmas, Christmas Time is here….

This season has been so much fun to celebrate with Trenton. He is so excited about Santa and decorating the Christmas tree. He evens runs around singing Christmas songs! This year we are so blessed to have 2 sweet little angels to celebrate with. Gene and I are so amazed by both of our boys and how quickly they are growing. I feel like it was only yesterday that we were celebrating Trenton’s first Christmas!

Trenton was a super helper with the tree this year. Mommy has been very tired from all of the late night feedings for Trace, but Trenton’s sweet little smile and excitement motivated me to get the tree done! Although most of the decorations ended up at the bottom of the tree and in one spot her did a great job. A little elf must have came in over the night and moved some things around!!

How sweet putting on an ornament!

Like Father, Like Son

Both playing games on a cell phone! And I wonder why no one in this house hears what I say! Oh boy!

I love Christmas Cards

Christmas cards are so much fun. Once a year you get to design a card with your favorite family picture, put a cute saying on it and send it to everyone you know. It is the best way to keep those distant friends and families in the loop on your growing family. I love, love, love to get mail this time of year. I think every Christmas or Holiday card shows the individuality of the person who created it. I like to display all of the cards on our refrigerator in a collage. When the season is over (like around Valentine’s Day! ha) I put all of the cards we received in a BIG envelope so we can look at them for years to come!

So which design will our house choose:

Maybe this one with the Boys in it:

Or this one! A little collage of our year!

Or even a simple photo card!!

 

Shutterfly has always been my go to place when it comes to holiday cards. I even like to make photo books, thank you cards, birthday invitations or order my regular prints. The possibilities are endless. This year in addition to the holiday cards I am making a calendar for the Grandparents. What better way to say I love you from the grandbabies then to have a calendar of them the whole year!!

 

Hurry over to Shutterfly to get your free gift just for blogging!
