Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Time to Catch Up

I finished my last exam of the semester earlier today, so now it's time to play catch up!

I had a happy 28th Birthday (my favorite presents: the homemade Duke quilt and the GIJoe t-shirt to match the one we got my brother for his 30th birthday)



We went to Tennessee for Thanksgiving...and both of the kids got pink eye (pretty gross)

(I told you I liked that shirt)


We have been to a few basketball games already this season.
Go Devils!



Blake fell down the stairs and busted his lip pretty badly



We put up the tree



The kids visited Santa



And we had a Happy 4th Anniversary (yummy dinner with good company! Oh, and we're going on a date to see a play tomorrow to top it off)

Oh my goodness! A Christmas Star!

Someday we intend to make our blog into a family album of sorts (since Lindsay and I are both terrible at keeping journals), and I want to make sure that we remember some of the funny things Hailey has said lately:

Last night, she was having a really tough time falling asleep, but she knows that she has to be quiet so she doesn't wake up her brother/roomate, when I got upstairs, she was laying on the floor with her face buried in her folded arms, and saying, "I can't do anything"

Whenever she sits on the toilet she tells me "I make a giant poo poo and make a baby poo poo", even when she's only going number 1. I can't figure out where this one came from (so I assume it's something Lindsay taught her!)

Continuing on the pottie theme, we often sing "The Wheels on the Bus" and add other characters or items and leave it up to Hailey as to what they say or do. For example, the daddies on the bus say..."poop on the car". Don't ask me why, but that is what the daddies have said for about a year now.

A couple of nights ago Lindsay and I put up the Christmas decorations after the kids were in bed. When I brought Hailey downstairs the next morning, she walked around the living room with her mouth wide open. When she saw the tree she put her hand to her mouth and said "Oh my goodness! A Christmas Star! I never saw it before!"
