Making Christmas Memories

We had a fun Christmas/Busy weekend this weekend.

Friday- I grabbed Grayson from school, got baby donuts and then went and grabbed Lib and B so that they could all go to a movie at the library with Aunt Halli. I picked them (love having the van that they can all fit in!) dropped off some mail at the Post Office and then we headed to pick up Michael and make our way to Aunt Halli's work. We dropped off the kiddos and then headed to get fingers and fries from Ed's ( a local dive bar with the best finger/wing sauce ever) we went home and ate way to much and just relaxed. Grayson spent the night at GiGi's house after the movie so I got some good solid sleep.

Saturday- My Mom clock had be up at 6:30. It seems that I can't sleep past 7 anymore so I just got up and got to work on laundry. I changed all the sheets on the beds and washed all the clothes and put them away! That is a huge thing for me because sometimes we live out of baskets for weeks days before I put them away. Grayson came home and then Michael and then we got to work on building Grayson's dresser for his room. We took a break for dinner and then finished up the frame before calling it a night.

Sunday- I decided to have a fun day with Grayson. We make an Olaf cookie and I forgot to take a picture before we dug into it ha! But this is the pan I used

and I got it at Bon-Ton for $3.00 so it was for sure worth it. But I linked to it on Amazon here

Then we had nap and watched our Bills lose again, just heartbreaking. After dinner we finished the dresser and got all this clothes put away and organized then we decorated our Gingerbread house. I bought this one and it comes already put together which I loved and we just had to decorate.

His favorite part:having Daddy squeeze frosting in his mouth.

We did baths and bedtime and then Michael and I watched the 30 for 30 on ESPN about our Bills and the Four Falls. Ahhh so close but never got here for the big Superbowl win. But the only franchise to go 4 times in a row. Now our city says just one before I die and that is what we are all hoping for. Tim Russert (who was born in Buffalo) said in the film being a Bills fan is a way of life and you can only understand that if your from here and it's true we live for our Bills through it all, even the wide right.

Now we have a busy week coming up. Grayson has his school party, and we have Christmas with my brother on Saturday and our cookie baking on Sunday. Here's hoping my pregnant body keeps going strong just until the New Year!

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets! Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
