Christmas Fun!

Here are some pictures of our fun times this Christmas.

Our Christmas Card picture.

One evening we spent walking around Old Sacramento
We went to Amador City which is this cute little town not far from us. They had a bunch of cute antique type stores. This is a picture of Presleigh with her uncle Devin on Santa's sleigh.

Christmas Day Presleigh and Delaney spent some time jumping on the trampoline before dinner. Isn't this picture so funny. Total action shot.

Here is Presleigh and Hadley all ready to go eat some yummy Christmas dinner. Can you see Pres' little pony tail? I can't believe she is finally getting some hair. Too bad she only lets Aunt Julie put pretties in it.

Noah with his Grandma Rhinehart. So glad I captured this sweet moment.

Here are the little ones in their matching pajamas!

Presleigh was very excited about her elmo slippers. Everytime she saw them at Target she would ask me to put them on her, and now she doesn't want to wear normal shoes.Here we are on Christmas Eve.

I love this picture of the kids. They almost look like they could be twins.

One night I found Presleigh sitting on top of her nightstand pointing at the window and I couldn't really understand what she wasy saying. Then she lifted up the blinds and I realized she was pointing at a big bright blow up santa across the street. I kept finding her in there talking about santa and sometimes he wouldn't be blown up and so she'd say "santa night night" She's so funny, and is always saying the funniest things.

The first night my family got to town our subdivision had a parade. The parade was full of people who had decorated their golf carts with Christmas lights. It was a fun little outting and Presleigh loved to see all the lights.

Thank goodness for Christmas Company.......

Well we have finally decided that it's time to move completely into our home. It's only taken us about 6 months to hang up our mirrors and shelves and other decor on the walls. I guess we started getting lazy with the unpacking because this was our 5th move in a year. Good excuse right. Our house is actually starting to feel like a home. It's much more cozy with stuff on the walls. I'm giving all the credit to my family who is coming for the holidays in just 2 days. I want my house to be pretty much how I want it before they get here, so i've kicked it in to high gear and started getting busy on organizing and decorating. Here are a couple of our (yes, my hubby has been helping me a ton) newly completed projects. This table was actually Wayne's old computer desk. I decided to give it a new coat of "vintage map" paint and make it my new sewing table. I am so excited to have my own little space in our bedroom to work on my sewing projects. Maybe now I can finish those stockings!

This is a picture of our computer armoire that we just revamped. I wish I had a before picture because this was the most hideous thing ever. We picked it up at a garage sale last weekend. Paint is a miracle worker cause this thing looks pretty dang good now. I love that it hides all of our office stuff which is a good thing because this is in our front room. The two chairs on each side of the armoire we got off of craigslist, there is actually four of them spread throughout the house and they are screaming for a coat of paint and some fun orange Amy Butler fabric. I can't wait to fix those up. That's all on the painting projects. I know you're wondering about the beautiful credenza but i'm just not ready to paint that baby yet.

Stay tuned for the rest of the painted furniture... Isn't this the most adorable picture ever. I just love this kiddo so much. This little face just tells you what a happy sweet boy he is. Just looking at this picture makes me want to go kiss his chubby cheeks right this minute!!

Snow?????

So this is what Wayne got to wake up to the morning of his birthday. I guess we brought the snow with us to California. Luckily it did not stick because not having to deal with snow is one of the reasons why we love this place. It was fun for little Presleigh to see, somehow she remembered what snow is from spending last year in freezing Utah. My little girl has a memory like her daddy.

We had a fun birthday gathering for Wayne Monday night with all of our local family and a couple friends. I think there were like 15 little kiddos running around my little home. If you can't imagine it was loud and crazy, but the kids had so much fun playing together and the adults got to chit chat a little too. This is Wayne's birthday cake which I did not make him. My friend actually made this deliciousness.

It's so nice to have friends and family to spend time with. It's been a while since we've gotten to celebrate a birthday like this and I think i've warmed Wayne up to big birthdays:) hehe. Thanks everyone for coming and helping make his day special.

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday to my sweet husband!! The Big 31!!

Look at how cute he is. I could tell by looking at these pictures that I was gonna have adorable kids!!

Thanksgiving and Random Fun

Here are some fun pictures of the kiddos.

I love this picture because it shows that her hair is actually growing.

Presleigh has been really into putting my shoes on. I'm surprised at how well she can walk in my heels. This in Noah on Thanksgiving. I love it that I can at least get him to wear a hat.

Presleigh on Thanksgiving. We had such a nice Thanksgiving this year. We spent most of the day in our pajamas and then went over to our friends house for some yummy dinner that evening.

Here's Wayne sneaking a brownie cupcake.

Presleigh sporting my shoes again.
