Christmas Eve...

So Christmas Eve we ate some more and just hung out with my parents and sister. It was so nice to just relax and eat food.....I probably gained like 5 lbs this weekend.

We got so many things from my parents. There were some favorites. For those if you that know me I hate carpet but I love to vacuum. It all ties into my OCD that I have and cannot seem to get rid of! I asked for a Dyson for the whole family....And of course I got one! Yeah, thank you so much to my mom and dad they are so awesome and I love them so much.

Mike actually got the Dyson...haha. I also got this huge scrapbook set from Costco, I saw it and kept walking because I knew I would want it. Anyway, they read my mind! Thanks again mom and dad!!! I loved everything you bought me.


So Jake was so tired on Christmas Eve. Poor baby was just wanting to fall over and go to sleep. So at 7:45 my dad decided Jake would be able to open a gift every 15 minutes until 8:30 then he could just open them all. He got this cool bus that is like a little play house.....it is the cutest thing. Then he got a rocking horse and he loved it. He clapped and laughed the whole time. he also got a ton of other small toys and some clothes. He is already spoiled rotten!!!

Look at me...

I am so excited to open this! Yeeehaw! Faster Grandpa!
Then there was my husband....he bought me some LAMB perfume by Gwen Stefani and some William Rast Jeans....Yup.....he loves me :) I also got the beautiful necklace I was wearing for Christmas Eve Eve along with another one......LOVE IT! Thanks diddy!! By the way, we weren't suppose to buy one another gifts!!!


I hope Santa brought you all what you wanted!

Christmas Eve, Eve.....

So my family (Marin family) decided we would have our annual Christmas gathering on Christmas Eve, Eve.....Since it was a Sunday and then everyone could go to their in-laws on Christmas Eve. It was truly a day filled with food, fun, food and more food and fun! Almost everyone was there and it was just fun to remember what Christmas really is all about. It is not about the gifts or the food. But it is about being with your family and just realizing how blessed we all are that we are still here to be with one another.

Here are a few photos of Christmas Eve Eve!

Oh Christmas Tree........

So I put my tree up on Thanksgiving day and took a pictuer and never put it up? What a slacker I am!! I am a complete slacker on just about everything. Please don't think you are not getting a Christmas card from us because you haven't received one. We are sending out Happy New Year cards instead! We got Jake's photos done too late and so you all are getting New Years cards. Sorry.....again it is me being a slacker! Well I hope you are all ready for the Holidays and be safe out there!

We're BACK!!!!

Yes...we are back. Finally, I have updated my page per the request of Mrs. Thompson! I know I have been a complete slacker. But here I am and I am trying to remember all that has gone on in the last month. We'll Jake is now 9 months and a go getter! He is a super fast crawler and wants to take off running but cannot. He has this new thing with his tongue when he makes faces and he has two teeth.....yes I said "two." Also, Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas is on the way! I am not even nearly done shopping and it is crazy because I am way behind and need the rush of the holiday last minute shopping. And just so you know in case this doesn't make sense I am watching Grey's Anatomy but this is the only time I have to get this done. Anyhow, Jake eats 3 containers of food at each feeding and doesn't gain a pound? How is that? I think he is just one active little man. Ummmm, I am thinking what else I have to say. Jake has also learned to finally clap his hands together and not just the tops and bottoms of them. Well here are some photos that I have not posted and should have because I am a complete slacker!!! Enjoy!
