Sister of Mine-This post is for you....
I know I am a terrible blogger. In fact, I'd guess I am the one of the worst, yet I know of one (just one) who hasn't blogged since New Year 2009 and so I haven't yet given up on blogging. But my sister (we'll just call her Kim) reminded me how bad I am at it and practically demanded a post out of me. Well here it is. And just for the record "Kim", you don't even blog!
So Christmas has come and gone. I was refusing to do a letter this year, but at the last minute we took a couple pictures of the kids and sent them out. I didn't want a family picture this year because I for one do NOT like to document my large pregnancies.
Christmas Eve was at the Bringhurst's this year. Normally, all of Kade's cousins are involved, but this year it just worked out that it was just Kade's and Neisha's families at his parents house. So, we have the only girls which dictated that Laynee was Mary and Addy got to be an angel. It was nice to see Addy as an angel for awhile. That kid has spunk!! They all played their parts well and love that Grandma has great costumes to use. Christmas morning was fun too. I try to regulate my picture taking so that I am not too far behind in my scrapbooking--since I never scrapbook. Grandma and Grandpa Lemmon came over and watched the kids open presents and then we got to go and have a big breakfast with Kade's family. Of course everyone got spoiled and loved it!
Addison just looked cute. She is really fun to just watch. She is always hopping, skipping or jumping wherever she goes. She likes to pull funny faces at people and it's hard to catch her on camera with a normal smile right now.
I attempted a sewing project for Christmas this year. I saw really cute kid aprons at the What Women Want Expo but they were $18 a piece and I (dumbly) figured I could make them instead. It was a painful, slow process--which Laynee caught me in--but they turned out ok. The $36 might have been worth it in the end..maybe.
Just another cute picture of Addy. I think we go in spurts with pictures. Sometimes there are a lot of Rhett, then Laynee, then Addy. I count them all just to be a fair mom-right!!In other news, I had a last ultrasound a couple days before Christmas and the doctor says I can now be considered a "normal" pregnancy. Laynee got her ears pierced yesterday. She wanted to so badly, but was just sobbing. We kept telling her she didn't have to do it, but she really wanted to. Yesterday Addy was potty training for about six hours. Remember the spunk?! I can't handle it at 10 months and 6 weeks pregnant, give or take a little. And, Rhett went ice fishing with Kade and Doug on Kolob today and caught two fish all on his own. He out-fished his dad!! We won't soon forget that either!
