Christmas was great! This was Chase's first Christmas and our first Christmas as a complete family! It was just awesome. Christmas Eve night I put the kids into their new Christmas jammies and then Emma left a cookie and Christmas milk (that's what she calls Egg Nog) for Santa and a carrot for Rudolf. She was just so excited! She wanted some Christmas milk before bed and we had poured the last of it for Santa so Matt gave her that. Well, come morning Emma woke up and went directly to the plate. She noticed that everything was gone, then she said, "Santa took our cup." LOL!! When Matt gave her that Christmas milk he put the cup in the sink, well Emma noticed that and she thought he took our cup. It was just way too funny! So Matt told her that he probably just put it in the sink where it belonged. Everything went great. Emma opened her presents and also helped Chased. It was great!! I'm blessed.
Oh and other news. Chase has his first tooth poking thru, I just noticed it today. It isn't all the way thru, but it is there and you can feel it.

Sleep...who needs it??
I DO!! I have gotten up 3 times with Chase and then the 4th time, at 5:45am, he decided to stay up. Ugh!! I'm use to on the weekends still getting up with him in the night, but when he gets up for good, Matt gets up and and I sleep in some. Matt had to work all weekend, so I didn't get that this weekend. I am beat!
Let's see, updates.......Emma has started to show some, I repeat some, interest in the potty again. She has used it a few times this past week. Hopefully we are gonna get somewhere this time. In less than a month she will be 3, I just look at her in amazement. I can't believe she is my daughter. I feel like I am still in high school or just freshly out, but this is my 9th year out of high school. Holy flippin cow, 9 years. In just a little over 3 years I will hit the big 3-0. Age doesn't really bother me, seriously, it's just a number. It just blows my mind how fast time has flown by. It feels like just yesterday I was in high school with no "real" concerns. Now I am married with 2 kids and bills out the butt. I'm not complaining, I love my life, but man oh man where did the time go. Anyways, back to updating.
This weekend we have actually done a lot. Friday night we went and go out tree. Yes, in the very cold evening we were venturing out to get a tree. It was freezing and ended up with me and the kids in the van while Matt got the tree, it was just too cold. Then Saturday, mom and I went to a craft show. It was fun, but boy was it packed. Mom and I used to go every Saturday shopping, but now we hardly ever get out together. So, Saturday was a lot of fun. I got some mom and me time, just like we use to. Then once Matt got home he got around and we took the kids to his work Christmas party that they have for the kids. They had Santa, cookie decorating, crafts, tattoos, blow up toys and presents. Emma loved it, it was a lot of fun. She cried when she had to get out of the big blow up toys that she was jumping in. For presents, she got a care bear and Chase got a thing that he can play with during tummy time. They both love it. Speaking of tummy time, I put Chase on his tummy in front of that toy and he started bringing his knees up and trying to push himself closer to the toy. Can you believe it, he is trying to scoot around already. I'm telling ya, time is flying.
Then on came Sunday, me and the kids did absolutely nothing. Matt was at work and we hibernated. I watched a movie that was on tv called Flirting with Forty. It was a really good movie, I actually watched it twice (I have it on my DVR). Then when Matt got off of work we finally decorated our tree, which isn't completely done yet. lol We are slackers. lol Emma didn't want to put her princess decorations on the tree, b/c she wants to play with them. lol
So now it is Monday morning, I'm tired and both of my kids are up and ready to go. My nephews (who I babysit) are asleep on the couch. This is probably gonna be a long and tiring day. Tonight we have Monday night supper, so that means I don't have to cook tonight. Hopefully all the kids will take a nap after lunch and then I can catch a few zzz's. Anyways, I guess I'll try to get motivated and start my day.

Nevermind...
Remember my blog about contributing, well I do contribute. I contribute to my family in many ways every day. Maybe I don't financially, but I do by taking care of them and loving them. Matt doesn't want me to work and I'm happy right here. I told my mom that and she was so happy. She told me how I was a great mom, how my kids are turning out so well. She said Emma is just so smart and loving and Chase will sure to follow the same suit. I knew I wasn't a bad mom, but it's great to hear someone say I'm a great mom. My kids need me here with them. Heck, my nephews need me (I babysit them). My nephew Jr told me that he likes coming here and he don't like being much of anywhere but at home. Grant it there are times when I just wanna scream and pull my hair out, but what stay at home mom doesn't? I love my job and I'm staying right where I am. My place is at home, at home being a mother and a wife and I'm fine with that. I'm blessed, truly blessed!
