Pancakes and Pajamas

This past weekend we had Aiden's "friends" party. I wanted it to be very low key, so I decided on pancakes and pajamas. I thought it would be nice to have it in the morning so it wouldn't ruin the rest of the day and the kids could just come straight out of bed!

It was so much fun that I think we will make it an annual tradition for his birthday since options are so limited in the winter!

 

We had donuts instead of cake!

 

It was so much fun, can't wait until next year!

weekend shenanigans

My weekend actually started on Thursday so we could soak up as much family time with Aunt Boo (Sarah) and Aunt Gigi (Angie). Aiden came down with what we thought was the flu on New Years Eve but his test came back negative. So there were lots of snuggles and TV watching for us as the ball dropped. Well before the ball dropped, I think we were all passed out by 10:00 pm!!

 

 

 

Ava playing with Boo and Trixie!

 I really don't know what I'm going to do with this child. She climbs on EVERYTHING. Aiden skipped this phase because he was such a late walker. It's hard, really really hard keeping an eye on her 24-7. She climbs on tables, stools, chairs, pretty much anything she can get those little legs hiked up on! When you tell her NO she just laughs so hard.

 

(BTW, she wears Aiden's old PJs. I hate spending money on stuff she is just going to sleep in. It drives my sister in law crazy!! Ha! I would rather spend that on more MJ!)

 

Learning to drink from a straw. She is such a big girl now!

 

Saturday Aiden was feeling better so we took a family trip to cracker barrel for breakfast.

 

I was suppose to go to Nashville with my mom and sisters for the weekend however since the kids were sick I didn't want to leave Ryan alone with both kids so that night I got to eat at my all time favorite place!! It was so yummy!!

 

Sunday we had a little tea party before going to SAMS club.

 

(just in case anyone is wondering he isn't suppose to be sitting like this and I'm sure his OT/PT and my sister would flip out but I made him fix his legs right after I took this pic!)

I'm so happy about my SAMS find. I had no idea they sold mudpie. Check out these two outfits I got. I'm in love! It's not the best quality and I'm for certain its made special for SAMs but who cares. It's cute and each were only $16.

 

THREE

 

My precious little baby boy is three years old today. I can't believe how fast time flies.

You are so lovable but can be so wild at the same time. You have so much energy and are all boy. You love trains, tractors, fire trucks and cars. You have such the imagination and love to pretend you are a doctor and play kitchen. You love to read and are obsessed with Mickey Mouse. You hate to be told No and can throw one heck of a tantrum. I love everything about you and you are perfect in my eyes! Happy 3rd birthday Aiden Pearce! Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas part 2!

Here is a recap of Christmas round five and six! But is feels like round fifty six. I am tired, the kids are tired and our house looks like toys r us blew up in our living room. However, it was so much fun and the kids got WAY more then they ever needed and we are so grateful! We actually have one more round on New Years day with my dad (AKA Dude and Grammy). We also celebrated Aiden's third birthday last night with family.

As usual get ready for picture overload

"Christmas morning" at Mimi's.

 We celebrated Christmas morning at Mimi's on Dec 28 since Aunt Boo didn't come home until after Christmas. The kids must have been really good this year because Santa visited Mimi's also!

Ava's first Danielle Steel book :)

 

Mom always gets us matching PJ's to wear Christmas Eve! Aren't we just so cute!

 

Later that night we celebrated Aiden's birthday at Nanny's. We ordered Pizza and opened more presents.

 

 

 I'm so in love with her necklace!

 

 

Now I need to get this house put back together! Hope everyone had a great holiday! We missed all of our family we didn't get to see but we love you and hope to see you soon!
