Life at this moment

Things have been going a little hectic lately, but great all around. I turned 21 a few weeks ago. It was the best birthday I have had in a long time. Rory woke me up early and had me get ready. Than, we he took me on a shopping spree, $500 limit! During shopping, he surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of red roses and holly berries. They were so pretty! Than, he took our family to dinner at Tepenyaki. It was a great day. I am so thankful for him. He is my best friend and my better half. I love him so much.

Blaire is rolling everywhere and talking about everything. She learned how to say mama and dada in the same day. She can scoot around, and almost crawl. She can pull her self up to stand. She weighed 17 pounds and was 26 inches at her last appointment. She is a sweet heart. Logan can make her laugh so hard. They both adore each other. 

Logan can sing the ABC's all the way through and can count to ten. He knows his shapes and colors. He can full conversations with us. He is a little genius. He is also a little comedian. He can make us laugh so hard.

We took Logan and Blaire to the bounce house a few nights ago with a friend and his two kids. Logan had so much fun. It was definitely a work out, but we all had a blast!

Today is Christmas eve. Logan is stoked about waking up tomorrow. Tonight we will let him and Blaire open their Eve present. We got them a set of pajamas, a Christmas movie and some hot coco. We decided to do this as a tradition every year.

Logan and Blaire will be having a great Christmas tomorrow. They both got extra spoiled. They deserve it so much.

Rory and I have also started a tradition this year of choosing one person to help out around Christmas.

A woman on my FB page gave birth at 26 weeks. Her son is lucky to be a live, but he also has a lot of complications. He was able to come home last month. He was born the same day Blaire was. She mentioned how she was struggling with Christmas, due to medical bills and gas from driving to and from the hospital. We sent her a $100 gift card to Walmart. It wasnt much, but it made us feel good and she was appreciative. Next year we hope to do $150.
 I am thankful my husband is such a caring man. It was actually his idea, and I am so glad he was all up for it. I think it is a great thing to instil in your children. The act of giving.

Tonight we are all going to Buca Di Peppo with my family. I am so excited!
