Sweet Big Sister

I was laying in the closet playing with Blair and her Jungle ball toy and she suddenly started talking about "baby sister."  She lifted my shirt up to see.  She started cuddling it by laying her head down on my belly and giving it kisses.  She then started giving it the balls to play with saying, "baby sister likes balls."  It was just so sweet that she initiated it on her own, and was willing to share!  She has been talking a lot more about "baby sister" lately and giving mommy lots of love kisses on the belly, I just love it!  We will see if it keeps up when she is actually here! haha

Wacky Tacky Take 2

When invited to a friend Luke's 4th birthday party at Wacky Tacky, I thought, "we should probably skip it" since she freaked out so much last time.  Then I decided to go ahead and give it a try and am so glad I did!  She had daddy with her this time which meant she wasn't held back by the preggo mama and daddy climbed in with her for everything.  He also just puts her in and doesn't give her time to get nervous so that worked out better and she had the time of her life!  Mommy did end up getting in a little bit as far as she could.  She also got her face painted for the first time.  She was so brave! She had pizza and cupcakes so she was a happy camper!

 

Christmas Day 2012

We had plans to have breakfast with Grandpa Cliffy on Christmas morning so he arrived at 8:30 and we were all awake... except for Miss Blair.  Since she was up all night she slept in until 10!!!  Finally she woke and she was so excited to run down the hall screaming Santa when Daddy told her.  She got a little nervous when she came down the stairs and saw everyone watching her (Nana and Uncle Bill too).  She went over and didn't quite know what to do. She finally found her trains. 

 

Look inside, there is more!

She opened lots of gifts. 

 Finally it was the last one for Nana and Daddy to bring out Nana's present.

 A kitchen! 

We didn't get to play long because the morning was already flying by and we had to get ready to go to Great Poppa's house.

The kids played, both Landen and Blair had new trains.

The little kids opened presents first, Blair got a new Trike from Great Poppa, she is going to love it!

 

Great Poppa got a new calendar of Blair and Graham.  It has pictures that are from the previous year in that month. 

I asked Blair to go sit on Great Poppa's lap and thought I might have to fight it since she didn't want to stop playing and doesn't like her picture taken but she ran right over and climbed up. She just loves him. 

Great Grandkids...

Christmas Eve 2012

We went over to Mimi and Papa's for Christmas Eve.  Nana joined us there and Great Grandpa Walt along with the rest of the gang.  Unfortunately due to snow Great Grandma and Grandpa Evoniuk were not able to join us. 

Blair played right away buy herself for a while at the art table.  Then Papa joined her for a tea party.  It pretty much melts everyone's hear to see Papa sitting at the little table with her playing tea party.  She just loves to play with him!

We had a delicious dinner as always.  Notice Blair is just barely peeking out! haha!

About to open a TON of gifts.  We did a homemade gift exchange this year (well the ladies at least, the boys did a Giants themed exchange) and everyone did such a wonderful job; I was so impressed with all the perfect gifts!  When we were passing out gifts and Blair was helping someone gave her one and said it was for baby sister.  She came up to me and lifted my shirt and tried to shove it under... it was SO cute!

 

Blair sort of enjoyed opening gifts but really didn't like the fact that she couldn't play with all of them right then.  She is a really good unwrapper though and gets every little piece of paper off.  Then it was immediately, "open" along with a fit if we said no.   We did open a few for her to play with, including this bowling set.

I made Graham a quiet book and this was one of the finger puppets.

Great Grandpa Walt and the grandkids.

and sometime that night... Probably when Blair was up from 1-4:30 keeping everyone including out houseguests awake from her excitement!  I thought we had a few more years before she was so excited she couldn't sleep.

 

Blair found this in the morning... To be Continued...
