new baby picture!!

well he/she is!!  i'm pretty sure it's a boy just because i'm feeling so great and before i got pregnant i was having dreams about a little boy.  and so far i've been right on all my kids.  so the baby is in the middle of the dark part and it's head is on the right side.  you can see the hands by the head and the feet up in the air.  i was really worried about this one fore some reason.  but the doctor says everything looks fine.

i took the kids to this appointment. i'm going to a new doctor and so far it's been really great. there's a playground where the kids can play on while we're waiting in the waiting room. then there's a tv in the room. also we get an ultrasound every time we go. i'm really looking forward to that.

silly kids/hanging around the house

partyin it up for 2012!

we had a party of running around on the cutions to music.  it was very exciting and ally kept falling in front of lex and elaina as the jumped over her.  it was a little crazy.  

after that daddy and ally went to bed...very willingly.  but ally was excited to wear her party clothes. 

i didn't think lex and elaina would make it all the way to midnight.  i know i wouldn't of but they kept waking me up saying "MOM!!  WAKE UP!!"  we watched movies all the way up to midnight.  then had a toast.  as you can tell elaina just wanted to go to sleep.  but if she made it that far she could stay up for the rest of the plans.

we went outside and did fireworks and yelled happy new year.  then we saw down the street our neighbors doing fireworks and lex wanted to go down.  so on the way down they sent up to lanterns like in tangled.  it was so cool!!  and of course i didn't think to take a picture of it  :P  but it was fun.  we were all glad to get back home because it was freezing outside.

christmas had come!!

Cory and i woke up just before the kids got out of their room in the morning.  we heard someone go downstairs to check it all out.  then lex came into our room very excited!!  he said "mom!!!  the stockings have been filled!!!"  then he changed his tone.  "but yours and daddy's stockings didn't get filled becasue your on the naughty list.  see mom....i told you you were on the naughty list!!"  the weeks leading up to christmas any time lex was mad at me he told me i was on the naughty list.  so this proved it.  lolol  cory and i couldn't stop laughing.  but lex was very serious.

this is video of them checking out if the reindeer ate the food we left out for them.  i love this tradition.

lex got an angry birds game.  oh man he loves it!!  mom loves it too because he's off the computer.

allison loving her clothes she got.  she's so funny about getting new clothes.  she has to love each other of them.

elaina got her mermaid barbie she wanted.  i took a lot of videos that ended up being too long to put on here.  but here's what santa got them....
