There is a song by Taylor Swift called The Best Day. I see the video at the gym and have to try not to watch, otherwise I turn into a puddle on the treadmill. It is home videos of her with her family and just has really sweet lyrics. The last bit is:
And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today
And today was the best day. The little boys and I ran some errands, we went to the library and picked out random new books. Then I found a calendar and saw that Santa was at a local park, we walked right up and got to see him, no wait at all. We took pictures and walked around downtown Chandler. Afterwards we went and fed ducks at the park and played. We came home and watched Yes, Virginia and it was cute. When it was done Sawyer turned to me with a big smile. Then I read them Polar Express. It was just a nice, happy day with my little boys.
The other night, about 20 minutes after I laid the boys down, I saw Sawyer run across the open doorway. I was sitting at the kitchen table sewing and he ran into the dining room. He was checking our advent calendar where I told him a little elf comes every night and leaves a Hershey kiss for him and Ollie. He's been known to wake at 6 am, go get the candy, eat it, and go back to sleep for an hour or two. After he saw that the elf hadn't come he came into the kitchen and I explained that he wouldn't come until the whole house was dark and we were all sleeping. He asked if I was going to sleep after I finished sewing. I said yes :) I told him he needed to go back to bed and he listened and started walking to his room. He turned around after a few steps and said, "Merry Christmas mom." It was just such a sweet and sincere moment. I told E that I think that moment will stick in my mind forever. Just a time where your heart unexpectedly swells with love. My sweet three year old boy in his bright green footie monster jammies turning and wishing me a merry Christmas.

Getting ready
The jury it still out. I'm deciding how Christmas will feel without cold, snow...all of it. Growing up in Colorado and Utah...then moving to Missouri, I've always had a cold Christmas. Last year we spent Christmas day in Florida, but we celebrated our own Christmas a few days before. Actually, jury just came in. It's not the same. It is still fun and exciting, people decorate their homes and everything does seem cheerier, but the whole feel is just different. Boo.
It took me a bit longer to get our Christmas set up this year, but it's finally done. To see the "pretty" finished pictures and more of the home decor stuff, I just did a post on our blog Fresh Poppy, so check it out :)

Okay okay
The Grandma's
My sweet Momma and Dad are in England (ps my dad is from England so lucky them they get to go all the time. No fair! When are you taking me to Panama E?). We've been texting a bit and my mom said that she wants me to post pics of my kids because she misses them!! So sweet. And yes, it is really sweet because she has 30+ grandkids.
And to my sweetest mom and dad in Florida that look at our blog all the time to stay connected to us, we love you guys! I am so sorry that I've stolen your son and taken him West :(
Here are some recent pics of the babies...a couple of weeks ago at a local splash pad.

Friends
This weekend one of my very BFFs Ashlie came to visit! Ashlie and I met in 2004 while working at Dillard's. She and Luke had just gotten married and E and I were married less than a year. All of us instantly became friends and did lots and lots together. We celebrated every birthday by going out to eat together, lots of trips and just so many good and funny times. And wouldn't you know it...we each have two boys, Sawyer and Cole 4 months apart and Ollie and Max 9 months apart.
Aren't they so cute?!
Miss you guys!!
