'Tis the Season

Here is what we have been up to this first part of December. I didn't know if having a baby right before the holidays would put a damper on the festivities, but really, I have felt more festive than ever and have enjoyed the extra time spent with Cody and my mom.






We are doing great, though we could do with a little more sleep. My mom has been here helping with the kids and has been a lot of fun (and a big help) to have around. And she is not helping me lose the baby weight as she keeps making really good homemade goodies. Luke isn't the only one gaining a pound a week.

I love your header! I didn't even notice it until I was scrolling back up to the top of the page to close it (which I do just because I'm weird) and then I thought, "Wow!" It looks great!

I'm glad you're having such a great time with your mom. Luke is adorable!

I love the picture of Morgan decorating the tree. Her sweet face says it all! Merry Christmas Brooke!

I'm glad you're having a great time with your mom. She is THE BEST!

Luke is so adorable! And everyone has to pack on the pounds at Christmas. That's partially what the holidays are for!

Looks like your girls had a great time with Grandma. I am so jealous. I want Grandma to come see us too. We really do have the best mom.

Luke is such a cutie. I bet everyone loves helping with him.

Merry Christmas!

Mom, hope you travel home safely.

I thought we agreed that you wouldn't have any fun with out me? :)

Mom is the best! It's always so hard not to cry when she leaves.

I'm glad your enjoying the season. I agree that having a new baby around makes things more fun--especially when you have older kids to make it exciting, too. That's great your mom is there to help out (and to make you yummy treats :).

By the way, Luke is adorable! He is definitley a Nelson!

I secretly want everyone to stay fat until I start to loose the weight. :) Not to be mean or selfish. But goodie that your mom is baking for you. :) And I love little Luke! I need some snuggling time with him. Cute star on the ginger bread house. How's you do that?

I'm impressed you've done so many cute holiday things for your family with a new baby. I can't believe you have a boy now! And that you have 3 kids! I love your new header! Again, where have you found the time. I had intentions of doing a christmas header, if you can find the time then I will too!
