Merry Christmas!!!!

Life has been pretty hectic the past few weeks so I'm a little late posting our Christmas stuff.  I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas.  Ours was great to be able to spend it in our own home!!!  Granted, tehre werre still boxes everywhere, but we were moved in =)

Brenna's school did a Christmas program and she got to sing some songs.  Here she is sitting by her best friend, Ellie.  These 2 girls strike the same pose for every picture I ever take of them.   

Since my dad wasn't going to be in town for Christas, we celebrated with him the week before.  The kdis loved opeing their presents from Papa. 

Brenna loves to make jewelry so she got her own bead set.

The thing she was most excited for is her Ninetedo DS.  She has been wanting one for forever so of course she got spoiled by Papa and he got her one, along with a baby game and a Dora game

Ian loved his Cars fold out chair.  He wouldn't let anyone else come near it. 

He even took a nap after the festivities were done. =) 

"Creep Crawlies!!"  My dad got Ian a remote control spider that even climbs on walls and the ceiling. (I know you'll love this, Nana)

He loves this thing!! 

 Now on to our Christmas =)

Sasha even had some fun with presents.  We didn't get her any, just let her play with the paper =)

Ian loved his little cars.  That is his favorite thing, to push cars around the floor and make them go "VROOM!"

He also got a Buzz Lightyear nerf/laser gun.  He had fun shooting mommy with it =)

Brenna got a game for her didj.  I'm kind of miffed with the leapfrog company.  They came out with this new game system, the Leapfrog Didj, and then less than a year after they released it, the quite producing it and you can't find games for it.  It's a good thing when I got the game system it was for 1/3 the original price.  It's a good system that helps kids learn math and spelling while playing games.  They should have kept it up.  Oh well, that's what ebay is for huh?

Ian is always trying to help daddy "fix" stuff so he got his own tools.  Now whenever we get stuff out to hang things or fix things, he runs to get his tools to help.  Love it!

Brenna got a princess lounge chair.  She loves it!  

She also got this cute bed tent, but not even 5 minutes after we put it up, the pockets where the poles go ripped so we took it back.  Boo!!!

Jason got his Back to the Future blue-rays.  He's been wanting these movies for a while.  

All the fun tuckered our poor puppy out.

Ian trying to "fix" things.

He also got a guitar to jam out with.  Yet another thing to make lots of noise =)

We had a pretty fun Christmas.  I was glad that Santa found us at our new house.  We are all moved into our place.  Now we're jsut doing hte finishing touches.  We have our closet in our room and a doorway that needs to be finished still and then we'll be done!  As soon as everything is finished I will post pictures of our new diggs.

Our family is expanding and lives are changing!

Life is great right now!  I am so excited for the next few weeks.  We closed on a house yesterday and get the keys today.  We are doing some work on it before we move in.  We are combing 2 of the bedrooms for a big master bedroom and building a walk-in closet.  We should be moving in by the end of next week, as soon as we get all the painting done.  I will post pics of the new house as soon as I get the keys =)  

Along with a new house we have a new family member!  Her name is Sasha.  She is the cutest little thing!  Ever since we had to get rid of our dog, Harley, we have really wanted a dog.  The apartments we are living in don't allow dogs, so that's why we had to give Harley away.  He was such a sweet dog but I'm glad he has a nice family that took him.  Well, now that we are moving into our own house we got a new dog.  She is a husky mix.  She has one blue eye and one dark eye.  She is such a little cuddle bug, especially loves cuddling at your neck.  She is only 5 weeks old right now.  Her mom was hit by a car and killed when she was only a week old

 She is already saying who's the boss =)  Her favorite chew toys are ears and noses.

 This was only hours after we had her.  Jason took a nap with her. It was so cute.  He is definatley in love with this little puppy.  When he gets home he picks her up and cuddle sher before even giving me a kiss or a hi.

 Ian is still trying to figure out what to do with a puppy.  He loves dogs, but the dogs he's been around have all been big dogs like german shepherds.  He's not used to puppy nibles yet so when she tries to nibble he stands up and says "done!"  He sure loves her though.  

 I have a hard time keeping Brenna from holding her all the time.  I have a feeling that these tow are going to be best friends and Sasha will end up sleeping with Brenna a lot =)

 Ian loves to cuddle her, as long as she doesn't try to climb on him or nibble his nose.

She is such a cutie!  Her personality is starting to come out a little and I have a feeling she's going to be a spunky little thing!  I can't wait until we move in and she can play outside with the kids and we won't have to worry about keeping her quiet.  Right now, we're keeping her in the apartment even though we're not supposed to have a dog.  What's the worst they can do?  Kick us out?
