Leavitt Christmas Party

We got to celebrate Christmas with Jordan's family this last weekend and we had so much fun.  It was so great to see everybody and we enjoyed some FANTASTIC soups, exchanged gifts and just got to be together as a family.  The kids had a lot of fun and Tobi really enjoyed opening his presents.  I think this is the first year in a while where I've truly enjoyed the holiday season.

Coates Family Party

We got to celebrate Christmas with my moms family this weekend and we had so much fun.  The food was great and Santa came to visit with all the kiddos!  Tobi was SO excited and all the kids loved their little treat bags that Santa gave them.  Tobi was being stinker when it came to getting good pics of him with the big guy, but oh well.  I'm glad he had fun and I'm glad we are that much closer to Christmas day, I cannot wait to see Tobi's face when he gets up Christmas morning!

Family Pictures 2012

We got together with Celeste this year for our family pictures and she did such a great job, I am so happy with how they turned out.  I never know what I'm gonna get with my crazy three old ha ha!  And boy was he crazy, he was running around all over and being silly...it was definitely quite the process getting our pictures done and I'm so grateful Celeste had the patience to deal with it.  I'm always nervous that he's gonna be terrible on picture day and luckily the last couple of times we've done pictures he's been pretty good.  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot...

Two months!

Grayson is TWO months old now and such a little cutie pie!  We just love his cute little personality and he makes us laugh all the time.  He has the cutest little grins and we're starting to hear him laugh now too.  He is still sleeping amazing through the night and is becoming a lot more aware of his surroundings.  Tobi is becoming more curious about him and is interacting with him a little more than usual, I love to see that and I'm so glad we haven't had any jealousy issues.  I have two of the greatest boys ever!

Our Thanksgiving

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!  We got to spend it with Jordan's family at his mom's house.  The food was so good and it was so much fun spending time with family.  We even got to see Rachel and Charlotte for a little while which was an unexpected surprise.  And of course it was great to see Kelly and Tyler too, we just love their gorgeous little girls!  Grayson was a little fussy but we handled him pretty well and Tobi had a blast playing with Kendra and Abby.  I'm so thankful for so many things this year, my wonderful husband, my two handsome little boys, family, employment, food for our tummies....I could go on and on.  We are so blessed and I'm so happy to have had such a good year so far.

Rachel and Lottie's party

This last weekend we went to Sean and Brynn's house to celebrate Rachel's third birthday, and Charlotte's first birthday.  Tobi was so excited, he LOVES birthday parties, and it was so fun seeing the kids and watching the girls do their gifts.  Kelly let Tobi help Charlotte open hers which was very nice of her, Tobi loved opening her presents for her.  Rachel was cute too and I'm so glad she loved the Minnie Mouse toy we gave her.  Tobi wanted to steal it for himself!  I'm so glad we got to celebrate with them.

Happy Birthday Rachel Roo and Lottie Lou!

Tobi's Curious George Party

We had Tobi's birthday party this last Saturday and he was so excited, it was all he talked about for days.  He kept asking me if all his fun friends were gonna come and eat birthday cake with him, and sing the birthday song, and then he was gonna open presents.  It was so cute to see how excited he was for his party.  We got to the church and quickly set everything up, in typical Stephanie style, we were running quite late....the next time people offer to help me I am saying yes to them all!  We did have a few bratty moments where he threw some fits, but aside from that it went pretty good and he did have a lot of fun with his friends and family.  I decided to do a pinata again because the kids seem to really love it, and again it was a big hit.  It was so cute to watch the really little ones do it, especially my nephew Ben, he is such a riot!  We did cake and ice cream, and of course Tobi opened his presents.  We did a book party so most of his gifts were books, he did still get a few toys from people which made me glad because I was worried he'd be disappointed with all the books.  He loved it though and seemed excited about everything he got.  I am so grateful to have such loving and supportive friends and family.

Thank you to everyone who came to support Tobi on his special day!
