December

Another long post...Sorry! December was so fun we had lots of fun going to Christmas parties and teaching Blake all about Christmas, Jesus, Santa, etc. She was so cute about everything and got so excited about everything and anything we got to do! Here is a little bit of what we did...

Started out the month with our friend Christmas party! So fun. We always wonder why we only get together with our hubbies and kids once a year...

The KidsKrew, Tripp, Belle, Lily, Redd, Blakeley, Stone

The Girls :) We missed Siddoway and Sunny this year! 3 years running...for the last 3 years Jenna has managed to spill chocolate from the fountain on her shirt, which has also always been white :) We thought the previous 2 years were due to her pregnant belly at the time...apparently not! So funny I had to take a pic!

Miracles happen and dreams do come true :) I'm aware I am being dramatic but this was a long time coming...how long you may wonder...7 years...I'm so proud of my cute hubby for sticking with it and Graduating! For the last 7 years he has worked full time and gone to school. For many of those years he was going full time school and working full time to provide for our family! On top of all that he still managed to be a wonderful father and husband to Blakeley and I. He amazes me and I am so proud of him, not to mention grateful to finally move on with our lives! Here is some cute pics from his special day...

Rob had lots of sweet family members show up to support him, they also then spoiled him with graduation gifts!! What a lucky guy :)

So I wanted a picture of Blakeley in front of the tree with her cute Christmas Dress...well I should have been more specific about wanting a "happy" "smiling" "sweet" pic of her. Oh well we will take what we get...I think her get-up this year was adorable! Thanks Grannie Sheryl for the darling dress!!

Blake playing a fun sandwich gameSuper excited about her backpack and new book.

We finally made our announcement...we were so anxious to have share!
Baby #2 is arriving in July!
The story behind the onesie. For the Thompson family we all have shirts and we all have a number. The number is given based on when you enter the family. For example I am 65, Rob is 135, and Blakeley is 180. So we had a onesie made with the Thompson logo on front and "Arriving July 2010" on the back!

It was fun to have Gr and Gr there when we shared our news!!Brian Christmas Eve!

Gave the same gift there is a little story behind Rob's dad's portion however...Rob's dad LOVES Sportsman's Gift Cards for any and all occasions. This year he made it very clear that all he wanted for Christmas was an ultra sound picture. He asked for this probably 10 times over the season. So we had Janet open the onesie and Rob open and Sportsman's Gift Card with a cute little ultra sound taped where the card goes. He was shocked!! It was so fun to share our news with our sweet families!!

If you look close you can see the ultra sound picture!

Blake and Kale on Christmas Eve
Christmas Day! Blake has been asking for a kitchen for Christmas since October (I wish I was exaggerating!) So she was so excited to find this on Christmas Morning...
It was darling she ran out, looked and her kitchen, gave it a hug and said "I love it so so much!" What could be cuter than that! I love this girl!

Loving her new kitchen!Christmas Day "Big Sister!"
Blakes and Mom in our aprons or "seat belts" as Blakeley calls them :)

Blakeley built "snowmen" in the kitchen for hours with these...

Just Cute

More fun in the snow, the snow wasn't fresh so all they could build was a mini snowman :) So grateful Rob likes to play in the snow cause I go out to snap some photos and that is about all I can stand.
she loves loves loves to make snow angels
