Weekend fun

This is Micah's friend Jackson in the stroller. He is 4 months now. He is too cute. We all went to the mall on Friday and saw Santa read a story and then looked at the toy trains. I was pretty tired from the night before. I went out with some moms for a night out on the town. It was a great time, but definitely stayed out passed my bed time.  We had a good time strolling out at the mall even though it was the Friday before Christmas and every single person and their mother was out shopping. 

I took off his pants when I changed him and didn't put them back on. haha so I swear I dress him all the way. This is not normal for me. He doesn't always look like a hobo but when he does he rocks it.

Here is a photo of our moms night out at a restaurant called Mash'd. It was a great time with friends and to just talk about anything and everything. 

We finally went and saw Christmas light on Friday night. It was so much fun to see M's reaction to the lights and music. He really did enjoy it. I had to indulge and end the night with a cheeseburger, sweet potato fries and a strawberry shake. While I was eating my sister texted me and told me she lost 8 pounds. I think God was trying to tell me something right then.. haha

I actually  think it's going to be Craig and I's new Years resolution to get back to post baby weight.

Let's hope we can actually keep each other in check and make it to our goals.

Last night we went to a friends house party called "Elf night" where we cook and eat breakfast food, hot cocoa, sweets, and sit and watch the movie Elf. It was actually an awesome tradition they started three years ago. Micah made it through the whole movie and was still happy afterwards. 

Gosh my kid is the best :)

We are stocked under our Christmas tree with gifts and feel so loved this year. Even though we are so far away Micah will have a wonderful Christmas and know he is loved. I will take pictures (did you really think I wouldn't?) and post about everything he got. We don't have many toys for him so he should be set for awhile after Thursday!

I am missing family already. I know M would just love being passed around at the dinner and present time. I will miss that. He is at such a great age to enjoy everyone around him. 

Hope you all had a great weekend. 

It's countdown 4 days till Christmas!!!

Love you all

Micah's favorite song

Santa Claus Press Conference – Jolly | NBA on ESPN

Since I have to watch sports all the time. This has been my favorite Christmas commercial so far. Makes me laugh out loud every time.

Toy trains

Went to see toy trains today at north park mall in Dallas. Micah was mesmerized:)

Mini sexual lumberjack

Today we dressed up like daddy as a sexy lumberjack. Isn't he cute? Goodness. Here's the thing. I had nothing to do with it. I'd like to think I made him. But I have to give all the credit to the one who truly made him inside my belly-God. He's pretty good at what he does if I have to says so myself. Haha

We got to go to brunch today with my friends from lifegroup that have small boys too. Its always fun and crazy at the same time.
Tomorrow night is moms night out and we will actually have an opportunity to talk without taking care of a little one at the same time. It should be nice. I hope a lot of the moms make it out. Its tough to get out at night when you just want to relax...but I'm always grateful I do.

We might try and go see some Christmas lights tonight. It was a tradition we tried to start a long time ago. Maybe this time it will stick.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!

Best boy

Christmas cookies

It's that time of year. I made some cookies and banana bread in mason jars this year. When M wakes up we are going to deliver some to our lifegroup friends and then the neighbors later on. Everything turned out pretty good. I didn't go all out like I did last year, but it was still a ton of work and a little stressful. A lot harder when you have a little one needing attention all day. It took me all day on Saturday to get this done but today I am happy to deliver. I just love giving a little something to those who are important in my life.. and maybe some surprises to the neighbors. I just hope they know we don't want anything in return. It's true..it's better to Give than Receive. 

This Sunday at life group we were talking about being a servant and humbling ourselves like Jesus did when he walked the earth. He could have made it known that he was the ruler and King of the Jews but instead he humbled himself and became a servant to those around him. It's crazy to think the Son of God wanted to serve people like ME and YOU. Makes you really think about your intentions in daily life. Are you doing things for yourself or others? When you have a baby you obviously are not thinking about yourself anymore and get a glimpse of what life was like for Jesus.

I just love Christmas. Today it's 65 degrees out...so doesn't feel like Christmas but it is a nice day to get out and deliver the goodies.

Looks like we may be caroling on Christmas Eve with our lifegroup this year. This will be my first time doing something like this.

Fun stuff!!

Love you all
