Merry Late Christmas...

I am so bad at this dang blog lately....I just have a hard time wanting to take the pics...edit them....and then put them on the blog.....it's easier to blog pics someone else has taken! haha

Anyway....here are some pics of our goings on..First off...the stockings...
Photobucket
They turned out kinda cute!
Photobucket
I had to take a close up of mine....I just love the cute little bird houses on it...if you look really close you can see little colored birds in each one! So cute!
.
WARNING: Heart warming story ahead....
Photobucket
I have this poem that my sister gave me a few years back when my grandma died. I love it and put it up every year.. I have a picture of Bryce in the corner and Trey pointed to it and said, "That's Bryce! Bryce is cute." Trey has never acknowledged Bryce on his own before...we always will point to his picture and ask who it is, but this was all him. So I had to get a picture of him kissing Bryce's picture to remember the moment. It was so sweet!
.
Up next we did and ice candle for Bryce's grave. I stole this idea from my moms best friend who had a daughter pass away in a car accident years ago. I thought they looked so pretty and had to copy!

Check out how the ice froze in the shape of a heart. That was not done on purpose! So cool huh!

Miss Yibb at her brothers grave.

The girls with their brother. Trey was passed out in the car so he didn't get pics this year. It made me sad...but it would have made me super sad to have him grumpy as can be if we had woke him up.
.
Last year I got Ryan a projector for Christmas....it hasn't been out of the box.....UNTIL NOW! haha We used it Christmas Eve night. We thought the kids would like the novelty of it...we set up a bed and all laid down and watched a movie on the wall.

Then it's Christmas Eve present time!

Trey liked his jammies....so much he had to tell me he was 3! haha I don't know how that makes sense but oh well!

Photobucket
Jadynn also loved hers!
.
This is how Santa left our house!
Photobucket
We went to bed disappointed....usually it looks much more impressive, but with Jadynn getting older her presents get smaller and more expensive. Such is life.
.
Photobucket
Trey was pretty excited he got a bike!
.
Photobucket
Poor Libby was so sick that day! She ran a fever all day but didn't complain once...she was so good even though you could tell she didn't feel well at all! You can tell she has rosy little cheeks in this pic.
.
Photobucket
See....Jadynn got an ipod touch....small, yet expensive! ;)
.
Photobucket
i could eat these toes!!! Love them too too much!
.
Photobucket
And Stella even had a few gifts in her stocking! She already bit off the tail!
.
.
And this is Merry Christmas to me! I went to the DI yesterday....and
BOY OH BOY...
Wait till you see what I got!!! hee hee
.
I didn't think to take before pictures until I started priming already....but lookie!!!
Photobucket
An old record player....the record part doesn't have a needle but the radio works!!!
SCORE!! Even more score is that it was a whopping $10!!!!!! Yup....made off like a friggin bandit!!!
Photobucket

.
But wait....there's more!!!!!!!

Photobucket
Pretty awesome chandelier huh?!?!?!? This baby was only $12!!! AAHHH...I know!!!
It will be hung in my dining room....the other light i bought to originally go in the dining room will go in the entry way! EEK! Can't wait!!!
.
.
Yup...here is a little more....
Photobucket
Some cute little ice cream cups and a very very lonely salt shaker.....there wasn't a pepper shaker anywhere to be found....but it was too cute to leave behind! So I took it...I will give it a loving home where it can make friends with the other salt and pepper shakers!
.
And last but not least....
Photobucket
Some cute platters!!!! I'm kinda turning into a platter freak! I see one and I can't resist! I don't know what I will do with them all....but I'm sure I can think of something! Future parties perhaps?!?!? I think so!!
All together the grand total for this DI trip was $25.50!!!! I know....RIGHT?!?!?!? I'm pretty dang proud!

So there you have it!!!! I feel much more caught up now!!! I will post my lovely record player when she is all done! She will be a BEAUT!!!
