A Very Christensen Christmas

So I've decided that I really like hosting Christmas morning. I don't know why people seem to stress out about having family over to have breakfast (the best meal of the day) and opening gifts. Christmas is also the one Holiday where it's acceptable to not shower and stay in PJ's, so why wouldn't you want to host it?
Being a parent on Christmas is just as awesome as being a little kid. Peter and I couldn't wait for Leyah to go down stairs and see the wonder that is Christmas morning. It started with her checking to see if Santa and the reindeer had eaten her cookies and carrots.
After the initial excitement she ate the rest of  the stale cookie
Complete with the Yule Log on tv we all opened our gifts and had a blast. I really wish I had a picture of when Leyah opened her sweet pink balance bike from Santa, she was so siked that he had listened :) 
Jordan was thrilled too :)
I Love my family and I love Christmas!!!

Round Two

And it happened, I am now the sick one. Well poop. Taking care of a sick family is one thing but taking care of a healthy rambunctious family while breast feeding and being sick is just horrible.

Gatorade and Ginger Ale

The Holidays are here and with that comes stress, excitement and ridiculousness. I feel like today got about as nutty as it can get around here. My day started around 2:30am when I had to feed Jordan and found that Peter too was awake (this NEVER happens), poor guy had a fever and didn't feel well. Well we all went back to bed and were suddenly awoke by Leyah screaming at 5am that she was "messy". That is the last thing you want to hear as a parent because NOTHING good ever comes out of a "messy" situation. The smell that emanated from her room was horrific, and the sight even more frightening. Poor thing had thrown up at some point but had never woke up, who does that! Peter was on bath duty and I took bedroom clean up, both of which sucked but we divided and conquered. The rest of the day involved Leyah and Peter sleeping on either sides of the couch. The worst part about having a sick child and a sick hubby is the fact that you KNOW your turn is coming :(

It's official I'm a... blogger?

 Between having kids, not being "tech" savvy, and lets face it, just plain lazy it has taken me 2 years to finally put together a blog. I always "stalk" others blogs and think to myself, "man are people really that much cooler then me!" Probably not, but jotting down your crazy family happenings online just seems to make everything more interesting. Sometimes you just want to share with the world that you are proud of your 2 year old for peeing in her toy bucket instead of on the carpet. Sometimes you want to share that your baby just smiled at you even though she's only 3 weeks old. Or maybe you just want to vent about how annoying mother's can be and how you wish they can just go away, but then crap, you remember you are a mother too. Blogs don't judge though :) So here's to starting my adventure as a "Blogger" and hopefully, someday, someone can stalk my page  and be just a little jealous of my crazy Christensen Chronicles.
