Parker's Christmas Party

Truth be told, I wasn't going to go to Parker's PreK Christmas Party. I'm so glad I changed my mind and found a sitter, and went. The second I walked in, Parker ran up to be, hugged me and said "MOMMY! I KNEW YOU'D COME" Melt my heart.

They made snowmen for a snack.

They also made Santas.

The Master hard at work:

Parker with his class. Rhyme about Santa and the chimney.

Parker and his class singing S-A-N-T-A

Parker and his class singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Parker and his class singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

*this one is my favorite.

Christmas Crafts

Parker and Carter made mint hot cocoa for their teachers! We personalized the containers. :)

I made recycled Crayons for the primary. :) so fun.

AND Anderson got his own PJ bucket!! :)

Cannibalism?

*Warning: Graphic Image may be disturbing to some viewers This is my placenta. I took paint and made prints out of it. Such an amazing organ.

Tree of Life prints.

After I made the prints, I brough my placenta to a friend and fellow doula to encapsulate it. :) Placenta pills are supposed to help ward off ppd and can help milk supply.

December Fun

Here is another hat I made for a special order. Love car rides. All THREE boys are asleep.... Look in the little mirror you can barely see Anderson is sleeping too.

We made countdown chains til Santa!

Shelb sent Anderson some Christmas PJs and we tried them on and sent her a pic!

lucky ducky

I won an ERGO from Mother Earth Baby in Oswego!! I won the carrier, a backback and a front pouch. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world!

I could even carry Parker in it. This thing is awesome!!!

Happy 1st Thanksgiving!

While home for thanksgiving I came across this picture of myself. Kindergarten photo I think. Adorable if I do say so myself. Now you know where Carter gets his hair color from. :)

The turkey... forgot to get the Steffen annual boy photo w the turkey.




Anderson got lots of Gram time!

Turkey butt!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving baby Anderson. Next year will be better, when you can actually eat it. Love you!

november fun

My three baby boys.

I learned to crochet this fall and have been crocheting up a storm. I made that hat for Anderson to go Christmas carolling. He is our little rudolph!

Gram and Anderson played and bonded a lot in November. It was lovely. Anderon's middle name is her maiden name... so, I think they share a special bond. <3

I'm not sure who had more fun... her or him!

Parker being silly about his birthday money. He said that I should spend his birthday money to buy Carter a bike so we could have two bikes. Two bikes are more fun. Carter makes his cameo appearance in his undies.

Here is Parker reading me a story he "wrote".
