Noe News is Good News

The purple cast

So much i want to write about right now!! Unfortunately I can only type so much with my left hand only before it gets tired. On Friday (the 13th might I add) I slipped on some ice on my sloped driveway and broke my right wrist. So unless I can convince Adam to write a few things (not likely- besides he's doing EVERYTHING for me right now with no complaining so I don't want to push it!) I might by MIA for a while :( Today I went and got my permanant cast put on. I chose purple just for Joselyn! Life should be interesting these next 4-6 weeks as I adjust to doing everything with my non-dominant hand including trying to get moved into a new house! Oh the timing of it all! But I am counting my many many blessings!! It could have been a lot worse. Surgery will not be needed thankfully and Lyla is still kicking. A lot :) I have had an outpouring of love and support from my friends and family too and that means so much. So... if you don't hear from me in a while you now know why! If you have any experience with this I'd LOVE some advice!! 

Cookies for Santa

I had a lot of pictures here so I thought I would give this it's own post. I let the kids get really really messy- tried not to let myself get too anxious, ya know?! And it turned out to be one of my favorite activities with them!

We set them out that night before the kids went to bed and Joselyn left Santa a little picture. SO adorable. She used little jewels as Santa's nose and Rudolph's nose. I think Santa really enjoyed those cookies because they were all eaten up in the morning!

Christmas in pictures

I couldn't really decide if I wanted to do one big Christmas post or separate them into different posts... but in the end I decided to combine most if it into one post because I've already posted so much today!!!

So in no particular order here are some fun Christmas memories!!

Catching a few snowflakes with our tongues... this was really funny because it has been such a MILD winter this year with barely any snow! The snow didn't even stick this particular day but the kids were so excited that we got all dressed up and played in the falling white stuff. 

Joselyn's dance recital- Ariel's Christmas Island. She was adorable! (she's on the far right just in case you are wondering)

Our snowglobes... really a total fail but they were fun to make anyway! We'll probably try again next year!

The Nutcracker with Joselyn, Autumn, me and my mom. Joselyn's little friend Bella was a honey fairy and it was so fun to go watch! This was actually the "Nutcracker in one act" but it was still a little too long for Joselyn's taste! She did pretty good up until ALMOST the very end. Then she wanted to leave. But she had a little crush on the nutcracker prince. She told me he was handsome! Loved it. Before we went I let each of the girls unwrap a little nutcracker ornament to remember the day. I got these at Michaels for $1 but the girls LOVED them! Then they sat down and looked at the Nutcracker book together and we talked about the story so they would have a little bit of an idea what was going on. Afterwards the girls got to meet some of the dancers and that was definitely a highlight too!
