Here are some new pics! I'll add a Christmas post later this week!

Jordann has so much personality. She & Josiah are truly the light of our lives! We've been keeping busy with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season...but trying to enjoy it as much as possible! We've had a fun week with Sarah here from Tulsa! We've done a ton of cooking and baking, wrapping and shopping! It's always so much fun when she comes...the kids adore her and hate when she leaves :( Not to mention she takes the best pics!

Josiah has had 2 programs (school & church)....we were a little nervous because in the school program he had a speaking part (no biggee) but he refused to rehearse the part and pitched horrible fits at school and was having a hard week prior listing and obeying his teachers! YIKES! To our amazement he was a perfect angel and had a great last week of school! THANK GOODNESS! His speaking part was " All those who heard what the shepards told them that Jesus Christ was born, were filled with wonder". He said every word perfectly except that "were" changed to "are"....still it was precious!

I love cooking and baking anytime...but this year is a little different. I don't get to quite enjoy the goodies like I had previous years...I was asked to be a fill in bridesmaid for my brothers wedding in March...the original bridesmaid is now prego w/ twins...the dresses were bought and it is too late to exchange...how does this apply to me you ask? Well...I am comfortable in the skin I am in and do not obsess about my weight...but in this case...the dress is a size 6 and I am an 8 in normal clothes...so I am nervous that the dress being a formal may just be a little small!!! So I am cutting portions and toning up and giving up all the goodies that I used to indulge in. I figure being healthier for a while is ok...plus Daniel & I are planning a trip for our 10yr anniversary in June so maybe some where tropical?!?! (We'll see)I'll keep you posted on the progress, so far I have lost 3 lbs and haven't redone measurements yet...
