Caden's 2nd Birthday!

It's hard to believe that we have a 2 year old in the house now. Jacob and I kept remembering how I was in the hospital two years ago after Christmas. So much has happened since then and now we're going to be adding to our family come April. Monday night we had a family birthday party for Caden. He loved seeing all of his cousins, aunts & uncles and of course his grandparents and GG. I made Tastee's for supper, which was delicious! Then of course cake and ice cream to follow later.  Caden was so excited to open his presents, he didn't really care what was inside it was the fact of ripping the paper and tossing out tissue paper from sacks. He got some great gifts! Clothes, a dump truck, some puzzles & a puzzle box to put them in, a horsey and some dishes for his kitchen and so on.
After presents it was cake time! I made a vanilla/chocolate swirl cake and decorated it by putting his two favorite things on it, his little puppy or "pup-pup" as he calls it and a picture of a box of apple juice.

What a fun party it was for Caden and for us. I think everyone had a good time! : )

The Christmas Spirit is around us.

Last night I made chicken enchilladas for supper, but all afternoon all I could think about was El Sitio's chips and salsa, so when Caden woke from nap we left to go pick some up. When we got there, the guy said don't worry about paying, it's on me. I said what? He said that he was having such a good day that he would like to treat us to them. Wow, yay! We said plenty of thank-you's and left. I couldn't wait to devour them. And they were delicious with our supper.
Moving on to this morning, Caden and I went to get donuts and our favorite place, Conroy's Bakery. I got 2 twists and 2 cinnamon rolls and went to pay and realized I left my cash in the car, I told the guy that I would be right back to go get it and he said don't worry about it and Merry Christmas. Really? It's just in the car. He said, how about you just come back next week and get some more donuts. I told him I think that we could do that. What a great two days it has been. It's made me think more and more about what Christmas is truly about and all the blessings that God has given us.
Like our Mr. Man here and the Baby Boy that growing inside me.
Our Wonderful Family.

Window clings

Last week we got out some window clings and put them up. Everyday since then they have been rearranged, taken down, moved and put back up again. What great entertainment the snowflakes and snowmen have brought us.

Decisions, decisions for supper.....

Lately it's been so hard for me to think of what to make for supper. Nothing seems to sound good to me. I've looked through my cookbooks and online recipes and nothing seems to capture my attention. I usually ask Jacob what sounds good for supper and usually end up just making something and just eating it. I think the main problem is that i'm not hungry until an exact moment. I know that it's got to be that i'm preggers, but I was never this way before. It really just started within the last 2 weeks. Hopefully this phase will end soon and I'm sure Jacob is wishing this too, because there has been a couple times that he has come home and has had to make him and Caden supper because I haven't made up my mind on what to make. For lunch I've been making Caden something and then later on eventually making me something to eat. Ahh....here's to praying that I'll get back to normal soon! : )
