Christmas

so christmas is over.. it went fast! this year we had a great time. my sister came in town and i got to spend time with her, which i love so much! it was great watching her with jamie and sam.. the way jamie says "aunt tammy" is just so cute. on christmas eve my side of the family ate a yummy dinner at my bro's house, then we went to church and got to see my nephew max sing and that was so sweet, i had to distract myself from crying bc i could have totally lost it with how sweet and innocent those children are singing to Jesus. after church we came back to my house and we had some dessert and opened presents. it is so fun watching the kids all freak out. and i got some pretty awesome things too! it was a late night, but such fun! for a long time i always felt akward being a hostess having people over to my house, but lately i am kinda finding i like it more and more! On christmas day we slept in a bit and had our own christmas with the 4 of us and a few presents we didn't open with my fam. it was sweet, i love just being mellow and enjoying eachother. in the afternoon we went to billy's side of the family and had fun too. we opened gifts, ate food and then i took the girls on a car ride bc they both were tired. they fell asleep within like 5mins in the car. when we got back we had dessert then relaxed and talked. it was a great christmas this year.. this next week billy only is working 2 days and then has another long weekend.. another reason why i love this time of year.. i get to have my billy home alot more than normal! jamie's 3rd birthday is next week.. so i need to start thinking about that. we are going to get her a big girl bed and i can't wait to see how that all goes! ciao for now!

i love my man

just wanted to write publicly how much i love and appreciate billy. he's a wonderful husband and amazing dad. he knows more than anyone how hard it can be for me staying home with the girls all day, everyday. so he gives me breaks and lets me get out at night if i need to, either with a friend, or to exercise, or take a bath if i need, or takes them in the basement if i just need quiet time in my kitchen to clean or make dinner. i just love him and appreciate him. he works hard all day and comes home to probably not a clean house, or a put together looking wife, or perfectly behaved, non-whining kids, or even dinner waiting for him some nights, but still, he comes home and is happy and jumps right in to the chaos happily. he is more than i could have asked for, and i am a very lucky girl!
