Decorating for Christmas

Peyton is at such a fun age for Christmas this year! We decorated our tree the Saturday before Thanksgiving because there would be lots of traveling for this family in the month of December!

While Drew got out the tree and fluffed every. single. branch. (the tree looks great but I am a little less OCD when it comes to stuff like that) Peyton and I made some m&m and snickerdoodle cookies.

 We also danced around the house to Christmas music. :) My kiddo loves to dance.

While the cookies were baking we took a little time-out to snuggle and watch Rudolph.

Peyton loves helping Daddy with everything! so he 'helped' Drew fluff the tree a little while ( and was very close to causing them both to fall).

I loved watching the amazement on Peyton's face when we turned off all of the lights except on the tree. He pointed and jabbered on for a good five minutes straight... He also has a little tree in his room that he loves!

All of that fluffing and cooking made us exhausted and it was already bedtime so we called it a night.

The next night we put the ornaments on the tree. Peyton was such a great helper! We haven't rearranged them at all, and thankfully it doesn't drive me crazy that the tree is slightly off balance. 

It is sure to be a wonderful and eventful Christmas with these two around! I wouldn't want it any other way! 

2 months with our little girl

 My dear Sadie girl you are already over two months old! I was up with you around 2 am the other night and was almost in tears over how fast time flies. You are only two months... you are my tiny little girl, but you are also TWO MONTHS OLD already! That's crazy to me! I have loved seeing how you are growing and learning every day! I'm definitely reminding myself daily to hold you a little longer and cherish these moments. I am praying you are just as big of a snuggle bug as your big brother - who I still rock to sleep.

This past month you have started smiling and cooing. I love that you talk to us, recognize us, and love us. I know you do. :) I love that sometimes you just need your mama, and that singing calms you down. You are staying up longer stretches which is such fun! I can't get enough of those adoring, inquisitive eyes.

Sadie your head control is awesome and I love that you always want to stand up. Although it is slightly annoying when I'm trying to burp you. HA.

Thank you for tolerating your brother as he plays peek a boo with you and ends up attempting to smother you in the process.

You are still eating wonderfully, although you definitely spit up more than your brother, and you occasionally still scare me with all the gurgling that goes on in that throat of yours. :) We still let you sleep in the boppy between daddy and me, mainly because I don't want to lay you flat with all your spit up. You think it's pretty cozy so that works for us. :) Oh thanks by the way for sleeping 6-7 hour stretches at night. We appreciate it! Also, even though you have a few hours of fussiness that the Dr. calls 'colic' we are so blessed that those are your only fussy hours. Otherwise we are able to calm you easily with milk, a diaper, snuggles, or paci. 

You light up this Hunsley household and we are just so grateful for you baby girl!

Owo is 3 - lets play with the animals!

Owen turned 3 on November 9th and we spent the day celebrating in Greensboro. We ate yummy burgers and cake at Fuddruckers, and then opened presents outside.

 Then we headed to the Greensboro Science Museum and Zoo. It was a ton of fun. Peyton loved the Penguins and the fish/sharks. He stayed there the longest, although he also enjoyed petting the sheep. He has a puzzle at home that has sea animals on it and he picks out the sting ray and points to the door like he is remembering his good time attempting to pet one. So. Stinkin'. Adorable.

Although I'm not ready for my baby nephew Owo to be 3, we sure enjoyed celebrating him and cannot wait to see what this next year brings for him!
