Early Christmas Weekend

Well since this year is Michael’s Christmas time with the kids, we decided to do ours this weekend rather than wait until the weekend after Christmas. Thanks to all the people who helped us out, we were able to get the kids plenty of stuff. We mostly shopped at Big Lots and let me tell you people if you have never been there, you should go because their stuff is way cheaper than Wal-mart and Toys R Us. So we were able to get more for our buck! I have only been there once, but I know I will be going back from now on at birthday time and Christmas. Michael got Bryceton and Madison a giant Grave Digger Monster truck power wheels there for almost $100 cheaper than Wal-mart had it for. I can’t wait until they see it! I hope he takes pictures. I took tons of pictures, as always, and will post a lot here. Blaine and I didn’t get each other anything because we wanted to spend every penny on the kids. I was so excited because of everyone’s help, and spirit, that I put the tree up too. I got up at 3 am so that is was up and going before they got there Friday morning. I dressed them up in their good Christmas clothes, and tried to get some good pictures of them in front of the tree. Ha ha. I will never be able to be a photographer. When 2 were looking, one wasn’t. We all 3 were looking one closed their eyes. When 2 smiled, one didn’t. It was very hard to get them all 3 looking/smiling at the same time. Ugh. I am just glad it’s over with.School school school. I passed all of my finals, and I have a final grade of A in every class but math. She hasn’t emailed me what I got yet. I know it’s either an A or B, but I am really anxious  because I would LOVE to have all A’s. All A’s and 1 B is good too, but still. I worked hard this semester, and I want it to show. I am out until January 10th. Nothing but lazing around the house is what I have planned. We go to court Jan 2nd, then Jan 3rd is my ultrasound to see if it’s an Isabella or an Abel. Blaine’s work is being a jerk again. I wish we could afford for him to quit and find a different job. They keep running out of things to do, so they sent everyone home early Thursday, and they didn’t work at all Friday. This was the whole reason we got behind on our bills in the first place. We have a tight budget, and when he doesn’t get a full 40 hours, it kills us. It won’t be so bad once we get some of our bills paid, but if this keeps up through January, we will be so behind again that we will have to use my loan money to get caught up rather than pay them off. And that sucks. And it would mean we couldn’t go to Louisiana at the end of January to have a late Christmas with Blaine’s family. They always come up here and we have only went there like once. Well I guess that’s about it. So here are 389434885405 pictures. Enjoy!!! And to you people that helped us, look at the smiles you put on their faces. <3
