Holidays are gone but more to look forward too.

I can't believe the holidays are already done. Christmas was awesome. Christmas eve was just our little family. We made gingerbread houses and played games and watched movies. We had a blast. The girls were so excited. My favorite part was making dinner, Matias was awesome and helped out. It was great to be in the kitchen with Matias we made a great team. We had ham and potatoes and gravy and all the good stuff. While we were at the table Sayge kept saying how full she was but she kept eating, "cause it is so good mama!" I loved it. Then the girls opened up their Christmas eve pjs. They loved them. I really wish I could post pictures because they looked so cute in their pjs. Then Christmas morning came and I being a total nerd woke up at 4am. I was so excited to have the girls wake up. Matias woke up at 5am and Matias and I made breakfast casserole so while we open gifts it could cook. Then Angel woke up and so we woke Sayge and Alexye up. Right when we walked downstairs we had a knock at our window. It scared the crap out of me. It was my daddy!! Mom and dad surprised us by coming up Christmas morning. They made it right in time to open gifts. The girls had a great time opening their presents. They were way too spoiled. The funniest thing was Angelyse opened up a box with an outfit in it and when she saw it was clothes she tried to stuff it back in the box. It was funny. Christmas was great the girls played with their toys and Matias and dad played call of duty a little bit.
New Years was just us and Angelyse fell asleep and me being an old lady did too. I woke up a couple minutes before midnight I blame the pain meds. :) Matias and Sayge and Alexye stayed up and they played board games and sprayed silly string and had root beer floats. They had so much fun. Now that the holidays are over we still have a lot to look forward too. We want to go camping in Yellowstone this summer, Our brother Bryce comes home from his mission in Argentina on May 5th. Matias turns 30 on May 9th (old man..lol) and we will be completing our family this year with a beautiful baby girl.
We are hoping we can make it to May at least before she comes. I . Already showing signs of pre term labor and I am already feeling some contractions but so far its just more of a pain for me and its not doing anything to our baby girl. Thankfully my doctor has given me some pain meds for when the pain and cramping gets too bad but I try not to take them too often. We are also still trying to figure out a name for her. Matias isn't helping much but hopefully soon we can have something to call her besides baby girl. I have 2 names that I found on babycenter.com that I love, Briella or Breklyn but we will see. Anyways last year was a good year everyone stayed healthy we had our ups and our downs but everyone does. I'm looking forward to another awesome year with my family! We have a lot to look forward too in the upcoming year.
