So Tired

I had so much fun on Saturday with Tennile. We baked and baked and baked. Well, we really only baked chocolate chip cookies everything else we just made but it was still fun. My feet were so swollen by the end of the day. We made peanut butter balls, rice krsipies, peanut butter fudge, white choc. pretzels, choc. pretzels, and choc. chip cookies. Whew! that was alot. I also have some pinwheels and sausage balls to make before Kastyn gets here so I have stuff for my company to eat.
Everyone is saying that I will have Kastyn on Saturday because that is when there is a full moon. We shall see, I am feeling very miserable and so tired. I am trying to get my classroom ready for a sub and my house ready for company. I am almost done with both. Justin says I'm nesting and he doesn't like it because he has to help around the house..LOL!! I don't think I am but I guess time will tell.
I can't wait til Christmas I bought Kastyn a pretty little dress to wear and I bought Justin and I new shirts to wear so I can take our 1st family picture in front of our Christmas tree. I love the smells of Christmas also. I can't believe it is only 20 days til Christmas. YAY!! I can't wait.

All things Christmas!

I am getting soooo tired and not wanting to come to work. I know I can tough it out but I am just so tired.
My Christmas shopping is done and has been for quite some time. Now, I am just waiting on Kastyn to get here so we can celebrate her 1st Christmas this year. Justin and I's relationship has really improved in the last month. I am not sure what it is but I love it. He can't wait for Kastyn to get here either and she already has him wrapped around her little finger.

This Saturday my friend Tennile is coming over to bake goodies with me. We are going to be making lots of good stuff including, peanut clusters, peanut butter balls, white choc. pretzels, sugar cookies (I think), rice crispy treats, and lots more. It will be a fun Saturday spent with a great friend. Then that evening her husband and kiddos will be coming over for supper and great fellowship.

I want to see the Christmas lights around Branson. I can't wait for Justin to take me around looking at all of them. It is always one of my favorite parts about Christmas. Ok so I love Christmas but there are parts I don't like. Like making sure I am pleasing everyone and noone's feelings are going to be hurt, but I have recently started thinking that I have to do what is best for my family, (Justin, me, and Kastyn) and if I end up hurting someone's feelings so be it.

I want to start my own family tradition of being at home on Christmas day, so my kids can open presents on Christmas morning at home. This is important to me and I hope my family will understand.

After Christmas!

It is now after Christmas and I would like to say that I had a very hard time this Christmas. I cried alot for I know that I would've been seven months pregnant but the Lord had other plans. I know His plans are so much better than my plans but it was still a rough holiday for me. I enjoyed the Chiefs game but I think next time I go it won't be in December when it's freezing. LOL!! Justin had me wrapped up tight and I wasn't too cold. Justin and the rest of my family were laughing at me being all wrapped up and said I looked like the little boy from the movie, A Christmas Story and I was Ralphie's little brother. My mom has been talking about this eReader that she just bought and now I want one. I don't get to read much but I still think it would be fun to have.
After this Christmas I am more and more excited to start a new tradition with my new family. Justin is having a hard time with this because he says we still have other family. Well, this I know but I don't understand why any of our family wouldn't want us to have new traditions as we weave into our own ways and things. I think heading up Christmas evening to a parent's house isn't too bad. It is still Christmas but our kiddos have still gotten to wake up on Christmas day with their mom and dad and opened gifts.
Today I go to the dentist and I am a little anxious about it. I know everything will be just fine, but it still makes me a little nervous.
My love to all!
