We didn't plan much for today because well when you could really have a baby at any minute you don't plan much. Today started off fabulous! J slept until 8:45 which meant we slept until 8 and then watched an episode of Friday Night Lights from bed. What a great way to start the day!!!</div>
<div abp="278">
</div>
<div abp="279">
After J got up we had cinnamon rolls and Aaron planned to go tutor (like he does every Saturday). Aaron left as usual only returning quickly when his brakes went out at the front of our subdivision. Luckily he only knocked over a bush and median sign, but still it was very scary. I called AAA and they came and towed the car to Pep Boys for service.</div>

After following the truck to the shop, Aaron and J dropped me off for some father/son time. Also, known as go get Mommy a Valentines gift. While they were gone, my mom called and invited me to join her for a much needed pedi. Not a bad way to spend some free time before having baby #2!!!</div>

My parents had invited us earlier in the day to join them at Joe T. Garcia's. Our weather has been more spring like than winter, so today's high was 75!!! Perfect patio weather. We met them at Joe T's a little before 5 and got a table on the patio. It was so beautiful!!!</div>

I am also proud of how much you have learned this year!!! If we were to look back over the last year, your growth would amaze people. You talk ALL the time now!!! Your vocabulary is GYNORMOUS!!! You talk in sentences and you are only 3!!! I have told Daddy that I think you are going to be way smarter than us. You soak up anything to do with letters and numbers. You can count 1 to 10. You love clocks, and constantly want to know the time. You say, "What time is?"</div>

I have known for a while the theme of J's party this year would be Mickey Mouse. It wasn't until after Christmas that I really started pulling it together. I planned to have it the weekend before his birthday instead of the weekend after since I was going to be so pregnant. Well, come to find out I went to my doctor on Wednesday, Jan. 28 to find I was dilated to a 3. To say I was freaked would be an understatement. Here, my planner self had planned a party well before my due date, and I was at a 3!!! I kind of went into I need to rest more mode so I won't have this baby before the party. </div>
<div abp="127">
</div>
<div abp="128">
Of course, my mom came to the rescue and helped me clean my house, so I wouldn't overdo it and have the baby before the party. Thankfully, God was looking out for my sanity, and the party went on with no problems!!!</div>

I think I have figured out the perfect combo to throwing a kid's party. J's first birthday party was pretty elaborate, and after that I knew I had to find a way to throw a fun, cute party with not as much work. For me, I have found that!!! My party's are far from Pinterest worthy but I think they are festive and cute. And more importantly, J LOVES them!!! </div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He really got into it this year. As I decorated over the course of the week, J would come in and point to different decorations. He would say, "What is that?" </div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would, "It's for your birthday party." </div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the week went on, he would say, "It's for MY party!" </div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"I have a Mickey party." </div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"I have a Mickey cake."</div>
<div abp="337" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seriously, if that doesn't make you want to throw a party for your kid, I don't know what will. And that is my driving force!!! To make J feel special!!!!</div>

I originally was going to order Babe's Chicken for our food, but after the doctor scare my mom suggested we do Chickfila chicken nuggets ( a J fav!!!) and some simple sides- chips, fruit, and biscuits. Then, she took care of it all!!! I didn't have order it, pick it up, or go to the grocery store. My mom rocks!!!! Everybody needs a mom like mine!</div>

There are times when it's just J and I that I sit and cry with him. Especially lately, he has been so sweet. I think of how it won't just be he and I anymore. I also worry about how baby brother will take away my time with him. Being an only child, it's hard for me to imagine not giving my undivided attention to Jackson. Don't get me wrong I am super excited about Bennett, and I look forward to watching the brother bond and friendship form in the coming years. It still doesn't make me a little weepy at times thinking about how I won't be able to spend time just with J anymore. <br />
<br />
Over the last few days, J and I have had some good one on one time.<br />
<br />
Friday we spent the whole day together. We didn't even leave the house. We played and did stuff around the house. Plus, J had a really runny nose, so he wasn't feeling 100%. It was a good day to just hang out at home. Again, something we've done a lot over the last 3 years, but I know this special time is coming to an end.<br />

Saturday mornings have also become J and Mommy time. Aaron is gone all morning tutoring, so we usually just hang out in our pjs and play. Sidenote: J is still obsessed with Christmas. We still sing his 4 favorite songs ALL the time!!! And we watch Rudolph. Specifically, the Misfits song!!! He loves that song!!!</div>

Then, yesterday we had another Mommy/J day. Other than meeting RaRa for lunch, another common occurrence on these days!!! We spent the day at home. But because it was so beautiful outside, we went to the park after our lunch date with RaRa. We spent an hour swinging and climbing around the playground. </div>

Like I've said before, birthdays are big deals in our family. <br />
<br />
On Saturday afternoon, my parents watched J, again!!! Yep. They're amazing!!!<br />
<br />
This gave Aaron and I sometime to do our own things. I ran errands, and Aaron chose to go for a run. The weather has been beautiful, so he decided to take advantage while little old me decided to go to Babies 'R Us and Target to get some more things for Baby Bennett. <br />
<br />
I had made reservations at Bob's Chop and Steakhouse in downtown Fort Worth. We had never been to this place before, but it was Aaron's choice.<br />
<br />
I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was.<br />
<br />

On Sunday after church, my mom had us over for lunch to celebrate Aaron's birthday as well. She made him a delicious shrimp and rice dish with asparagus. It was so good!!! Then, for something different she went to Nothing Bundt Cakes and got Aaron a cake. She got the cake of the month that had caramel and pecans in it. Pretty appropriate seeing as Aaron's other favorite dessert flavor besides strawberries is caramel. </div>

J is really getting into the whole birthday thing!!! He loves blowing out candles. We had some leftover cake last night, and he thought we needed more candles. I guess he has a point. It is a birthday cake. </div>

We finished off our weekend with our Financial Peace University class at church. My parent again watch J, so we can attend. After our class, we headed back to my parents to get J. My dad had gotten Subway sandwiches, so we stayed and ate. And as usual, J cried when we had to leave. He loves RaRa and GPa's. What's not to love!!! It's his Nirvana!!! </div>

Birthdays are special days to me!!! My mom has always made a big deal out of birthdays, so I naturally do that with my family, too.<br />
<br />
I had Aaron pick his meal of choice. No surprise he chose spaghetti and meatballs. Aaron isn't much of a birthday cake kind of a guy. He's more into strawberries and cream!!!<br />
<br />

Aaron and I had a really nice dinner while J watched some Bob the Builder in the living room. J had just had ice cream from Sonic with RaRa, so I knew better than to even attempt food. </div>

I had mentioned a few days earlier to J that maybe he could go see Baby Bennett on the sonogram. J picked up on the sonogram part and immediately thought I was saying Sonic. It was the cutest thing!!! J kept saying, "Baby Bennett at Sonic!"<br />
<br />
Thankfully, my mom picked J up from school as usual on Thursday and met me at my sonogram. I didn't get any pics at the sonogram. I am kicking myself because J was too cute!!! So I asked my mom to snap a few pics of him when she took him to Sonic afterwards. There was no not getting ice cream at Sonic!!!<br />

Stats on Bennett: He is looking great!!! Projected weight as of now is 6.4!!! And we have 4 weeks until the due date!!! All in all, everything looks good! He is head down and in position to make his arrival. Because J was 10 days early, I am thinking he might arrive around Feb. 12, but we shall see. If you ask me at the end of each day, I will tell you I think he is coming right now. </div>

J has gotten really bad at deleting photos from my phone. Later, when I go to my photo stream, I see them again. Well, that happened so here are some more things we've been up to lately.<br />

I have been hearing about essential oils a lot lately. I have been talking about getting some and a diffuser and trying them out. For Christmas, my mom got me the diffuser and a bottle of Thieves. I've been turning it on and diffusing it in our living room a lot. I LOVE it!!! Our house smells like a spa, and I like to think it is purifying our air from all the junk going around. In fact, tonight for the first time I applied a drop of oil to each of J's feet. He has had a really runny nose the last two days, so I am hoping it will help. Lots of moms seem to swear by it.<br />

As a part of mission organization, I got Aaron over the door shoe storage. So far it's working well. It's keeping Aaron's shoes off the floor of his closet leaving room for his boxes of comic books and guitar that needed a new home.</div>

A couple of Saturdays ago, Aaron came home from his morning of tutoring suggesting Babe's for lunch. We hadn't been in FOREVER, and it was soooooo GOOD!!! We have figured out that you can eat really good for pretty inexpensive. We get one order of chicken tenders and split it among us. Then, because they bring extra helping of sides and biscuits, there is always plenty.</div>

A sweet new couple at our church invited a bunch of us with boys the same age over on the Monday night of the College Championship game. It was a lot of fun to hang out with other young couples our age and let our boys play. Of course, I might be a little biased but I think J is the cutest boy in this picture.</div>

We met up with my cousins, Tim and Stacy, for dinner to chat and finally exchange our Christmas gifts. We came home, and J wanted to try out the new toy they got him. He was laughing and laughing at it!!!</div>

I think we did one before we had J, but I honestly don't remember. It's weird how more meaningful these times together are once you have children.<br />
<br />
Because Aaron tutors every Saturday morning now, we opted to have our weekend start after lunch on Saturday. We met my parents for lunch and J went home with them. <br />
<br />
After running a few errands, Aaron and I went and saw the movie, <em>American Sniper</em>. I don't get to many movies anymore, but I am so glad I made it to this one. It was amazing!!!<br />

<br />
After the movie, we went to dinner and then went home to watch some more Friday Night Lights.<br />

Aaron and I started this series a few weeks ago on Netflix, and we are kind of addicted to it. We are already through Season 1 and into Season 2.</div>

On Sunday morning, we slept in a bit and went to church close by.</div>

Then, we headed to Dallas to stay the night at the W Hotel in Victory Plaza. We used some of our credit card points to stay the night.</div>

We relaxed the hotel lounge before walking to dinner. I don't know if this counts as a craving, but I have been craving soft drinks like Coke. I know they are horrible for you, and I don't usually drink them all that often (maybe a couple of times a week), but lately I have wanted one every single day. Anyway, I had a Coke and snacked on some of their spicy popcorn.</div>

We had pizza at this place just down from the hotel. Supposedly, USA Today said it was the best pizza in Texas. NOT!!! It was okay but not spectacular. Then, we went back to the room and rented a movie and ordered room service desserts. It was fabulous!!!</div>

The hotel had this mat at the entrance to the elevators. They change them out throughout the day to say Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Evening. How fun!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After hotel breakfast, we headed back to reality. My parents brought J home around 1:30, which gave us time to get home and get a few things done- like laundry and a pot of chili on the stove. It was such a nice weekend!!! Knowing J was having a great time with RaRa and GPa made it so much easier, too. Anytime J is with them, I don't worry one bit. If he can't be with me, the next best thing is my parents!!!</div>

I am in full on panic mode. As of Sunday, I am 35 weeks. For most that would mean I would have 5 weeks. Because J came at 38.5 weeks, I have 3 weeks, but after the last two nights I am thinking it could be any day. Seriously, I feel like I could pop!!!<br />
<br />
Here's what we've been up to...<br />
<br />
The first Saturday of the month we went to the mall to do our Christmas returns. J entertained himself in front of the mirror while Aaron returned some items at Macy's.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YohoyanKzsA/VMBzfO7x7oI/AAAAAAAAFpk/J_3ioomywcg/s1600/IMG_4200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YohoyanKzsA/VMBzfO7x7oI/AAAAAAAAFpk/J_3ioomywcg/s1600/IMG_4200.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, we headed to Dillard's for Aaron to exchange something else. J and I wandered around again. We came upon some Texas Longhorn apparel. As soon as J saw it, he said, "Longhorns Hook 'em" I sent my dad this pic and told him he would be proud that his teaching is rubbing off on J.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, before leaving the mall, we had to get a Great American cookie. And yes, J picked the cookie with the bright fluorescent pink icing!!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later on after J's nap, we headed out to use a gift card for dinner at one of our favs, Mijo's. We arrived at the location by our house to find it closed. We were so sad!!! Before J, we went to Mijo's once a week for dinner. Because we had a gift card and were craving it, we headed to the location about 15 minutes away instead.</div>

<br />
We finished our evening with yogurt at our favorite place, Yummilicious. Again, we hadn't been there in forever. It was so good!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I honestly haven't taken that many pictures this month, but we have definitely been busy. I have been in full on get ready for Baby Brother mode. His room is finally cleaned out. I have been organizing like crazy and planning J's 3rd birthday party. I still don't feel ready for him to make his debut yet. I still have too much to do. With a 2 year old, it's hard to get everything done sometimes. Thankfully, my parents are amazing and help me out so much!!! I seriously couldn't do it without them. They take J off my hands some here and there so I can get some much needed things done.</div>

This is Bennett's room. A blank canvas. I already have his bedding from Pottery Barn. Since I took this picture, I bought a rug at Target, and my mom ordered curtains I had seen at Pottery Barn. It will be far from completed when Bennett arrives, but I have a vision. I am super excited about the look I am going for with this room. </div>

I have also really been soaking up my time with my boy. Just when I think Jackson can't get any sweeter, he does just that. He gets sweeter. I am more positive than ever that he is going to be the best big brother. Right now, he is constantly kissing my belly. He talks about what he's going to teach him. He will say Baby Bennett will like playing with... It really is the sweetest thing.</div>

It's hard to believe we are already three days into 2015!!!</div>
<div abp="1090">
</div>
<div abp="1090">
We've had a pretty good start despite me not feeling great. I went for my regular doctor's appointment on New Year's Eve, and she prescribed me a ZPak and some steroids. After 4 days of sinus like junk and a worsening cough, she gave me something more than over the counter medicine I had been taking.</div>
<div abp="1090">
</div>

We spent NYE very low key at home. I got us a Papa Murphy's Pizza and some sparkling grape juice. Then, my sweet sis-in-law brought over fun hats and blowers since I wasn't feeling well enough to go to their house and spend the evening with them.</div>

New Year's Day was so relaxed. I was so thankful that I had taken all of our Christmas decorations down earlier in the week and cleaned the whole house. I really felt like I could relax and do nothing all day. Because it was cold and dreary, we did just that. We didn't leave the house all day. It was so great!!! Nothing much better than lounging around all day in pjs with white chicken chili cooking in the crockpot. At the end of our day, Aaron declared that we should make this a tradition. Every New Year's Day should be a do nothing hang around the house day. I'm in!!!</div>

I get really mad at myself because one of the main reasons I blog is to preserve special moments of Jackson. I want to be able to look back years from now and remember his sweetness. Pregnancy hormones don't help, but lately I have just wanted to freeze time, so I can really remember all the things he says and does.<br />

My case in point- the above picture I posted on IG and FB a few days ago. Look at the difference a year makes. For Jackson, a year has made a world of difference. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time last year we weren't certain about anything with him developmentally. He didn't start walking until almost 19 months (Sept. 2013). He started receiving ECI services at that time for speech therapy. Then, in October, we were able to get him into Occupational therapy through Cooks Children's. In December, he started receiving additional cognitive service along with physical therapy because he was still so behind. To say we were worried would be an understatement. He wasn't making the progress as quickly as other kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In April, his ECI speech therapist, threw out the term, speech apraxia. Try googling that. It will freak you out!!! Our minds were spinning. While the neurologist we met with in March didn't seem concerned. He called him precocious, and suggested maybe having his ears checked. Sure enough after an evaluation in April by an ENT tubes were scheduled for May 30. Along with "apraxia" scare, we started looking into getting him more speech therapy, which led us to Monkey Mouths in Fort Worth. After getting his tubes, in June, he met with Ms. Kim, his new speech therapist, at Monkey Mouths. Her evaluation was that he didn't have apraxia but was very, very behind. His weekly 30 minute sessions with her proved to be amazing and for the first time we started seeing drastic speech improvement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the same time, my parents suggested we get J into a good preschool in the fall. It had already been encouraged through ECI, but I hadn't been ready. So we ended up touring Children's University and fell in love with it. More than a Mother's Day Out, they have real curriculum they follow. That is what we felt J really needed. Not only social interaction but in-depth curriculum, not the fluffy stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In August, ECI reevaluated him for his one year. He was exited because he no longer qualified. Let me say again. What a difference a year makes. August 2013 I cried as the five evaluators told me J was so behind and needed speech, physical, and occupational therapy. One year later I cried because they were telling me he was doing so much better and their services were no longer needed!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the past 5 months, J has blossomed!!! Monkey Mouths and Children's University has done so much for J. He talks nonstop!!! He uses way more than 2 and 3 words together. He speaks in sentences. It's truly amazing!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, don't get me wrong he's not perfect. In the last several months, with speech development he has definitely hit the twos. We got a little delay from that, but it has hit. We have some major tantrums!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know every parent thinks there kid is the smartest, so I will get in line with the rest of parents. Because J is so smart, he is only 2 and he know all of his letters and the phonetical sounds they make. I love that when he picks up the letter F. He not only calls it my name, but he follows it up with the sound it makes. He can count from 1 to 10. He LOVES numbers. He is obsessed with digital clocks. He is constantly wanting to know the time. He says, "What time is?" (leaving off the it) He can randomly read off that it is 8:49. And not only say 8 4 and 9, but say 8 49. How many two year olds know that? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is really phenomenal when you know where he has come from. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">J's Likes at 2 almost 3:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Food</u>- J is super picky!!! But some of his likes as of now- Oatmeal, waffles, rice and beans, chips and salsa, pbj, veggie patties, grapes, apple, mandarin oranges, banana, chicken nuggets, French fries, pizza (sometimes). Really any on this list is hit or miss. One day he might like it. The next day he doesn't. To say meal time is trying at times would be an understatement!!!</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Places to Eat</u>- Taco Bueno (aka Dauby); Wendy's; Chickfila; most Mexican food restaurants (for the chips, salsa, rice and beans); McDonald's for pancakes and ice cream</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Letters and numbers</u>- he can't get enough of them. Digital clocks; numbers in the song book at church; magnetic letters on the fridge; foam letters and numbers in the bath tub (His favorite number is 9 and his favorite letter is M.)</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Technology</u>- He loves the iPhone, particularly mine. He is always asking when he will get to see it and play with it. Sometimes it's exhausting. We have meltdowns over it, too. He loves RaRa's iPad and Uncle Tommy's iPod. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Television</u>- It started with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Then, we went through a Chuggington phase. Now, it's Bob the Builder. He enjoyed the original Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer this Christmas, too.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Sleeping</u>- He still sleeps really well. Usually 11 to 12 hours every night and a one to two hour nap every afternoon. We have skipped a nap here and there and he has done okay. Mommy still loves the naps.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Christmas J has really gotten into Santa Claus. </span><span style="font-size: large;">He says, "HO HO HO!!!" His four favorite Christmas songs are Jingle Bells, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. We sing them ALL the time to him!!!</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I am forgetting some other stuff he says and does, but these are the highlights. He really is the sweetest kid. I think he is going to be very empathetic. If he finds out if someone is sick, he keeps asking, "Daddy feel better?" Aaron had the flu 3 weeks ago and he still asks him if he feels better. We've had a lot of sickness in our family, so he's constantly asking if "________ feel better?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If this year was a major growth year for J, I can't wait to see what is in store for the next. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First off, Aaron had Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the 26th off, which was fabulous. We were able to (sort of) sleep in. More on that later!!!<br />
<br />
The night/morning of Christmas Eve. J woke up crying and would not go back to sleep, so he ended up in our bed for the rest of the night. Not the best for sleeping but J evidentially did sleep. (Note dark picture below.)<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We usually let the kids open first, so they can play with their new stuff. Then, the adults take turns opening gifts, so we can see what everyone got. As usual, we got some amazing gifts. We are truly blessed!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got home, Daddy read <em>Twas the Night Before Christmas</em> and J went to bed.</div>

At around 2 am, we were still up, and J started crying. J is a really good sleeper, so it was odd that a second night in a row he was waking up again. I rocked him and got him back to sleep and I went to bed a 2:30, leaving Daddy working on the kitchen. An hour later, I woke up to Daddy coming to bed with a crying J. I knew something was wrong. He just couldn't get comfortable. I started realizing it was his ear. J and I went to the couch, where he finally fell asleep on me around 6:30. J woke up at 8. I had already been on my phone looking for clinics open on Christmas Day. With no luck, I called my parents. I needed help!!! My mom suggested the ER. So at 8:30, I threw on clothes and told a sleeping Daddy. We were going to the local ER. </div>

J and I at the ER. Thankfully, no one was there, so we got right in and checked out. The weepy ear he had been tugging on was very infected. So the doctor prescribed some ear drops.</div>

A very tired mommy and J came home. J played with his Santa toy, but we didn't even open stockings or other presents. I think we were all too tired to care!!!</div>

Christmas Day we ALWAYS go to Aaron parents house. We usually spend from noon to about 8 pm. This year was different because Mimi had the flu. We thought we weren't going to go at all we she was diagnosed on Monday. By Wednesday, she was feeling so much better, so she wanted us to come over at 5 pm on Christmas Day. We had a condensed version that actually worked out great given that J was not feeling great, and I was working on an hour of sleep and a 2 hour nap.<br />
<br />
I didn't get many pictures this year.<br />

Aaron decided he really wanted to go to Grand Prairie Lights this year. I thought it sounded neat, so on the Monday before Christmas we loaded up to go check it out. Let's just say we didn't make it to any lights. The traffic was HORRIBLE!!! We ended up bailing out of line after 45 minutes of waiting and being no where near the entrance. Let's just say a 2 year old with a Leap Frog and marshmallows can only wait so long!!!</div>
<div abp="956">
</div>
<div abp="956">
We decided we will try again next year on a weeknight the first week of December. Hopefully, traffic will be considerably less. We did wait until 3 days before Christmas.</div>

This year we used a new photographer (Diana Raines Photography) for our Christmas card pictures. My parents went with us and we got some fabulous shots that we will cherish for years and years. I am so pleased with how all the photos turned out. I don't have rights to these, so I just took a snapshot of the card, so I could put it up here on the blog.</div>

This is J's 3rd Christmas, which also means his third time to see Santa. We went to Hulen Mall this year because I found out the Santa and Mrs. Claus he had his picture taken with the last two years had switched to a different mall. We really like this Santa. Plus, I like that the same Santa is in all the pictures from year to year.</div>

Unfortunately, during J's last week of school before Christmas break, he got sick with a cough. I mean cough all night slept until 10 am because he was exhausted sick. Because of that, we didn't go to his class Christmas party on Wednesday. His sweet teacher says that students that don't come to school on days of the actual party are welcome to attend. We went to his Halloween party on a Wednesday, but we weren't able to go to the Christmas party. Instead I let him sleep late and took him to the doctor. Luckily, we caught it early, so no ear infections (yet!!!). Just red nose and throat from coughing and drainage. Dr. Hull put him on antibiotics to make sure it didn't turn into anything worse. Who wants a sick kid at Christmas? Right?</div>

Because J wasn't contagious, we were still able to go to the annual family Sing. Meema hosts this every year. It includes all of her sisters and their families. It's quite a tradition. There is always food, silly games, and of course sitting around singing Christmas carols and church hymns. </div>

This year I decided to host a Christmas brunch for the ladies in our Sunday morning Bible class. This brunch had become quite a tradition for our age group as Rachel hosted one yearly. Because she and her family no longer attend WWCC. I thought I would host one this year instead. I knew our Bible class girls needed a get together. I thought maybe a Girls Night but went with the brunch idea. I invited everyone on a private Facebook invite and was super surprised giving only 2 weeks notice that 10 girls were able to come. I know how busy it is during December, so I was super pleased with the turn out.</div>

I love hosting things. Unfortunately, I don't do enough of it. I had a great time planning the menu, baking, and decorating for it!!!</div>

The Chandlers' always have an Annual Christmas Tree Lighting. On Saturday night, we went to Meema and PopPop's had dinner, put ornaments on the tree, and light the tree for the first time. My personal favorite is the peppermint floats. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Julie did an amazing job of planning a fun party with crafts, games, and a visit from Santa. There were lots of Addi's friends there. Sweet Addi broke away from her friends to spend time with her 2 year old cousin. Super sweet of an 8 year old if I do say so myself!!!</div>
