Helping words to get through life

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' "

Bring on Christmas!!!

Ok so we are not starting with the Christmas post just yet but this was too cute not to put up. Keyton had a really bad cough last week and need the Humidifier in his room. Brezlyn has loved it one every night to sleep with. So when I moved it into Keyton and Paisley's Room she woke up mad and scared. I let her sleep with Paisley the first night to ease her into sleeping with out it.

Cute pic of the girls in the same bed. She did good and stayed in bed with out falling out.
The only thing is she woke both kids up right at 7:30am...did not like that at all.
Now on to the Christmas side of it all. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with My Mom's side of the family. We even had some of the family from Alabama here for the holiday and it was wonderful to see them also.
We made Keyton some Gluten free Banana bread, sweet potato casserole, an apple pie for me, and Tryon's fav. jalapeno poppers. So glad we made the first two for mister Keyton because there was not much he could have.
We did miss seeing Tryon's family this year and we where sad we could not make it up to see everyone with it being their turn for Thanksgiving. Tryon's schedule and money did not let us make the trip this year. We really wanted to see the other two girls in the family who are also Prego like us. Katie and Brazos are due in April, Tahj and Glenn (newly weds) are due in May or maybe June, and we are due in June maybe May. Would have been fun all of us together with baby bumps!!

Keyton wanted to wear his Christmas shirt a few days before Thanksgiving
And everyone has been so excited for the Christmas season.
Paisley and Brezlyn looking cute in there all matching outfits!!!
Love this one and they are so sweet together.
Now on to start the Christmas season...We decided to put up the Tree the day before Thanksgiving on Tryon's day off. We had gotten a new pre lit tree at a garage sale this summer for only $25 and we where all excited to see the new tree up and to make sure it worked. It did thankfully and the fun of finding all the ornaments, places for all the new dec. we got after season last year, and having fun with Christmas music playing. This year was Brezlyn's first year to dec. the tree and she was so so excited about it. To the point she has gotten in trouble now for taking things off and finding new places for it. She has now stopped that and loves everything Christmas.
Paisley organizing the ornaments into who gets what LOL.
She thinks she is the boss now over her younger sibs.
Keyton putting on a snowflake!! He had so much fun this year and I love that
He likes to find just that perfect place for it. So cute
Little Bee having a blast getting to be one of the big kids
She did good better than I thought she would being so young.

Daddy Helping Brezlyn reach the top to hang so stuff.
Keyton Loved standing on the step stool to hang them just a little higher
Bee loved to put the character ones on like Elmo, frosty and more
Paisley with the ornament she picked out last year. Daddy
Helping her get it in just the right spot
Tryon had to do most the top of the tree this year. I could not reach...Oh yeah did
I say it is a Nine ft tree this year!!!!
Love it and love how much Christmas it is!!!
Tryon putting on the topper that yes touches the celling LOL.
Paisley found our Santa hat and was being cute running around in it!
Now time for out door lights!!! Tryon did most of the work while we played outside.
I did help with the bushes and the trees but that's about it!
Our tree up and looking good that night after we where done for the day.
Our first year in a long time to have outside lights!!!
The bushes in the front cover the whole side of the house and
flash so that is why it looks like there is not that many of them.
Love the house all lit up!
Tryon and I did hit the Black Friday sales this year!!! Now we are done with shopping all around for Christmas. I just have to finish making the things I was making for family and maybe pick up a few outfits for Brezlyn but other than that we are done!!! Love being done with shopping this early so that the season is not tainted with stress of crowds and looking for pres. We are so excited for Christmas to come and the kids are already asking how long til the day. Think I am taking a friends Idea and wrapping up a Christmas books and letting them open one each night to read til Christmas!!! Seems like a good way to show them how many days left and a fun tradition in the making. Of course we will do a Christmas craft to add to the decorations we have and more things to do before Christmas morning.
We are all doing well and the kids are so sweet about the baby on the way. They kiss my belly all the time and love on it...Oh yes I am already showing bad!!! I look like I did at 4 months with Paisley!! I am shocked and people are already asking all the time when I am due...then comes are u sure its not TWINS! No I am not sure it is not twins and would love that if God blessed us with Two at once. I have always wanted to have twins and always wanted them to be my last babies of the bunch. Yes sadly this will be the last preg. for us. It hard to say this is coming to an end but I really dont' think my body, money could handle another round. Also I always wanted the one above them to be over 2 and Bee will be 2 1/2 when the baby comes so everything would be perfect for that but I am not getting my hopes up. I am more tired than I ever remember being with the other 3 but my first trimester is almost over so I should get some energy back soon. I do feel prego and already fill those pains of growth you have! I am ready to have a sonogram but that will be a few more weeks before we get one of those...then I will know LOL.
