I love Christmas time...even though we don't have a lot of money to make things as great for Klous & Aysha like I would like...but that's not the point right!! That's not the real meaning of it all anyways...and it'll be good to teach that to Klous I think.
Anyways...this weekend Ryan & Klous got the Christmas stuff out of the shed...we were just going to set up a small tree again because we don't have a lot of room...and I didn't want to deal with Klous and pulling things off. After seeing how excited he was about some of the decorations we have...I told Ryan we needed to bring in the big tree...we'd move the rocking chair into Klous' room for now...and put it there. So we did...Klous had a blast...as you'll see with the pictures!!!
He was all about helping Daddy and getting it all out...he even took breaks from watching the football game on t.v.
He helped Daddy get it out of the box...
And put it in the stand...he didn't like when the branches fell and got him though!!
I think his favorite part of setting up the tree and fluffing the branches was playing with all my snowmen!! For the last few years Ryan has gotten me one snowman that's cute...usually they sing or something...so Klous had a blast with those!! I'll post a video tomorrow maybe so you can really see him dancing with them...but in this picture, he has all of them singing and dancing and he's dancing...you know...that annoying kid in Wal-Mart that pushes ALL the buttons and they're all singing at the same time...yeah that'll be Klous!!!
Today we decorated the tree...Ryan just put the lights on yesterday then we got busy with other things...so after church, we got the ornaments out...and Klous had fun doing that...Daddy helped him put this one up a little higher...
Otherwise they're all about this height...Klous could only reach so high you know!!!
Here he is dancing again :)
Klous and the finished tree...he's pretty proud of it!!
Aysha and the tree...she stared at the lights for a bit!!
She's so cute...and changing so much already...
Klous had to lay on the boppy too...he's a bit bigger then Aysha though :)
Here's the tree...well from the middle down...notice how the majority of the ornaments are in the same area...even on the same branch...we thought it was cute and funny...and couldn't change it of course!!!
This branch is Ryan's favorite...all those bells are on individual strings...but apparently Klous thought they all had to be together...because after putting them all over the tree...he took them all off...sat down on the floor...and put them all on the same branch. He hasn't touched them since...silly kid!!
That was our Christmas adventures for the weekend...hope you all are as excited and anxious for the holiday season as we are!!! Happy Holidays!!!
She's so tiny in all her clothes...
And her binki is practically the size of her face!!
She's just beautiful...don't you think!?!?!
Then my friend Amber came over and just snuggled her...and this was the adorable pose she did...so we had to get a picture!! Too cute!!!
He eve does both sides...
And uses his "nursing pad" to clean up!! Too funny!!
Just saying cheese...he didn't want me to get a picture of him burping the baby...so cute!!
And I thought this shirt was funny and very true when I saw it..."Silent Night...Yeah Right!"
He's so big compared to her...but here's our two binki babies!!
Big yawns!!!
Too cute...I just love this!!
A little "extra" thing the studio made up with the pictures...didn't buy it, but it's cute!! Look how hard Klous is laughing in the family picture!!
I LOVE this one of him...he's so handsome...and those are the puppy dog eyes that get me everytime!!! I love my baby boy!!
Handsome lil' devil!! Check out that dimple in this cheek!!
He's getting so big...I just can't believe it...
So precious...he just loves his baby sister!!
My precious little girl...I love her leg and her lips...she's so beautiful!!
Ryan had a good idea Friday morning to bring her blessing dress...thanks mom...and she looks so beautiful in it!!
I think she just looks like a little princess in this one...her expression and all!!
Aysha in Daddy's hands...she's so little!!
I love this one...I like baby feet anyways...but I thought this was a cute idea...our wedding rings on her little toes...Ryan's hand on bottom...mine on top!! CUTE!!
Ok...there you go...we don't get the actual pictures back until Dec. 17th...but now you can at least have a sneak peak!! Thanks to JJ for making me realize I could download them and save them to my computer!! I sure am a lucky girl to have such an amazing little family with 2 happy, healthy kids!!! Who could ask for more!?!?!

He even does his big cheeser smile!!!
I don't know that Daddy was too proud of this...especially since he kept wearing it because I was laughing at him...but that only lasted for a minute...guess we'll see how many other things he gets into that are "girly"...he just loves his sister!!!
He has had a few meltdowns and struggles with not having all the attention, but really he's been a great helper and big brother. If you look close at this picture, you can see the big smile on Aysha's face...just a coincidence I know, but still cute!! I sure love these kiddos :)
