We had a wonderful christmas! My brother & sis-in law were here from Friday -Monday afternoon so we did all the family traditions in three days. I actually think it is better this way rather that an entire week. Friday night we went to see Narnia together while the kids went to their Nana sue's for christmas. I really enjoyed the movie!

When we got home the bake-a thon was on. As is a norm for our christmas we baked and talked about christmas' past. Then we were off to bed. Sometime around 2am.

For christmas eve we spent the afternoon with my grandmother. Her gift to us all was a song that she sang. It's a very special memory that I will keep forever! After she left we let the kids open their presents. They went crazy of course and Justus got overstimulated & grumpy.

Then on christmas morning we got up & ate quiche...then I got ready for church and slipped out when Justus wasn't looking. It was nice sit in church uninterupted. Staci and Chris came and I tried to keep quiet even though all I wanted to do was talk to Stack. We havent' had any time together yet. The music was great and the sermon short. My kind of service!

After church we stopped by Sue's house to tell everyone that we're expecting. That was fun! And then it was home for lunch. YUM YUM! After everyone settled down a little bit the adults opened their presents one couple at a time. It was faster than usual but we still didn't get done until 4pm. And then it was time for Football!

We had cheese & chocolate fondue for dinner. So good. Lots of fruits and veggies. Ummm, tasty!

The day after christmas sam & I went shopping for wrapping paper, ornaments etc. That's my way of saving for next year & having Christmas all year long. I Iike to get an early start so i won't freak out next year.

My gift this year was a new vacuum cleaner & oh did I need it!!!!! And sam got a radio controlled car (VIPER) and I surprised him for once!!! Somehow he always find out. I guess that's partially my fault. I could have surprised him about having a baby but my big mouth just couldn't wait any longer.

So there is my run- on tale of this years christmas celebration at the adams house. I've enjoyed reading about your christmas time. And I too am glad that things can get back to "normal"!

Attention, attention

I have an announcement to make...Staci & Nicole I just have to say I want to join your club in a real bad way. Wondering if I could join this pregnancy duo, is there room for me? Can we make it a trio??? Please, please, please...................

OK, ok I'll stop "trying" to rhyme. In case you haven't guess yours truly has joined in all the pregnancy madness that seems to surround us. I told Sam about a week ago & tried to keep it a secret until Christmas. You blogging budies are the only ones I was able to keep it from. (We told all the family this week & friends in town today.)

Due date???? July 21st. Exactly one month after my sister-in-law is due. And exactly one month before our friends Nathan & Traci expect their first baby. According to the calendar I am 11 weeks today & it's gone by so quickly, I can hardly believe it.

So, Merry Christmas everybody, hope you enjoyed my little secret if not my pathetic poetry skills!!! Love each of you & hope you had a very blesses Christmas!!!!!!!

Still sick

Things are exactly back to normal yet, I've washed my sheets for two days in a row now. All I can do is pray that this bug passes & that there are no lingering effects when my brother & sister-in-law get here on Friday. Since she is 13 weeks pregnant barfing wouldn't be anything new, but to have it coming from both ends doesn't sound like a Merry Christmas to me. I haven't felt all that grand today but so far no signs of sickness.

More great adventures

Well, today wasn't such a great adventure but we did go to Raliegh to pick up Staci & Chris!!! Yea, that meant I got a whole 2 hours with Stack and as is the norm we yacked the entire time. Sam drove around the airport while Justus and I went in to get Stack and her hubby. It's so good to see them!!! And just so you know I think she looks great at 22 1/2 weeks pregnant~!

I had a good time listening & sharing pregnancy memories and all the things staci is feeling. Our real adventure though happened on the way to pick them up. We had picked up biscuits to eat on the way. Justus only ate a little and I said several times that I couldn't believe he hadn't ate more. Little did I know what was around the corner.

Moments later he began to spew sausage and egg biscuit all over himself, carseat & Staci's moms car. YUK. The smell almost made me loose my breakfast too! So, we pulled over, changed clothes and cleaned up as best we could. I prayed the whole way that it was just some phelm or something that made him gag. He didn't throw up again thankfully!

Of course once we got home the other end of things got started & two baths later things have calmed down for the night. It's sad to say but I will miss the MOPS christmas party and a doctors appointment (still trying to get all the glass out of my finger) tommorrow but I really don't mind. I just pray that Staci or Chris doesn't catch whatever bug j-bean has. That would stink so bad!!!!!!!!

SOrry Stack!!!

COOOOOOkies!

Tonight is the cookie exchange & I have my 72+ cookies. It really didn't take too long. Seventy two cookies was only 3 trays full, not all that bad and I even had a few left over to send down the hatch. I made peanut butter blossoms with the kisses in the middle. Justus loves them!

So, I have 3 dozen for everyone to taste, & then three dozen for people to take home if they like them. I will come home with a plate full of cookies & a belly stuffed with sugar. Gotta love christmas!

Ice box

Well its nice & icy outside but no snow. Today the high was supposed to be 43 but it never reached over 33 degrees. Everything was coated with ice when I woke up and it rained all day. At 5 o' clock the sky turned a funky pink, a nice change from the norm. Just thought I would tell you all about my oh so interesting day with the ice... guess it really wasn;t all that interesting.

Cookie Exchange

I just got the rules for the cookie exchange, OMG what a bunch of junk! Such as, no NO bake cookies...what? Those are my favorites! If you mess your cookies up you must go to a "real" bakery & buy them. What the crap does that mean??? The instructions also said to bring six dozen.....am I made of money??? Ummmm, NO! I'm supposed to be making the peanut butter blossoms. The BIG bag of hershey kisses for the middle cost $5. There better be 60 stinking kisses in that blasted bag. Or else they will just get what they get.

I know that this isn't any major thing just thought I'd share my pessimistic thoughts.....sorry for the crappy spelling!

Hold you momma, hold me.....

My little j-bean is sick. He slept until 11:30 this morning and then went back down for a nap from 2-4pm. Holy cow, I hope he sleeps tonight. Anyways he has wanted to be held all day. Walking around saying "hold you momma, hold me." Too cute.
I think we are both getting a cold, something else to share with all you who have been sick the past couple of weeks. I hope that this passes quickly, cause as you already know ----it's not much fun!

I have a doctors appointment this friday (I have a piece of glass stuck in my finger& she has to give me a referral to some kind of surgeon who can take it out) so, if we're still sick I guess we'll pass up the whole finger thing & concentrate on breathing!

Amazing Race Finale

It's sad that all the finales are happening but I guess we just have to gear up for more great TV. I'm glad that Danni won Survivor, I think Steph. got to cocky!!!! But for tonight I hope that the florida family wins, if not them then the girls & their dad. The Linz's are too mouthy for me. What's your vote????

Christmas Parties....

I'm sure my list will be nothing compared to Staci's but to me it seems plenty. Here is the list of upcoming Christmas parties we will be involved in.

1st is the children's party my sister & I are having for a few kids. This party has been somewhat costly but a lot of fun to plan. Hopefully all will go well. It's this friday

2nd: Church staff party this Sat. night.

3rd The youth christmas party, that's the following Wed.

4th Christmas cookie exchange at our pastor's house. It's for women onlly so I'm sure that will be fun.

5th Young adult christmas party, for the young couples in the church.


EMMMMMMM I know I'm missing something but five is plenty for me!!! Oh yeah, the family get together with my grandmother on dads side, then the one with gma on moms side. Of course we already did christmas in Bama. Wish we could come again.

So, what kind of celebrations will you be part of this year??

A weekend out

Hello all. It's almost Christmas!!!!! I have a room full of gifts that need to be wrapped. Anyone have an elf I can borrow???

Well, we went to Alabama this weekend. Surprised????? No you didn't miss the memo, I didn't tell anyone b/c I wasnt sure if it would work out to see anyone. We came to see sam's family, this is the one time of year that we could squeeze out a few bucks & now we're flat broke! But that's OK.

Sam's mom & brother LOVED seeing Justus ( and us to I guess). And he recieved a multitude of gifts. It was lots of fun watching everyone interact with Justus. He gave out lots of hugs, kisses & I lub you's. We evern visited the great grandparents & j made them all laugh and giggle at the silly stuff he does.

I'm sorry that we didn't have enough time to make it to Alabaster & say hello. This trip was just to short!!!! We left Friday am & got back Sunday pm. Sam put in a lot of driving miles into a short period of time.

I've been catching up on a few Blogs & that's been fun. Nic, you never fail to make me laugh. And thanks for sharing your christmas pics Crystal. I still have to read a few more so don't be offended if you weren't mentioned. Love you all!!!!
