But just for a minute:(
Our computer is SICK!
Looks like it may have a dead internal battery... sighhh!

But on a happier note, my great gal pal Mammarazzi emailed me that I won this A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E headband from a bunch of giveaways on her blog...

Hi there!!

Hi dolls!
Happy New Year!

I am without a computer right now so I'm missing out on sharing so much with you and seeing what you all have been up too:( 
Our home computer isn't working and I was able to log on at work (shhh!!)
Just wanted to say HI and that I miss you all!

I'm going to try to hook up my old clunker pc tonite at home and see if it still works; wish me luck!

Hope to be chatting with you all soon!

Our Christmas... wrap-up!

Hope you all had an amazing Christmas!
We had lots of fun things we did leading up to the big day as well :)
The boys and I made Salt Dough Ornaments, got the idea from my girl Jen!
We used Martha Stewart glitter to sparkle them up!!

Our cookies for Santa were made by me; I used a Spritz cookie recipe but made them as cutouts instead of using a cookie press. I LOVE how cute the stockings came out:)

The boys were all snuggled in their beds while...

...Visions of sugar plums danced in their sleepy heads:)

Stocking were hung on the "doorknobs" with care...
in hopes that St Nick soon would be there!

Santa tiptoed in and out of the "K" house that night...
And surrounded the tree with goodies for 2 sweet boys ♥

Guess what time we got up?

Yep 7:34 AM!
Our oldest boy was up every 3 hours that night, telling me he couldn't sleep cause he was SO excited that Santa came! He wanted to get up at 6 am!
I told him NO he needed to get more sleep, lol!


It was even too early for kitty Oscar!
He could barely open his eyes :)
(love this pic!!)

Opening stockings was first, Gage was VERY sleepy too...

But loved all the treats Santa left him.

Next he unwrapped the gift he made us in preschool...
He never even told us what it was... I was so suprised!

Isn't this precious!!??
I had tears streaming from my eyes, I loved seeing those lil baby feet painted on that carpet square ♥
It made me realize what a BIG boy he is now; and its his first Christmas gift he made for us!!

Still sleepy but super excited for his Zhu Zhu pet!

Gavin liked his new pjs and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" shirt.

The best gifts of all...
ANYTHING Toy Story 3!!

Gavin checking out his Discovery Kids Learning Laptop..
I thought he'd REALLY like this but so far he's not impressed:(
He's 9 1/2 going on "15" and wanted a REAL laptop!
Ha! NOT in our BUDGET bud!


Each boy got a block maker/shovel for Snow Play...

Big bro got his Paper Jamz guitar and let me tell you...
HE ROCKS IT OUT!!

Boo boo loved the Thomas trains he got:)
Aren't his pj's too cute?

Gav was OVERJOYED that he got his Perplexus game; to "challenge his brain".. as he said!

happy for his DS games... he really wanted iCarly2 and got it:)


More choo choo trains...

Gavin got his first snowboard and was SO excited!

Gagie was sooo happy he got his Toy Story 3 sled!!
He said " I saw dis at Meijer and weally wanted it!" ♥ him!

Hubz was overjoyed with his GAG gift...
a toilet plunger, lol!!

On a more serious note, he loved his big gray wolf slippers, Rolo candies and his Pampered Chef Mandolin for slicing :)

...................................
I got a GREAT gift from hubz... a new camera!!
Its a Canon Powershot with ZOOM... yes it ZOOMS!!!
Looooved it!
Momma's not in pics on Christmas morn ever since I'm the photographer and my hair is sticking up in all different directions, hahaha!

I will have some more pics to come from Christmas with my in laws and with my family:)

Thanks for visiting me today ♥

Christmas Wishes ♥


Wanted to pop in and wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

*I have been laid up a bit this Christmas break; I had Laser Surgery on my right leg last Friday for my varicose vein/blood clots issue. I am feeling sore but its healing well. I haven't been blogging because sitting for a long time with my legs down is uncomfortable:(

Hubby and I spend Monday morn together, had breakfast and finished up our Christmas shopping; my 32nd birthday was yesterday!
I had a dentist appointment and found out I need a root canal, a crown and a dental implant... sheesh! I also went to the eye dr and found out I am getting glasses; EXCITING birthday I know, lol!!

But it was topped off by dinner with my mom and 2 great girlfriends:)

Tonite I have TONS of wrapping to finish; we "do" Christmas with our boys on Christmas Eve mornin' then celebrate with dinner at my moms in the evening!

Then on Christmas Day, we head to my mother in laws in the morning and father in laws in the afternoon... VERY VERY busy!
But I know I will have some precious photos to share with you in a couple days!

Love you all and wishing you a Merry Christmas ♥

Love,
Noelle
