Christmas

My parents brought the kids back on Wednesday night the 23rd and stayed to have Christmas with our family. On Christmas Eve, my Mom and I braved the stores and did a little last minute shopping....NEVER again. It was crazy! Then we took Grammie and Papa to see The Princess and the Frog! Just what they wanted to do I'm sure!:) Then we came home, read Luke 2 and did the nativity and sent the kiddos off to bed.

Mia, Sam and Max in there Christmas pj's

Papa and Grammie got Max a red rider bb gun....he's actually pretty good at it, and hasn't shot his eye out....yet!

Santa brought Max a leapster. After playing it for about 10 minutes he told me his neck was hurting him! All I could think about was when Katie and I played the nintendo for so long that our thumbs got sore....ok maybe Kates didn't play it so much but I did! :)

Mia got a kitchen from Santa. She also got the whole pack of princess barbies from Papa and Grammie and Grandpa Christensen made her this doll bed. She is complete heaven!

Papa and Sam all tuckered out after the present opening.

Merry Christmas!

Baby Sam

This is our newest addition. Sam Paul Christensen was born on December 15, and weighed 8lbs 6 oz, and 21 1/2 inches long. I'm so glad he's finally here, and soooo glad to not be pregnant anymore! My labor was long but he was worth every second!

My parents sat around w/ us for like 8 hours until I had him! I'm so glad they got to be there, even though they were exhausted!

He had some bruising around his little mouth

Here he is hanging out at home with Jay and I. My parents stayed at our house for a few days and then took Max and Mia to there house for almost a whole week....we didn't know what to do with ourselves, we were actually kind of bored. Grammie is the champ because while she had them she potty trained Mia! I don't know if I can EVER repay her for that! He is such a good little baby, and were so thankful to have him in our family. Max and Mia love him to death, and are so excited to have a new little brother. Jay got to have 2 whole weeks off and went back to work today.....hopefully I can get adjusted to our new life and get with it!
