Demon Possessed Comedians...

Our children do the craziest things to make Piggle laugh. Buggers makes this crazed demented face and jumps at her which cause Piggle to erupt in laughter or just a humoring smile. She will also make weird sounds as she pops up and down on her knees just to get a little chuckle or two. Bubby's way of getting Piggle to laugh is to sound like a deranged clown at an amusement park that you press a button for it to talk. (not sure if anyone else but me will get that analogy) He will repeat the same silly phrase over and over in an over exaggerated way that will always get her to giggle. You can't help but laugh at their efforts. Most of the time I just try to grab the camera and capture it before it is over.
And here's one a little closer

Mooshie Face

I like to do this little song with Piggle called Mooshie Face. The older kids think it is so funny. Piggle goes along with it until she figured out a defense move. She now opens her mouth which prevents me from squishing her chin. I think it is so cute and funny. Hubs doesn't like it and he gets on to me when I do it. She doesn't seem to mind it

Most wonderful time of the year

Christmas time is such a great time for family. This year was a little different for us in that Hubs had to work every weekend leading up to Christmas. That put a strain on getting the shopping done with three kids in tow. But it all got done and we had a wonderful Christmas. I love traditions. I want our kids to have some Christmas traditions they can remember and cherish as they get older. This year we went over to my parents house on Christmas Eve. We had dinner and opened gifts. It was different since my sister from Illinois wasn't there with her family. So it was a small affair. We left there around 8 so we could come home and let the kids open gifts from us. It was so cute. They went from tree to tree gathering their gifts and making a stack. After they got all their presents Hubs said "Now I know why the bank account kept getting smaller!" I just ignored his claim :) They were so funny while opening their gifts. Buggers kept saying "I love it...I love it!" to everything. My favorite was when she opened her Hannah Montana slippers. She went nuts (probably because I have banned all things Hannah Montana). Bubby was hilarious too. He gets so excited and just keeps saying "cool!!! cool!!"
Hubs and I had a great gift exchange also. He got me a new camera...our old one was from when Buggers was born (over 4 years old). We doubled our megapixels and it makes such a difference! Hubs got a wide array of gifts including a wireless mouse, PS3 games, Dunder Mifflin shirt and other little things. I love buying for him. After we opened gifts, we hustled the kids off to bed with the promise of Santa's arrival. They eagerly went to bed all snuggled in their new bed tents.


The next morning Hubs, Piggle, and I all woke up to find Santa's gifts. Each kid got one (unwrapped) gift from Santa and a stocking full of "stuff". Piggle got to the tree first and she loved her toys from Santa. Hubs went in to wake the older ones and one by one they headed into the living room. One of my favorite things about Christmas morning is seeing those sleepy little heads stumbling towards the Christmas tree to see what Santa left for them.




They loved their Santa gifts. Buggers got a new bike and Bubby got a Nintendo DS and game.


I hope everyone had a great Christmas with their families!!
