Time For a Little Christmas Spirit

I haven't had any energy lately.  Blame it on the pregnancy, blame it on the sick kid, blame it on the almost all-nighters we've been pulling here, who knows. Monday, we went in for the big sonogram.  I can't lie, we were hoping for a boy, but things always work out the way they are supposed to.  Poor Shawn and Ben are going to be way out numbered. In April we will be welcoming another sweet little girl into the Tiemann home.


The big kids got these big gingerbread men to decorate from some of Shawn's coworkers/friends.  We sat at the kitchen table to decorate them one evening.







Ben came down with another ear infection which led to long sleepless nights for us in this house.


Sydney even missed school on Tuesday because Ben had us all up in the middle of the night.

Thursday, Sydney had her last day of school until after new year.  They had so much fun making and decorating "gingerbread" houses.


The kids also made special presents for their Moms and Dads earlier this month or last month.



I'm so in love with this beautiful picture they took of Sydney.


I even found a little time to get crafty.


We have been having fun with Ralphie, our Elf.  He's had a few nights where he was either so tired he didn't make the trip to the North Pole or he really liked his hiding place because he chose it again.








In all the craziness I haven't even decorated anything more than the Christmas tree.  Today, even with my awful headache, I did a little decorating at the house.






Ben had his class Christmas party today also.  I was glad he made it back to school for it, since he missed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday because of being sick.

The teacher made this ornament for him yesterday. I thought it was really sweet.


I think we are hoping to do lots of fun and yummy Christmas cookies this weekend, as a family. I'm looking forward to it.  I need the Christmas spirit, and a little slow down...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
