Like Mommy like son :)

Yay I'm thrilled it finally got cold enough to pull out some cute furry winter clothing. I think I'm one of the only people I know who adores cold weather. Kal-el's fur hat is getting lots and lots of play this season and he's only had it for a week. I've got to try and locate some more! The one I'm wearing is from a photoshoot a few years back dont even know where the thing is...but hey who says Mommies and their little guys cant dress alike! Now if I can just talk Chris into wearing one ...how fly will we all look? lol :)

Super is crusing!

Walking is offically just around the corner. Kal-el is "cruising" now as they call it. This usually means that walking is a few weeks if not days away! He pulls up to literally everything now which meant Chris and I had to move extra fast on baby proofing! Luickly the cabinet locks made it on just in time which is apparently his new favorite pull up spot. Wish us luck walking will be a brand new realm and I have a feeling its going to make crawling seem like it was a breeze lol.

Merry (Kal-el's First) Christmas!

The big day finally arrived. Kal-el's first Christmas! Since he is 9 months old and not capable of understanding the true meaning just yet it was all about fun and toys this year for super. We started the morning early and called Poppa over so he could watch Kal-el open his gifts. Chris, Mimsy, and I also exchanged gifts during this time. Kal-el was the most fun to watch of course but I was a little surprised that he didnt go totally nuts with the wrapping paper like I expected. He was more interested in checking out his presents. We tried not to over do it too much but he did rack up I must say. I dont feel too bad b/c he did get alot of educational and bilingual toys which we are pretty big on. After gifts were opened I had to hurry up and bake my Oooey Gooey pumpkin butter cake for our Christmas feast next door at Nannie and Poppa's which usually always starts at noon. I had just enough time to jump in the bath and wash my hair with my new philosophy bath products Chris bear bought me. Red velvet cake was the wash of choice as I felt it was most festive for Christmas! Even though it was hard to say no to the Fresh baked apple pie and Pumpkin spiced muffin lol I'll probably take 3 baths a day now lol. I hurriedly got dressed and put on some beautiful new pave hoop earrings and a new purple guess purse courtesy of my sweet Mommy for Christmas. We loaded up all of Super's gear. Thankfully we only had to walk next door this year. It is so nice having Nan and Pop living next door. The whole family was there. Nannie, Poppa, Me, Kal-el, Chris, Mimsy, Aunt Shane, Uncle Raymond, Zach, Lea, Aunt Vicki, Harold and finally my cousin Jon-Thomas who I had not seen in about two years. He got to meet Kal-el for the very first time. We all enjoyed some way too good food then it was time to exchange some more gifts. We all had a very good laugh this year. Nannie and Poppa have always wrapped a small gift under the tree and then give the kids a card with some spending money well this year EVERYONE got a small wrapped gift of the same nature. UNDERWEAR! Mine of course was a Christmas thong. Oh boy I can never say they are out of touch. We played dress up for a few minutes and took pictures. Sorry Kal-el sometimes we can be a little embarrassing but you will never be bored sweetie! The rest of the evening was spend doing alot of relaxing, talking, and just enjoying family. This is what Christmas is about. We are so much more fortunate than so many and that would still be true if there weren't a single gift to open this year. I'm so humbled by the fact that we all have each other, our health, and a place to call home. I cant wait to share the true meaning of Christmas with Kal-el has he gets older. This year couldnt have been anymore wonderful. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

It would seem as though I'm doing by the hour play by plays but I really just want Kal-el's first holiday season to be well documented. Today I got off of work a little early and headed home to begin the holiday festivities with my beautiful family. We exchanged a couple of gifts early and got to work on the baking in preparation for the big day tomorrow.

Christmas Eve Eve...Family trip to the movies!

Last night Chris and I took Kal-el and Mimsy to see a movie. I was so pleased with our selection. Avatar exceeded all expectations that I had for it and I went into thinking it would be really good. When we arrived we didn't realise that the movie was being shown in 3d so we had to all purchase the glasses that came along with it. What a treat! We arrived a little early so we went into the little game room and hopped in the picture booth and played a few games. We headed into the theater just in time for the feature to begin. I must say that this movie was not only one of the most enjoyable movies that I have ever seen but the most touching as well. It was an absolute visual feast. Very one of a kind movie. It did exactly what going to the movies are supposed to do to you. Make you feel better than you did when you arrived. We all felt very fuzzy. Kal-el was so "fuzzy" he decided he would sleep for the entire 3 hours. He is the best baby to take out. We love going to the movies its one of our favorite past times as a family!
