Surprise Christmas Blessings

So for awhile now Mr. Man and I have been wanting to get a double stroller for the kiddos but it has never on the priority list by any means. Yesterday some friends from church came to our door with this stroller for us! I think Ari is more excited than any of us. Last night she did not want to get out of the thing. I fed her dinner in it, I put Eli in too and we played peek-a-boo, then they watched Mommy and Me in it. Almost the same thing happened today. I'll get a picture up soon. I went searching for the manual and found it retails around $660!!!

Every year our church gets products that they donate to people who need them in the community. Usually they get things like clothes, food, toiletries, etc. This year they got a ton of baby stuff. I feel so blessed that we were thought of this season.

Then I won some pretty sock yarn from The Ninja Knitter. To cool thing about this advent giveaway is the winners need to pay it forward. We're going to donate some toys, books, clothes, and food. I'd love to make some things too. So, if you have any good ideas please let me know.

On top of all this I'm training at a job that I think I'm really going to like and could open some good doors in the future.

I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed Christmas!

"Nothing Says Love Like Leather for the Holidays"

I saw this on a marquee on the way to work the other day. I don't know what to think about it. I also don't know what to think about it being 70 degrees today. Mr. Man and I also did yard work on Saturday. IT IS DECEMBER PEOPLE!!! My family is coming here for Christmas and I think I should tell them to bring shorts. I don't think I'll ever get used to no snow at Christmas.

Some good news...
**Mr. Man is done with school until February!
**As long as the cough drop I had doesn't taint my drug test I'll have a job working as a part-time bank teller! It's Thursday/Friday only and as many Saturdays I want. I can't wait to work and see people every day.

Some sad news...
**The kiddos have been sick:( I hate when they are sick. At least they don't have to go to the doctor.

Well it's time to make a TO-DO list of everything that needs to get done before the fam gets here.

TTFN!
