Lincoln's first Christmas is over

Well we enjoyed Lincoln's first Christmas. He got a TON of great toys and clothes and some books. He got passed around and loved every minute of it. We went to Bryan's god fathers house for a little bit on Christmas Eve. Lincoln got a huge teddy bear there. Then we woke up with him on Christmas day and he did his stocking and played with some toys. Then we went up to Big moose and spent the night there with my sister and rob and the girls and Ida of course and we opened gifts there. Then on Friday we all went to see my dad and the girls and we went to our Grandparents house which I haven't been to in years. But it was fun and everyone loved seeing Lincoln. We woke up on Christmas day and he got his FIRST TOOTH!!! Its on the bottom and it looks super cute on him. The one next to it is starting to come through too. They grow WAY to fast. Tomorrow for New Years we are going out to dinner with our friends who are expecting their first baby this spring and other than that we are staying home on New Years Eve cause we got Lincoln now and we never really did do much. Well 2008 has been a GREAT year and I hope everyone else had a happy '08 and has just as a happy of an '09. Happy new year!!

Christmas is getting closer

Christmas is getting closer and like every year, I feel unprepared lol. I have been able to do some online shopping while Lincoln is napping so that's been good. The wreath business has gone crazy this year. So far we have made over 200 wreath's. It has been a lot more busy since last year. It is neat to have a business and to watch it get bigger every season. I woke up this morning and did what I thought was going to be all my christmas cards. I ordered 30 thinking that was gonna leave me with some extras but nope I ran out and so I had to order some more. Lincoln is teething so he has to wear a bib a lot because he just soaks through his shirts if he doesn't. Last night was his second night out of our bed and sleeping in the pack n' play. Last night was his first full night and he did great. When he sleeps through the whole night then he will go in his nursery but for now he is in our bedroom in the pack n play where he is easy and fast to get to when he is crying for food in the night. He has a jumperoo that he had no interest in before but the last few days the horse is his favorite. He gets in there and he starts jumping like a crazy man...he is still to short to reach the floor so he has a pillow underneath but he is so into it. He has started to shove toys in his mouth and eat his shirt and lean for toy's so im hoping he is fine. I have to wait till after thursday to find out when he has to go to that specialist because the doc office has been blowing me off for two weeks now and they said the doc was out til thursday so i am just waiting more.

Thanksgiving over and ready for Christmas

Lincoln's first Turkey day was fun. It was our first time having Thanksgiving at our house and we had 8 people plus Bryan's mom's dog so in our tiny house that was a party. Bryan's sister did most of the cooking and I made Deviled Eggs, Beer bread, and a Spinach and Herb dip which was a big hit! We all ate and chatted and Lincoln got passed around then after everyone went home Bryan, Linc, and I went up to Big Moose and spent the night with my sister Jen and her husband rob and the kids. Now that turkey day is over we are so busy with Christmas Wreath orders. We had 100 to make for the Remsen Band and when that order is done we have to make over 200 for Candella's Market in Marcy so my front room is filled with balsam and wreaths a bows. We spent all day Sunday Making 100 bows for the band order. We moved the machine into our front room with the cement floor this year so that we wouldnt have to go to Barneveld and freeze in the unheated stand to make them. It is a LOT nicer.
