This year, Jason and I celebrated our 10
th wedding anniversary. We were strapped for time with the Holidays, so we took a quick trip into Chicago for dinner and hotel stay. We had planned to take a big trip in the summer when we had some more time. Well, those plans changed! We found out on the actual day of our anniversary, December 15
th, that we are expecting again! It was completely unexpected, but we are getting excited for the new addition. I am due in August, so hopefully the summer won't be the hottest and most humid on record! We told the boys on the day before Christmas Eve by giving them "Most Awesome Big Brother" shirts. At first they didn't get it. We asked them why they both would be getting big brother shirts and they decided it was because Carson is a big brother to his stuffed animals. We asked them what would be another reason. It took awhile, but finally Aidan said....You're pregnant?! They are both excited and are hoping for a little sister. We asked them why a little sister and they both answered, "we already have a brother". Very logical. I can't argue with that! Carson has decided to call the baby
Shrek for now. So we'll see if the nickname sticks when it is born!
On Christmas Eve, we had both boys wear their new shirts to see who would notice first. It took a while, but eventually, we shared our news with Jason's family. We told Heidi's family via
Skype earlier in the day.
So far I have been feeling pretty good, just really tired. So hopefully as the first trimester passes, that will pass and I can get a little energy back to get through tax season.
This year's matching pajamas were Phineas and Ferb themed. This is one of their favorite shows right now and the boys met the characters at Disney World this past summer.
This year, Carson asked for Toy Story stuff and a dancing stuffed animal. Santa brought him a new Buzz Lightyear pillow and toy story bath toys because Santa thought he already had one of everything else! He has loved Toy Story for over 3 years now and has accumulated a large collection, including a Toy Story themed bedroom.
We also got the boys the Kinect sensor for the Xbox. They love the Kinectimals game.
Aidan asked for Legos, Star Wars stuff and books. He got a new Yoda bobblehead.
Aidan also got a box of comic books. He has really enjoyed the superhero movies this past year and really has loved the comics.
Aidan loves Hockey, especially the Ice Hogs. He got a new jersey and was so excited and surprised.

All of the grandchildren at Great Grandma's house at Christmas day.
It was a little chilly, but the scenery was beautiful!
Aidan liked Bernard the Reindeer.
They also had a camel.
Aidan got some food to feed the goat. 
The goat climbed up to wait for the bucket of food.

The boys can't wait for Christmas this year. We are still hoping to have some more snow for Christmas day but the weather forecast doesn't look good.
