I had my monthly appointment yesterday with Dr. A for "lil Sully" (Isabella's new name for the baby)...last week it was Simba. Anyhow, Dr. A said I should bring Belli with me so she can "connect" and see the baby swim around and grow in my belly. She absolutely loved it.
I don't think she really knew what she was exactly looking at but she was excited anyway. Too cute.
Lil Sully is already measuring 1 week ahead of what he should be at....so fun! Doctor said if all goes well, we should expect a 9.5-10 lb baby. Good lord!
It has also been confirmed that we are having a BOY!
12 days until Christmas!!

Breakfast with Santa
My mom always has all of these great activities for the kids...okay not all are "great" example the "fair"...it was a craft fair and not actually a "carnival fair" which is what we thought when we arrived kids in tow....lol. I think after this event she has officially redeemed herself!
Even Christian came (which is odd considering he too was part of the "fair" and has lost all confidence in my mom and I). Either way, it was GREAT! The kids absolutely loved it and it was so wonderful to see their reactions. It really kicked off the Christmas season for us.
Thanks Gammy! you hit is out of the park with this one. Belli's is still talking about it! Every time she hears Jonah whine she reminds him with "Come on bud! you just saw Santa...and asked him for presents" so hilarious!
Here are some pictures of the event!
Walking in like he owns the joint!
Told you dad was there...anything for a big breakfast! :) just kidding.
Jonah doing what he loves....eating!
They called all the kids to the front of the room and asked them to shake their bells so Santa would know that they were there.....
Where is he? Looking around just couldn't figure out where the "HO HO HO's" were coming from!
I think I see him.....is that him?? 
It is him!!!! She was so happy it almost made me cry....her reaction was so genuine I will never forget it! 
"HI Santa" ........
Even Jonah wanted a piece of Santa (he literally made a mad dash for the stage) 
Singing a song with Santa.....he performed a few songs, all songs that Bellis has learned at schools so she was having a field day! 
Okay, so this is a weird picture. The had a Balloon Performer after Santa. He did lots of different things for the kids...made some serious crazy things for them out of balloons! Reindeer, snowman, Santa...it was crazy. Belli was still at the front with the other kids and Jonah and I took a seat back with Christian at the table. All of a sudden the Balloon man got eaten by his "pink balloon" see above. Needless to say, Christian grabbed the camera and took a picture. Classic.

I took 11 pictures! 11! and NOT one of them has either kid looking into the camera!! Really?? Jonah wouldn't even bend to sit on Santa's lap and just wanted to stand next to him...which obviously didn't last long! 
I'm outta here Santa! 
I'm outta here Santa! 
Finally the only one they are looking into the camera......
Merry Christmas!!! 13 days to go!
Thanksgiving!
Another great start to the holiday season!
We even took a family photo! I may have 2 in 2 years! Terrible!!
1 thanksgiving: My aunt and uncle do a large celebration at their house with all of the cousins. Remarkable out of 10 cousins (all over the age of 30) we only have 4 grand kids between us all. So, lots of adults (which is also nice) and 4 kids running around (which is also nice).
Needless to say, it was a great time and we got to have some great conversations with those we love dearly.

2nd thanksgiving: Every year Grandma Coco and Umpa put on thanksgiving at their house. It was a lot of fun and great to see how all of the kids ages 10months -15 years old interacted. The younger ones seems to enjoy playing with one another, running all over the house, in and out from the game room and the old kids....seemed to have graduated away from "the play room" and on to the couch to talk movies, latest events, etc. It is just remarkable how fast kids grow!!
We tried to do the grand kid picture...which wasn't easy...but here is the best I got....
