Tis the Season...To be busy...

Our busy week began on the 9th when Aniston was born, and then the 10th was my Mom's birthday which we all spent in and out of the hospital seeing Angela and the baby. Then the 11th we had my Work Christmas party. They had it at a fancy County Club on the East side. They served a very nice dinner and gave out hysterical gag gifts to each employee...But by far the best part of the evening was a hypnotist. My good friend and co-worker Sierra was one of the 7 to be hypnotized. I have known her for almost 12 years so I have seen the crazy side of her personality but a lot of people haven't. She was a body builder, surfer, the leader of the Village People and in a marching band. At the end of the night my cheeks and stomach hurt so bad from laughing at her and another kid named Ryan. He did a perfect reinactment of the Napoleon Dynamite dance that had everyone almost rolling on the floor. Our Christmas parties are usually quite fun but this one will be very hard to ever beat!

Then Friday the 12th we had a small get together at our house for my very good friend Tina's birthday. It was fun hanging out and seeing her kids, which always crack me up.

Saturday night we had a Christmas party with another group of our good friends at Jaron and Andreas house. They cooked a delicious meal and we also got to see all of their kids and how big they are all getting. We were the only couple out of 7 that did not have at least one kid, and we are not even the youngest!

Later in the evening we had to bare the snow and head to Alexis and Aspen's dance performance. They both did so good and were adorable!! After all 3 of their dances we headed back to the party and enjoyed the rest of the night catching up with our friends.

Sunday we all gathered at Tysons parents house to trade presents. I got "The Host" from Tyler and Aubree which I can not wait to read. We had to gather a little early this year because it is Tai and Coby's year to spend Christmas with her family. After that we had the Stalder (Ty's Mom's side) family party as well.

The last night of the fun was Monday the 15th, Alexis's 8th birthday we just visited at my brothers house and had cake and ice cream. I love the picture above because it is a perfect Alexis and Aspen moment.

Angela has been lucky that Aniston can sleep right through the craziness of her big sisters! Now we have nothing... and we do not til Christmas Eve..but I will enjoy the few days of feeling like I get something done. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays like we are and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!

Just some more pic's of the girls from the long day...(Read post below first)

ANISTON IS HERE!!!!!

Aniston Blymiller savely arrived today at 8:26 in the morning. She weighed almost 2 lbs more than Aspen at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches long. We were all caught quite off guard by her looks, she looks identical to my brother (Matt) nothing like Aspen did. She is dark skinned, has the most hair I have ever seen on a newborn and it is jet black. I really hope it stays so dark because it is a gorgeous color.
We are all so happy for my brothers growing family and I am so excited to have another addition to my nieces. I also wish them luck in the weeks to come, because Aspen is going to take some time to get used to the new addition. She wants to as she says "Pet" the baby every second and thinks the world is ending everytime she crys. She is so happy to be a big sister but a little to enthusiastic about it for all of us to handle. Alexis is a little more non-chalant about the change but still excited to have a new baby sister to help take care of. Aniston's doctor said she came out with a face full of makeup already, she has some dark birth marks but they are already quickly fading.(It really does look like she has full layer of pink eyeshadow on.)

Aniston and Uncle Ty Ty, so cute you just want to kiss her face!

While Angela is in the hospital with the baby I have volunteered to take Alexis for a few days to help out and my Mom has Aspen. I also volunteered to take both girls to dance which I just got back from And....all I have to say is Angela is a VERY brave and patient person to go through that every week. To many whiny parents and screaming kids for me! Sometimes I really wonder if I am built for the whole motherhood thing. I love having Alexis and helping her with homework, taking her to school etc. but propts to all parents because it is kind of exhausting. (not that I have to point that out to any parent ..Right?) So overall a very busy but exciting day!! I love my nieces more than anything and now I just have three to brag about non-stop instead of just two........
