An Early Christmas Present For The Kids

We decided to give an early Christmas present to the kids.

It was wrapped in three layers so they each could open a part.

It took them a few minutes to figure out what in the world the gift was.

I am glad I got their reaction on video.  It was classic.  Cory kind of threw a fit because he was upset that the gift was a toy he already knew about it.

However, once they finally figured it all out, they were a bit more excited :) !!

Keri is thrilled to have a new baby in the home, but she is a tad disappointed that it is yet another brother. I think she will always have to dream for a little sister.  Though I must admit, I am excited for the close girl bond she and I will always share.  The boys seem to be taking the news in stride.

I am just shy of 4 months.  This “little flake” will make his appearance sometime at the end of April or beginning of May.

P.S.  This news obviously explains why the blogging has been even more sporadic as of late. I have been so incredibly tired this pregnancy!
