4th of July

Nope, I don't have the Holiday mixed up, just wanted to let everyone in on the big news. Mike and I are expecting our forth baby - due July 4th! We are really excited, (and maybe a little nervous) but looking forward to this summer when we can meet the next little member of our family. Below is a frame that Mike and I got to announce to our family. It was really fun!

Santa

We had the Frenette family Christmas party last week, and of course the highlight of the day was seeing Santa!

Emily was so excited to see him, quickly told him she had been a good girl and wants Disney's Princess and the Frog DVD. She didn't quite understand when I told her it wasn't on DVD yet.

Brett on his best behavior. When Santa asked if he had been good he didn't miss a beat before saying, "Yep!" Although his mom might beg to differ, I know that he tries. He asked for a "Life Saver". Luckily Santa understands 4 year old lingo and said, "Oh, a Light Saber?"

Savannah was really excited to see Santa, that is until he called her name. I think she was just hoping she could slide right off his lap, and run back to safety! She was really excited to get a present though, and told him "thank you" when he had left. It was such a fun party, I loved seeing all of my cousins and their kids. Wow, only a few more days until Christmas!

Family Pictures

My sister Jenny took these family pictures - didn't they turn out great? For those of you who didn't get our Christmas card, Merry Christmas! And thank you for your friendship.

Setting up the Christmas Tree

First of all, I can't believe how far behind I am in blogging! It seems crazy that there are only 12 more days until Christmas!
We were able to get our trees on my Birthday, thanks to my friend Bobbi for working my shift at work :) We have two trees, one upstairs and one downstairs. I will have to show some pics later. When we went to the tree lot to get our trees, we realized that we had forgotten our camera! So, here are some pictures of us decorating.

Brett had so much fun this year, although we had to keep reminding him that there are other branches on the tree beside one that needed decorating.

Emily kept trying to find the perfect spot for each ornament.

When we brought the tree into the Living Room Savannah looked both surprised and confused, she wasn't sure what we were thinking with our new decorating idea! Once the tree had lights on it though, she got excited. Now every morning we have to walk past the tree. She will tell me it is "preeee (pretty)" and give me a hug and a kiss. We are getting excited for Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was such a great day. I thought it was funny because Brett was counting down the days until Thanksgiving, which if you know Brett is pretty interesting because the kid doesn't eat! Anyway, he enjoyed a roll, some olives, water and M&M's instead of the pie. Sounds like a 4 year old feast! My kids said their favorite part was eating pie under the table, hey, whatever makes you happy! We had it at my parents, thanks again mom and dad for the yummy food and great company! We made Indian hats for the kids, which they loved and pretty much ate and relaxed. It was a great day. I am so Thankful for my wonderful life, my husband and kids and the rest of my family. I am surrounded by so many amazing people. Also, my great friends. Thanks everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
