Blessings

Devin & I were so blessed this holiday season. So many people gave to us. My visiting teacher made yummy French toast for us Christmas morning, family and even friends from work gave to us, and we have been blessed with so much love from Heavenly Father. We have been so fortunate to travel safely this winter, and I'm so happy that Devin and I were both able to have both Christmas Eve and Christmas day all to each other without the interuption of work. We have prayed for those that are less fortunate and those who are experiencing trials and loss, especially right now within my own family. Sometimes it can be so easy to get lost in a world of worry over the welfare of our loved one's health, safety, our job status, and how we will get through the day, but I've realized that lately with worrying so much about my husband's safety while commuting to work and back daily in the current weather conditions, that I've worried my days away. While it is important to pray for safety, it is also more important to THANK God for EACH moment we have with our loved ones, and for our own safety and for each moment of life we have here on earth to live, experience, grow, and learn and laugh. I'm SO grateful for every moment I have, and this is absolutely the best Christmas ever!

The Cuppycake Song

This song is our fave. Listen to it on Youtube. You will forever sing it to your true pumpy-umpy-umpkin.

You're my Honeybunch, Sugarplum
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin, You're my Sweetie Pie
You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop
Snoogums-Boogums, You're the Apple of my Eye
And I love you so and I want you to know
That I'll always be right here
And I love to sing sweet songs to you
Because you are so dear!

Silly Kids!

Devin and I were looking through some photos a few nights ago, and we stumbled over these beauties. I wish to be a kid again! I think Devin would have been a fun little kid to be buddies with when I was little. Although...sometimes I feel our tickle fights, and the way he calls me "MmmOOOmmm!" bring me back to childhood again!

Some Christmas Cheer!

So, can I just say that I am so psyched out of my mind for Santa to come this year! Well, not necessarily his visit and to see what he brings us, but what I am really happy about is our teensy little apartment, all "christmassy" and looking darned cute! Devin gets two thumbs up for putting up the lights (twinkling lights even!) which make me shine with gleeeee! His parents get kudos as well for letting us borrow their baby tree. Its adorable. I want to squeeze it. My mother gets the rest of the high fives for her overzealous Christmas cheer gift packages she sends us on a weekly basis which are filled with various sorts of holiday cheer. So, for you mom, as I know you will enjoy our elf-like home, I have posted pictures of each cheerful decoration! Enjoy.

P.S.~ It was about a month long process to pick out those stockings! They had to be perfect. At one point I asked Devin "Ok, how many kids do we plan on having, and we will just get them [stockings] all now!" As you see here, we settled for just the two. Maybe if I learn how to sew in the next year or two, my first-born can have a matching stocking! :)

IS ANYBODY OUT THERE!?

I think I will just post pictures from now on, unless I have something SPECTACULAR to say, like I won a million dollars, or I'm pregnant, or something along those lines because I think my mom is the only one who looks at this.....so until we get more popular...its just a gallery of the Robinsons until further notice! Enjoy...Whoever...

The LONG Awaited Visit!

Look what happens when you go on not seeing your bestie for FIVE whole months! At your reunion, she has a little thing in her tummy called Elliott Liam Brady. I am so excited for her! Crystal and Matt will make the greatest parents. Anywho, I just wanted to post these photos, because, Mum, I know you look at this blog, and I just want whoever else that stumbles upon it to see how cute Crystal's baby bump is!

It's a pretty time of year...
