The Ostrand's

12/3/12

This past week we spent three days in Lincoln for the Aurora Coops ACE Summit at the Embassy Suites. On Wednesday evening, we found time to slip down to the swimming pool to take Brexton swimming for the first time! We were pretty sure he would love it because he loves bathtime...we were right!! He absolutely loved it! When we got Brexton out, he didn't like having to watch the other kids play in the pool! He was pretty funny! I hope we have a natural fish on our hands!! Kara came to hang out too, so it was fun to get some extra time with her!!

Bye Bye....

...long {crazy} baby curls!!! :(

We have such a big boy now!! :) Kory has been complaining that Brexton has needed a haircut for some time now! I kind of agreed but didn't want too! Well, we were in Lincoln this past week and thought what a better time to cut than when we see Aunt Tiff! We stopped at her salon when we got to town! He had just woke up so he sat surprisingly still! He did great! And looks extra handsome now! :)

Christmas Decorating

Last Sunday, we took advantage of the warmer weather (it was cold weather compared to this past weekend!) and did some outside decorating for Christmas! Kory put our icicle lights around our whole house! They look great! I"ll try to get a picture when its dark!

We also picked up a real tree in Kearney again! We made sure to get a taller one this year, and it was just perfect! Brexton loves to look at the tree and thought he needed to help me start decorating!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Ostrand household!!

Happy {Black} Friday

This year our family took part in black Friday shopping!!! Yes all three of us....No...not all night long! :) We stayed at my parent's in Rockville. We got up at 4 am and headed to Kearney! We made our first stop at Cabelas....Kory stayed in the car with Brexton because he was still sleeping! They had been open for 30 minutes by the time we got there...the line was waaaayyyy to long to stand in for one item so we left! The next several stops we made we not too bad actually! We didn't hit any of the huge sales but saved on some things we were needing! We even made it home to watch the Husker game! Brexton did super...and I should say Kory did too!! He won't admit it, but we all had fun!! :)

Here are a few pictures of Brexton's favorite trick (sitting on his shin and foot then pulling himself up) after he got rested up from the early morning! :) Since it was the day after Thanksgiving we had to pull out the Christmas outfits! :)

Thanksgiving Day

For Thanksgiving this year, we spent the day at grandpa and grandmas house! Dad cooked a turkey on the traegger grill! It was delicious! We all had a hand in the rest of the cooking!! I think we did a great job if I must say!! :) We had a day full of eating and hanging out! The boys and mom all went over to the new shed to play basketball and Brexton got to ride on grandpa's toys and help him feed calves! Britney and I stayed back at the house and got crafty with her Cricut! It was a fun day! Here are just a few pictures..
