Merry Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was fun to have it at our house. The kids loved running to get into their stockings and seeing all the gifts under the tree. I loved that we got our sweet baby boy home in time for Christmas. He is so sweet and the best gift ever.

I got an amazing purse and Santa arranged with the maids to come clean our house twice so I was super happy. Matt got a camera lens and a heart-rate monitor to help him with his weight loss goals. Rodney got the Wii and some really fun toys and clothes. Karlee got an Easy Bake oven and some cute clothes and toys. Emily got a kitchen and some clothes. We felt really blessed and so grateful. We are so blessed to have 4 healthy children. This Christmas was really special for us!

Girls night out

So Aunt Kirsten, Aunt Julie, Aunt Jentry and Karlee all went on a "girls night out" to watch The Nutcracker. Karlee was so happy. Thank you so much for taking her out and making her feel so special, she loved it.

Matt, Nate, Tom and Rodney all went and watched TRON but I didn't get a picture of their boys night out. :) They also had a blast.

Rodneys Preschool sings at Maceys

Rodneys preschool went to Maceys before Christmas and sang Christmas songs for the shoppers. It was the cutest thing in the world. I am so so so glad we were able to work it out so that Rodney could go to school. It is helping him so much. He is having so much fun!

Happy Birthday Karlee

So my little angel is 7! Seven, I can't believe how fast she is growing up! I love her so much. I love that she is just like me. What can I say I think I'm pretty fun :) She is sensitive, nurturing, a friend to everyone, she loves school and learning, she is a great help to me and really funny! She wanted to bring donuts to school and have her name written in pink frosting, so we did. Then we had a family birthday party and she wanted homemade cheesecake not the "stuff in the box." Then for her friend party she wanted a silver mist party. I have to admit it was hard for me to buy the cake toppers I always love to make the kids cake but since I am so close to my due date I just made the cake and bought the topper.

The donuts we brought to school!

Karlee with her teacher Miss Holmquist. I don't know why blogger wont let me turn these pictures but I am just so glad to have them up!

Tenaya and Mia with cool whip all over there face! They played a game where you had to find the hidden bubble gum using your mouth, it was really funny.

Rodney joined in the fun!

The Real Santa

Last year Karlee asked why are all the Santa's were different?? Well I let her know it was because the Real Santa can't be at every mall in America. He has helpers so all the kids can say hi and tell him what they want and get a candy cane. But there is only one real Santa that gives the presents on Christmas night.

Well Matts Grandma Parker was really good friends with the Real Santa. She had him come to her house every year and would see Matt, all of his siblings, and cousins when he was growing up. It has been about 19yrs since Matt has seen him. It was so fun for Grandma and Papa Broschinsky to call him and work it out for him to come.

There were 8 second cousins and it was so fun that when Santa came in he already knew everyones names. He knew there teachers names, friends names, and activities they enjoyed. He told us the stories about the elves and how he became Santa. His laugh was amazing! I was so grateful that my kids got to experience this amazing opportunity.

Thanksgiving 2010

So I am really behind in blogging but determined to catch up! Thanksgiving this year was so much fun. We had it at my sisters house and we haven't had Thanksgiving together in years. It was a blast. There was tons of yummy food and laughing. I love that picture of my mom and my girls its so cute. We also combined it with our annual Clements Christmas party where we do gag gifts and Lindsey's Birthday. We had a fun filled weekend because my parents were up and also because I was due at the end of December and we wanted to make sure we could still have the Christmas party and Lindsey's birthday party.

Happy Birthday Mason

He is here!

Mason Matthew Broschinsky arrived at 1:13pm on December 17th, 2010

Mason weighs 7lbs. 12oz. and is 20.5inches long. He has a thick head of beautiful blonde hair (just like his mommy)

Steph and Mason are doing great! Steph and I cant stop snuggling and kissing on him. He is so little compared to our other 3 kids when they were born so we find ourselves being overly careful as we hold him. The nurses bathed him and had a cute little Christmas beanie for him but his hair is so darn cute we haven't put it on yet.

Mason has already had some visitors. His brother and sisters came to visit as well as Grandma Broschinsky, Aunt Kirsten and Aunt Andra.

What a wonderful Christmas present! We are so blessed to have 4 healthy and beautiful children and we are so grateful that everything went well for Mason to be here with us. Welcome to the Broschinskys!!!
