Every year I take a picture of the boys to put in an ornament for the tree.  This year we have so many choices!!  Can't wait to see what one is going up!  Gotta love these two. Merry Freaking Christmas Everyone!

Adopt A Family This Christmas

Image
So the boys are at an age that we can start traditions and they understand what they mean, and how Christmas should be about giving and not just the receiving. So this Christmas one thing we're adding is The Samples are Adopting a Family.   With the help of Share Our Selves we have signed up to provide a Christmas Dinner and two gifts to each child in the family.  If you want to give this holiday but your busy and can't signup you can donate old toys, book, food or money and we will hand that over to help this amazing project. (Below is the link to the website)  Also to add these are children from our community they are families with children recommended by Costa Mesa and Santa Ana Schools.   For me it brings it closer to home that there are hungry children living in our community and going to school with our children.  Love you all!!!   http://www.shareourselves.org/events/ Merry Christmas from Us

Long Time No Blog - December Run Down

Ok so I've been MIA and I'm sorry but The Samples seriously love to overload on Christmas.  We Moved before Christmas to my Grandma's house AKA the Beach.  Then had to celibate Christmas which has been named the Christmas Shuffle. -Pictures Below - So here it goes.  December 1st ish Joe and I were having our monthly budget meeting and of course I was griping about were we live.  (Dirty Carpet, School district, Couch, Kitchen, Etc.)  We always play around with the idea of moving into my grandmas house in Newport and talk ourselves out of it because well it was built in 1947.  So some how this time we took the leap.  And love it! So we went from moving December 28th to moving December 17th does anyone else move up a moving date?  Because we always do. First things first I decorated for Christmas then got the boys rooms setup. Thursday night at about 3am Jackson woke up throwing up which continued all the next day we took him to Dr. Campion...
