December in the Hansberger Household!

Wow, where did the month go? I am trying my best to catch up on blogging, but I have missed so much that I will just do a brief over view with some pictures. This month has been filled with fun Christmas and Birthday activities. We have done our best to do as many fun Christmas things as we can as a family since Gage is finally at an age where he is getting excited about Christmas. We have decorated the house with all things Christmas, we have gone as a family to see many different Christmas light displays, Gage and I have gone to several Christmas playdates where decorating Christmas cookies was a fun filled activity, as well as had a day dedicated to all things Christmas (wearing our pjs all day, baking Baby Jesus' birthday cake, Christmas art activities etc). It has been so fun to get in the spirit through the eyes of a two year old. He is so excited and every time he see's Santa he says HO,HO,HO! (Although we have yet to attempt the Santa pics cause he has a melt down, when we get close.) I just can't wait for Christmas morning. It's going to be so fun!

We also celebrated Gage's 2nd Birthday with his friends a little early. Since his birthday is on December 29th, it is so hard to plan a party right around the holidays. We decided this year we would do it on the 10th, to avoid friends being out of town/busy during the holiday break. We had a John Deere tractor party on a Friday for 12 of his closes friends. Gage was so excited. He loved blowing out his candles and singing to himself when we sang to him. We colored some John Deere coloring pages and had a very casual "playdate" type party. It was great, and Gage felt very special I think.

On another note, I am 32 weeks along in my pregnancy with Stella, which is so hard to believe. This pregnancy has gone by so quickly. I am feeling pretty good, but starting to get to the "uncomfortable stage." Sleep is not as easy, and chasing after a 2 year old, makes for a very long day. I am just ready to meet my little girl!!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and have lots of time to spend with friends and family this holiday season.

Christmas Card Pics- December 2010

Trying to play blog catch up!

Wow, where did October go? Well ours was spent moving out of our first house. We moved out last Wednesday, October 27th. We moved into a rental house until our new home is ready in March. We are finally some what adjusted and have all the boxes unpacked and put away. It's been kinda different living here, but fun since it's right in the middle of Edmond and within walking distance of so many things. There is a park at either end of our street which Gage and I have frequented several times already. In the midst of moving, we celebrated Halloween! (sorry about my lack of pictures. I had to take them with my phone, cause the camera was packed in a box which we hadn't unpacked at the time.) Before we moved, we managed to carve a pumpkin, which little man was so into. A tradition that I am sure will continue for the rest of his life at home. Gage really enjoyed Halloween this year, and actually got the concept of saying "Trick or Treat" (which he would say so quietly you could barely hear him) and he loved all the candy! He was a fire fighter for his party at school, and he was a spider for a Halloween birthday party we attended, and trick or treating. He was so cute as both.

Yesterday, we went to the new house and it has a roof! Yay! We are so excited, and it was so cool to actually walk around in the house and be able to tell what each room was. Gage really could have cared less about his room, because there was a tractor on the next lot, and he was off to the races, to go "rive" (drive) it!! Today, we spent so much needed quality time as a family on the Golf Course. We have never taken Gage, but we thought he would enjoy it and have fun driving the cart. Boy were we right!! He had so much fun! He loved driving the cart with Daddy and also getting to pull the flag, when Daddy would putt! So crazy how grown up he is these days. He's no longer a baby, but a "ig boy" (big boy as he would say)
We are looking forward to the cooler weather and holiday's coming up, and we know that these memories will be very special to us as we wait the impending arrival of our little daughter Stella Jane!! (Yes, she has a name)- Can't believe I am a little over 6 months pregnant! Time flies!
Here are a few pics of all our activities over the last few weeks!

October Fun!

Well October has started out with big bang!! The Hansberger's have been very busy with fun activities. The first weekend in October, we went to Thomas the Train at the Oklahoma Railway museum. It was a beautiful fall weekend, and a great time had by all. We really enjoyed getting to hang out as a family.

This weekend, we took Gage to the pumpkin patch. He was much more into the tractors around the place, than the petting zoo, or pumpkins. We spent the majority of our time, pretending to drive the old John Deere tractors around the patch. We got some good pics however! The next day we attended Noah's third birthday at Jumping Craze. Gage had a great time jumping in all the different things with his Daddy! Mom sat this one out!

On top of all our fun activities, we SOLD OUR HOUSE! We close on October 29th, and move to a rental house for six months until our new house is completed. We have been so busy, packing, cleaning out, and getting ready for the move. Ahhh, sometimes I think we are crazy but I know this is the best thing! Much better than having two mortgages in March!

Here are some pics of all our activities!
