A Budding Artist!

Emily drew a pretty good mouse on her DoodlePro. So we had to take a picture of it.

See, its a mouse!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

Emily woke up, excited to see if Santa came. And he did! She had so much fun opening up all her gifts...especially her prized Cinderella game that she repeatedly asked Santa for!

Jimmy...well, we had to wake him up to open his gifts. Which he just didn't want to do! He was more interested in eating the wrapping paper!

Then, in the afternoon, Michelle & Laura showed up to open gifts...followed by Jim's parents. We all had a fun afteroon. My parents showed up shortly after and we all sat down for dinner.

Overall, it was a wonderful day! We hope everyone had a very Happy Holiday!!

Snow!!!!

We woke up to a blanket of snow! Emily couldn't wait to get outside to play in it. We reminded her that she HATED the snow, but she was convinced that she wanted to play in it.

So, we dressed her up and out she went... She loved it!

Jimmy decided to stay in the nice warm house with Mommy!

Santa...Take 2!

Michelle & Laura invited us all up to visit with Santa at the Clubhouse. We got up there early so the girls could play a bit and then headed out to the Party!

It was wonderful!! We all had so much fun! We sang Christmas Carols, made ornaments, got face painted and best of all...a visit with Santa! Emily and Laura did great with Santa. Jimmy...not so much!

Maybe next year.......

An Apple A Day....

Jimmy had to go to the pediatrician for his 1 Year Appointment. Overall, it went pretty well. He had to get 5 shots and we have to take him for blood work. Dr. Scott was happy with all the things he was doing....even though he kept teasing Dr. Scott with High-5's.

His stats are....
22lbs. 14.5oz.
30 inches long

At 12 Months, Emily's stats were....
22lbs. 6oz.
28.5 inches long

How is THIS comfortable?!

Off to get a Christmas Tree!

Today was also our annual trek across county lines to pick out a Christmas tree! We found this place the 2nd year we were married and its become a tradition to go there every year.

Going there this year brought back some memories.... Last year we got our tree November 24th. Now, you'll remember Jimmy was born November 25th. So, shortly after getting our tree last year I went into labor!

This year, Emily picked out the tree herself! And it was actually a very nice tree! She did a good job.

Here's a picture of Emily with the tree...the dog got in the way!

He sees you when you're sleeping....

Today, we took advantage of the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Lafayette Village and went to see Santa. Unfortunately, tons of other people thought the same thing! We waited over an hour and a half to see Santa and Mrs. Claus...in the freezing cold!

Emily did pretty good and told Santa what she wanted. Jimmy....he wasn't too sure what was even going on! But he didn't cry!

Worlds of Fantasy!

Today was our annual trip to Disney on Ice! This year the theme was "Worlds of Fantasy". It was Cars, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Tinkerbell!

We got there an hour early for the Princess Pre-Show. All the Princess costumes were there and Cinderella even made an appearance!

Emily just loved it! Jimmy got antsy during Tinkerbell, but overall he sat pretty good for over an hour!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We went to Michelle's and there was tons of food and conversation. We all had a wonderful day!

Happy 1st Birthday Jimmy!

I can't believe that you are 1 year old already! Where did the past year go?!

You went from this....

To this.....

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!! We love you very, very much! Love, Mommy, Daddy & Big Sister Emily!

That's So Magic!

Jim took the kids to meet Michelle & Laura at Pizza Hut. Abby Cadabby was going to be there!

Emily just loves her and was excited to see her! She even wore her Abby shirt!

Jimmy was not thrilled that Abby was coming within 10 feet of him. Apparantly, he would actually stare her down to make sure she wouldn't come near him!
