Expanding Family

This ultrasound is from the latter part of November.

Cupcake Fun

Chase decides to eat the yummy frosting off with a spoon.

Jack has never had his very own cupcake before and thinks it is the best thing invented!!!

Miss Meg savors the chocolate on chocolate:)

Christmas Day

Jack and Grandma always have fun playing with the fan on the stove.

Grandma plays Santa this year as Uncle Jim tries to figure out what's in the box?

Jack, Daddy, me, Charity and Jim pose for a picture. I feel short next to all of them!

Grandpa and Jack can't help but laugh at silly Uncle Norm.

Santa Claus

Santa stopped by Nana & Grandpa's to deliver his presents in person!!!

Jack was happy to have Zoë's help opening this giant gift from Santa.

Jack decided that Santa was a great guy after all and gave him a bear hug.

Jack and Zoë snuggled up in Thomas the Tank Engine for a little bit.

Christmas Eve

Addie, Julie, Mom and I all take a moment to pose and say "Tasquitos". Yes, my mom calls Taquitos Tasquitos (sounds appetizing)!

Grandma and Ayden snuggle up in the best seat in the house.

Jack, Zoë & Ayden all climbed into this pack 'n play for some fun.

Julie, Jules, Emily and I were having some girl time at the end of the evening:)

Christmas Eve morning

Jack was super excited about his new work bench from Auntie & Uncle Donald.

We should have hid this gift because he was NOT interested in anything else:)

Sugar Cookies

Jake loves sugar cookies and Jack loves anything with sugar in it...so, they made cookies together.

Jack was very interested in Daddy's rolling/cutting techniques.

He enjoyed helping cut out cookies.

The finished product was even sweeter since he had a hand in making the cookies.

Sink Play

Jack turns around for a quick moment to wave a hello:)

He then gives me a big CHEESE!

Winter Blast '08

The beauty and serenity of the fresh fallen snow was breathtaking.

Being home bound for a couple of days was kind of fun. The first few days, that is.

I'm tired of the snow and do not want to see any more of it until next winter! The car was buried for 8 days!!!

Winter Blast

Oh, the beauty and serenity of white glistening snow.

The accumulation was crazy! I can't remember having this much snow in town EVER.

I miss the rain and do not want to see another snow flake until next winter. The Prius was buried for 8 days!!!

SCAAAAAAARY

Jack loves to help me with chores around the house and recently figured out how to climb into the dryer.

Children's Museum

Katy & Sean met us at he Children's Museum for a morning of exploration.

Jack LOVES the water tables!

He is an excellent shopper but is compulsive like his father.

The Dig Pit is a huge hit and always a lot of fun.

Winter Warmer

After several hours outside on a brisk winter day Jack and I savored hot cocoa.

Jack gulped his hot chocolate with much enthusiasm.

He finished his and had a 'stache before I had a chance to have ANY of mine!!!
