Sweet Potato Casserole Disaster

This post is for Crystol. Please learn from my mistakes....they may be pretty when they're in their, "red and green, star form" ...but NOT when cooked!

Santa's coming! Santa's coming!

I just started thinking about the lil faces of my children on Christmas morning and got the chills. I wanted to share with you the excitment of the Christmas Spirit from our house! I hope that you all have the itch in your belly and the twinkle in your eye....it's just around the corner now! :)

Merry Christmas!

1…2…3…you’re out!

The kids thoroughly enjoyed wrestling on Mommy’s bed…

“Jenna, go easy on Bubby”

They show no mercy on one another…

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Joshua LOVES reading to Jenna. Jenna LOVES tormenting Joshua while he reads. It always starts out sweet and innocent, as you can see…then it turns into all out WAR! :) Luckily this one ended with a KISS!! :)

I give it a couple years before she is fully able to wear him out :) Until then…It’s all in fun.

After their “make-up kisses”, they played little people house together. So cute!

Tastefully Simple

Mom and I had a Tastefully Simple Party on Saturday. It was nice having some friends over for us and the kids. Jenna became FAST friends with Melissa’s daughter Megan and Joshua rekindled his friendship with Cheryl’s daughter Cassie. The food was GREAT and the friendship was AWESOME!!!

Everyone started to leave & Jenna being the lil ham that she is, stayed at the door to wave “bye bye”.

Cassie & Joshua

Jenna & Mommy   

Nana aka “Aun-ya” “MeMe” Nay-Nay” & Jenna

Cassie stayed over to play for awhile until the movie started. Mom went with Cheryl, Paula, Cassie and Joshua to see the “Christmas Carol”. Mommy wanted to go…but Jenna isn’t old enough for a movie. Maybe next year! They had a lot of fun playing Air Hockey while they were still at the house….

Jenna joined in on the Air Hockey fun after Cassie and Joshua were finished playing. She LOVED hitting the puck back and forth with Mommy & Nana.

Born to be WILD!

I brought the kids all a little something from Snowshoe. Mom got Moose socks, Joshua got a wooden compass with Snowshoe Mountain carved on the back and some candies, and Jenna got PJ’s! They’re soo cute, I couldn’t help but to take some pictures of her in them!

Jenna loves her blankie(s)!! She usually has 2 blankies, her “bankie” (which is a tiny blanket with silk, velvet, and bubbly fabric on it) and her baby. She’s cute…her blanket is always draped around her shoulders.

precious!

Jack-O-Lantern

Joshua, Nana & I carved our pumpkins yesterday. We carved three pumpkins. Jenna and Nana did a regular Jack-O-Lantern, I made Jenna a cat pumpkin and Joshua made a really cool spider. We all had fun and nobody got too badly hurt. (I cut my finger a lil, but I survived.)

Joshua cleaning the guts out of his pumpkin. I think he enjoyed this a little too much! :)

His sister followed suit. She also really enjoyed the guts! & They both tried to eat them! HAHA

Jenna and Nana finished first. (theirs was easy!)

Our Finished Pumpkins…

The kids had a great time Trick-or-Treating with Joshua’s friend Tanner & his family. We went in Fort Hill on Windham & Weberwood Road.

Jenna was Joshua’s lil tag a long this year, until she finally started to get the concept and wanted to “trick-or-treat” with her Bubby. She figured out that those nice lil people would give her candy if she simply walked up to them and stuck out her little hand. Although, I never could get her to say “trick-or-treat”. She was the cutest clown on the block for sure! As for Joshua, he was the cutest “dead, skeleton biker” on the street also!! hehe

Fort Hill Halloween

Jenna’s first Halloween Party at school was this Tuesday.

She was so cute dressed up with her friends!

Sydney was a Pumpkin, Diana was a Skunk and Ms. Jenna was a Bumble Bee.

Sydney the Pumpkin

 

Jenna’s Purple Pumpkin she painted at school.

 

Jenna LOVED Playing with her new Play-doh!

She actually got really mad when it was time to clean up (when she started eating it). I think Joshua forgot how much he loves Play-doh too. They both had a lot of fun!
