Jingle Bells.. what about Wedding Bells.

So here it is... the pictures are all backwards... showing last first and first last. After the wedding and eating the kids played Wii guitar hero.... Jenna had to join in. I made the happy couple a little wedding cake.. nothing special but something fun for them to do.

My mom got them the topper so that every year they can put it out and remember their wedding... didn't go with the whole shell theme I had going on but it works :)

They wanted a wedding on the beach so I gave them shells.. its not the beach but its something.

The happy family minus one very special little boy!!! Carter MAN!

Oh.. the kiss!

Still smiling.. prior to being married... give them a year ;)

Jenna all dolled up and ready to party!

Jackson playing with Grandpa Steve...

My two little people. NOTE the tie... yes... he HAD to wear the tie again... what ever.. This mom does not fight about the little things.

Christmas Carroling with Preschool

Today Mrs. Kristi took the preschool class carroling at the nursing home. The kids did WONDERFUL and it was soo much fun watching them go all around singing. Notice.. two boys... TONS of girls...

Here is them walking through the halls singing!

A visit with Santa and Disney Live

I wish this picture would have turned out better but you can see the excitement on his face... this was WELL worth the $$ spent. It was Jacksons birthday present and I think he had fun. Disney Live was a great production with good music, great characters and kept us all entertained. The only complaint is the DISNEY STUFF they put all over for you to buy. Cotton candy.. $10... Popcorn $12.. WHAT. Barry broke down and surprised Jackson, Jenna and our friends child with these HUGE suckers...

Love the look on Jenna's face.. "I can EAT this"? Jackson just dug in!

There was a lot of music and participation from the crowds. Jackson danced, and sang and answered the questions asked by the host. Jenna danced and had a blast too. I was a bit surprised she enjoyed it soo much. Toward the end she was getting tired. I brought her PJ's with and got her changed at intermission which was great because she was SOOO tired on the way home.

Pooh got stuck it the honey hole... All the friends helped get him out. Both kids were laughing at this.

Jackson was up on his feet dancing and singing. Jenna even participated with some dancing and singing of her own.

And here is Santa and Jackson. Here is Jacksons list for Santa for this year. Go Diego Nintendo Wii game (which I put in a special request and believe that will come through), his OWN bubble gum and a race car. He also put in a request for his sister. A duck. Don't know where that came from but that was what he said.

Not much happening... Snow, cold.. we are hibernating.

Here is Jenna doing what Jenna likes doing. Jenna loves to sit in the laundry basket... this night I was at a purse party and Dad was watching the kids. She kept getting in and reading the book, get out and then get a new book. Here Barry said she was just chilling out...

This is after we were outside. Both kids were COLD and needed to warm up. We rented movies from the library and they hung out warming up watching Arthur while I cooked supper.

Here is Jenna outside all bundled up. I had to shovel the driveway and the kids played. I SWEAR they don't feel cold... they were having a blast and there were lots of tears when it was time to come in. I was ready to cry cuz I was soo cold (I am a wimp like that).

Jenna in Jacksons snowsuit.. a bit big for her yet.

Jenna Pooping...or at least trying

This cracks me up...I am trying to teach Jenna about pooping in the potty. She hides behind the kitchen table when ever she poops so it is not hard to figure out when she is going.. she is just too darn fast! Burchills, they don't mess around! It is also hard to get her up the stairs and her cloth diaper off quickly.. Anyway.. I finally got it on video... enjoy :)

GOTTA TRY THIS

Ok... you have to try this.. I have started using asprin masks again.. BOY does this work. It makes your skin GLOW. I have been having some "issues" since the miscarriage and this has really cleared things up fast. It makes your sking feel sooo good too... it exfoliates and just feels great.

Take the cheapo asprin, put a little warm water on it and mush it up.. spread it on your face and let it dry for 2 minutes..... rub it into your face softly and then wash off.. you will be AMAZED at how your face feels! Just a cheap trick for you all to try! I am all about cheap.. who has money for microderm!

Christmas Baking and 18 month check up

We have been baking for the last two days. Gingerbread cookies and secret choc chip cookies. Check out my link to my gluten free blog for pictures and details. All I can say is YUMMO! Rachel would be proud. Wonder if food network wants a gluten free spinoff!

Here I am trying to get BOTH kids to look at me so I can get a good picture of both helping me mix the batter... so I did the rabbit ears on my head... what do they do...smile AND do the same thing.. That is a "real" moment. Jackson loving me up for surprising him with a gingerbread cookie recipe that HE can eat. We had such a great time making it together.

My surprise to Jackson. These are the GF pancakes that I make but he asked for a xmas tree pancake.. WHAT. I can do pumpkins and mickey mouse... HA.. I found a cookie cutter and made ONE... that was enough to get him to stop asking for xmas tree pancakes.

Our next project...

Our weekend project. HEADS UP.. the willy wonka kit SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Frosting drips and runs..

Jenna had her 18 month check up today... 90% for weight... no surprise in my family.. 27lbs.. She is 85% for height....33" and head is 49% which is WAY better than Jacksons.. he was near 100% all the time. She is doing GREAT. NO SHOTS So mom is ok. MMR will wait for another half a year or year.. the other shot Pevnar or something like that will wait due to shortage and hep shot will wait until she is 2. Just delaying and she is doing well so far. We are all forgoing the flu shot and trying to keep healthy with vitamins and proper handwashing... less chemicals the better for Jackson at least.
