More 25 Days of Christmas...

Jet has LOVED the 25 Days of Christmas!! Each morning he wakes up and first thing he wants to do is draw from the basket :) AND take a loop off of the chain..to count how many days are left until Jesus Birthday!! 

Below he is painting some ornament sun-catchers! He then put them on his tree in his room :)


Below he is putting stickers on his own Christmas trees then we put them on his bathroom mirror!! 



Today he has drawn to Watch a Christmas movie and eat popcorn!! So we will be doing that tonight as a family :) Later this week we are going on the Christmas Express Choo Choo!!! Its just like the Polar Express.....dress up in Christmas PJ's and take a train ride....Santa and Mrs. Clause get on board 5 min into train ride along with the elves! They sing carols, perform skits, serve cookies and hot chocolate and spend time with each child individually!! I'm not sure who is more excited.....mommy or Jet!! :) 



Below is Jet's room.....his wall of art :) I framed some of his art from school this year so far....he is very proud to show people :) 

Happy Monday!!

Landon is 2 months!!


Landon is 2 months old!! He is getting so big and he is so sweet and laid back :) The only time he is fussy is if he is really hungry!! lol We had a fabulous photo shoot the other day in his crib...pictures are below! He has his 2 month checkup tomorrow, he will get his shots :( and I'm anxious to see how much our chunky monkey is weighing now! 


Love these little feet!!!!




Jet is such a GREAT big brother!! He is so sweet with him :)

Our Church's Ladies Event!

Our church hosted their annual Ladies' Christmas Event Friday night and I attended for the first time- I helped with music part of the evening and decorated a table for the dinner! It was an awesome experience and I'm so glad I did it!! Aunt Bon Bon helped me with my table and we had a lot of fun doing it- pictures below :) Also, my sister Jackie was here and she enjoyed the dinner program too! I helped put the music program together....the children sang a few songs (jet performed!) and then several ladies performed too. It was a beautiful evening! 

My table for the event! 25 ladies volunteered to decorate a table!

Landon was smiling for everyone!!


My sweet little santa :)

It was a special evening and I really enjoyed getting to know a lot of women at the church...I look forward to helping out with more events in the future!! There was nothing sweeter than seeing Jet on stage singing Jingle Bells either :)

Emmie's Visit & Jet's Class party!

Emmie came to visit this past weekend! We had a lot of fun.....we went to see Santa at the mall, made Christmas cookies, and just played around the house! 

Emmie & Landon :)

Jet did really good with Santa...he even told Santa what he wanted for Christmas...a bowling set!! However, Jet thought that he would get to leave with the toy he asked for :( so we had a small fit but it quickly passed! 

Over the weekend, we also had our friends over that have twin girls- they are all in school together. We did a Christmas craft and the kids had so much fun! It turned out so cute.....we made a Christmas tree out of their handprints :) 

Bathtime for Landon!


sweet baby face :)

We are still doing our "25 days of Christmas" and over the weekend Jet pulled out of the basket to "make Christmas cookies and give to someone special" So we made daddy's favorite Christmas cookie recipe (thanks to Emmie helping!) and we gave them to our neighbors the next day! 





Now time to enjoy them!!
