*Winter Wonderland*

Well the snow was perfect for making snowmen so the kids and I decided to give it a try.

Vi was sleeping which worked good since she likes snow in small doses. The kids had fun rolling the snow, I never realized that when the snow is right you can just keep rolling it and it gets bigger and bigger. Probably something most everyone knows, but I thought it was pretty cool-maybe I'm just easily entertained.

Maicey made a baby snowman, the things she comes up with.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
ISAIAH 9:6

We had a good Christmas spending time with each other and relaxing. I love Christmas with kids they get so excited about all the magic that Christmas Brings.

Excited to see if Santa Came.

Maicey and her Baby Alive.

On Guard!

Alright Candy!!

Transformers Galore.

Gage looking in awe at the carrot he found outside that has bite marks from one of Santa's Reindeer!

I DO MYSELF!

I didn't notice what Violet was wearing until Jordan pointed it out to me and said, "What does Violet have on?" She for some reason must not have liked the shirt she was wearing so she tried to get it off but it couldn't get passed her pants-Oh Well! She put on the onesie she wore yesterday and came to me wanting help to zip up her sweater. Man I love Violets independence and her always saying, "I do myself."

Christmas Eve

I was really thankful to have Jordan off for Christmas Eve and all of Christmas Morning, it just so happened to be his normal schedule and it worked out great to be there with me and the kids. We had a good family night and the kids loved singing the carols, especially when daddy got a little humorous with his voice.

Gage was not feeling well at all today so I was glad to have him feeling mostly better by Christmas. We let the kids open some blankets that I made them. Gage got a transformers, Violet got a farm one, and Maicey got a tinkerbell.

As I had mentioned before, Gage was running a fever and not feeling up to par. He has been known to do wierd things when this occurs (waking up and talking wierd when he is actually asleep, sleep walking, and talking an extra amount while sleeping). We had put the kids to bed and Jordan and I watched a movie. After the movie I decided to check on Gage and when feeling for his head I realized he was not there. I looked in Maicey's room then being a little worried I mentioned to Jordan that Gage was not upstairs. Jordan and I snuck downstairs in the pitch black trying to cetch Gage in the act but found him sleeping stink bug position on his Christmas cushion. Thinking he saw all of his presents Jordan asked him if Santa had came and he said no. When I carried him back up to his bed I asked him how come he went downstairs to sleep and he said, " Mom, I didn't go, you took me downstairs." Thank goodness he didn't walk right outside!

My little sleep walker.

Violet loved this toy from Gage, she played not stop for an hour.

Gage got a pirates game from Maicey.

I love this picture of Gage, if you look closely you can see ice on his eyelashes.

Well a storm came in and we got dumped on. The kids were so excited when they woke up and wanted to go out and play. Violet didn't last as long as the other two but she tried. I was out anyway so I decided to shovel out our driveway. Well I ended up just doing it up by out front door, what a workout. We actually have gotten more snow since these pictures, I was happy to see the snow plow out today to FINALLY plow our roads. They were so bad on our little streets our corolla could barely make it and only if it got a running start.

Hangin out at D's House!

Violet loves Dusty Boy. She always wanted to hold him, stroke his hair, and kiss him. It was so cute when we got back home Violet was going to bed and she said with her bottom lip out, "I wanna hold Jens, Dusty Boy.

All the cousins watching a movie.

Aunt Tami cut Violet's hair for me. Short hair just fits Vi and her spunkiness.


I thought she did so good and didn't even fuss or move around too much.

Isn't that the cutest Pumpkin face. Thanks Tami:)

Jones Christmas Party

A little while after we were all done decorating houses I notice Violet at the table licking all the icing off. She's my sugarholic

Hangin out!

Gift Exchange

Maicey's Masterpiece!

The kiddy table-not much decorating going on but they were sure having a good time eating up the candy!


Gotcha! I have a hard time getting candid pictures of Jord, what a cutie!

We Love Grandma! The Best Seat in the House.

Storytime and Christmas Songs!

Grandma let the kids use fancy glasses to drink from and Gage would not put it down, he thought they were the coolest thing.

Maicey and Bailee missed each other, they took turns seeing who could lift the other one up.
