Being Cute!

Yes, Jemma knows that she is cute and works it to her advantage when she can. Here she is already posing.

Jaxonism:
This goes in the cute post because I think Jaxon is so cute when he does this. Here is the toy Jaxon got from my Uncles at Christmas.
Star Wars Jenga

Here's the cute part - as soon as he built it he wanted me to take a picture and put it on Facebook and make sure I said that he made it all by himself. He's done this a couple of times and he also tells us when we're taking pictures to not put them on Facebook. What a different world our kids live in!

Here is taking the pic himself on my iPad. He took a ton!

Snow Day

We had a snow on Christmas Day that was nice but not as much I hoped we would get. Still it was great to have a White Christmas. But then we got a really good one on New's Years Eve.

The kids snuggled up waiting until we can go outside.

Jaxon went out with Daddy first. Jemma was sleeping and I was cooking stuff to take to a New Year's Eve Party. And of course the first thing Jaxon wanted to do was have a snow fight.

Some nice pictures before we all had a snow fight. Mommy had a hard time getting it together for a ball but the boys didn't seem to have any trouble.

After we came in we made snow ice cream - YUM! I texted my friend, Karen, for her recipe.

It got soupy really fast so Jemma had hers as a milkshake to avoid a mess.

Christmas at Granny's

On Thursday, December 27th we had Christmas at my Granny's house. My Aunt Jan and cousin Faith came to the farm to celebrate.

Jemma and Faith playing on the iPad.
