Off To See all the Grandma's! (Christmas)

So first we went to Great Grandma & Grandpa Allen's house where Grandma made a beaded necklace for Kylee with her name on it and a stuffed animal. Jamon got a remote control dinosaur! I didn't get very many pictures here.



Then it was off to Grandma Sheryl and Grandpa Dale's house! I didn't take any pictures of us opening presents or of what we got! Jamon got an awesome McQueen race track and Kylee got a super cute outfit and giraffe toy! I did get cute shots of Kylee with her grandparents though!

With Grandma Sheryl, she was blowing her tongue to make silly noises!


Grandpa Dale was tickling her and making her laugh and laugh!


And finally we ended our day at Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Keith's house.

Jamon got a fun race track that two racers go in a figure-eight! Grandma made him a really good looking dinosaur blanket and gave him dinosaur pajamas to go with it! (I love that Grandma is in the background filming too!)


Kylee got an adorable heart blanket Grandma Sandy made and some cute pink money pajamas and a couple of dolls!


We had such a wonderful Christmas! Thanks to everyone! The best "Christmas gift" I got was the week between Christmas and New Year's off work to just be a mom! I had so much fun being home and we played and played and I didn't stress over cleaning the house or anything! It was a perfect time!

Chritmas Continued...

Kylee was seriously more interested in the box I had wrapped a present in, but it was so cute!



Santa always brings our favorite cereal each year! (I am a bit jealous of those of you who have a big yummy breakfast on Christmas, but it's always been a tradition for me growing up and it's great to be able to eat and go to all the visits that day with almost no prep and clean up!)

Our Christmas - A MONTH After!

Well, what can I say, better late than never!? Here is how our Christmas was!
We got to see Jamon perform some Christmas songs at school. He didn't sing much, but better than at Halloween! He is so cute, anyway! Then he got to see Santa and Mrs. Clause after! (Side note: Do you love that camera in my way? It ended up in all my pictures! Lovely!)


Christmas morning was exciting as Santa had stopped by! He left a bunch of toys on our couch and Jamon was so excited to get play doh stuff! He asked for that and walkie talkie's that I didn't get a picture of!

Then Jamon checked out his stocking that was loaded with lots of yummy and fun things!

Santa brought Kylee her first purse! (She really didn't know what to think of it all!)

I had these hooded towels made for the kids and they turned out so cute!


(I will end this post and continue on new post - I am not very good at this!)

Well our December started out horrible as I was in a car accident. The best part is no one was seriously hurt. Just my poor car! We are waiting for the insurance company to mail the money so I can get another car. We have one picked out in Logan that is just like my car except silver (I will miss that gorgeous blue color) but it is just a car right?! And Brandon assures me that it's a pretty silver too. So anyway, here are some awful pics of the damage!



On a more positive note, the kids have had a couple chances to see Santa this year so that was fun! Jamon is really into it and I told him to talk real loud so Santa could hear him and he did great! He wants walkie-talkie's! He's worried that Santa won't know what Kylee wants so we need to write Santa a letter - quickly! He is way too smart for his own good! Kylee wasn't sure what to think of Santa but didn't want to sit there very long! Maybe next year?!




Anyway, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you are all happy and well!

Rambling...

So I don't have much to say but I go so long between posts I thought I would share some cute things Jamon has said lately! He has been seeing the Christmas lights on a few houses and can't help but be drawn to them! But I told him that we don't turn Christmas lights on until after Thanksgiving! My exact words were "They (people who turn the lights on too early) are sill billy's". Well we are at Target a few days later and he says "huh, they are silly billy's cause look, they have Christmas trees already!" I just love this age! Then I was trying to be silly last night (cause I am just way to serious and I am trying to change!) and when Jamon asked what time it is I told him and then said "What time are YOU?" I figured he would give me some random number - or his favorite # 4690 - but he responded "I'm not a clock, Mom!" Can't pull one over on him! It became a joke though and so if he asks anyone what time are you, don't think he's crazy!! Kids are such a joy!
I sure wish we could get Kylee to move around! She HATES being on her tummy but then she won't learn to crawl. I have been having her stand next to the couch to try to learn to walk along it, holding on. That is still a work in progress! Really, I am fine with her not getting into everything, but I don't want her to be lacking in development either! She is such a delight! I love her jabbering, she definitely got her talking from her mother! ha! I love the special moments when Jamon will "play" with her and give her kisses! So much fun!
We have been trying to do family night every week and we have had lots of fun! Some weeks are better than others but hey, something is better than nothing! Our first one we had a little lesson and then played candy land and had licorice! Jamon loves it! It's a good thing to make sure we sit down as a family and learn something and have fun together!
Thanks for participating in my rambling!

Halloween!

We've had a fun Halloween this year. We went to see the Witches at Gardener Village. Went to a Halloween carnival at grandmas church, carved pumpkins. Jamon sang in his preschool Halloween program. He was on the back row, so we couldn't get a great picture of him. We had a great time trick or treating with our "Stitch and Tinkerbell."
