Today was the first day of Christmas Break for my little family… so I thought that it would be fun to do something together, the weather wasn’t nice AT all.. So I figured that I would introduce Leo to Jump Planet, especially since I can’t “jump” right now!
Needless to say, Jillian was thrilled to have Daddy there to play with! They had a blast and both were beat when the time was up!
I made some sugar cookies this Holiday season and wanted the family to help me decorate them!
Jillian didn’t know what to think at first… she was just having more fun dipping the fork into the frosting and then licking it! Getting that girl to not double dip took a few forks!
Even Daddy got in on the action!
And here I am laughing… for Leo got a picture of me (at my best, in my pj’s for they are the only thing that is comfortable right now!) and for the fact that Jilly wouldn’t stop saying “Cheese”!
So I have wanted to go to
for several years and then today I was at Bellevue Square for lunch with two girlfriends and I saw the actual lane all decorated. It made me want to go even more…. and it made me think back to last year this time and I was here:
Well it came and went like a flash of lightning… I had 9 people over from Leo’s side, my best friend as well. It was alot of work but rewarding to do… Sadly I didn't one picture of the day at all. For some reason these past few months I have been struggling to remember to take pictures of anything, much less Jillian… and I use to be SO good at it. Guess that it something I will have to work on now.
So… I finally got Jillian’s 2 year pictures done. After her 18 month pictures I was scared to do them, so I hoped that if I gave her a few more months that it wouldn’t go so badly, oh and I brought Grandmema along, who then brings Jellybeans. And her and those beans translates to getting her to do just about anything!

This year we only carved 3 pumpkins, usually we do more… but all in all we had fun… My husband is creative with his (as usual!) and did his all free hand, just looking at the picture was good enough! I carved a homegrown pumpkin right out of my garden, this year it was a yellow pumpkin (I swear that the tag at Flower world said that it was a pumpkin!) that never turned green much less orange. It was really easy to carve and smelled like a cucumber to boot! Who knows maybe next year I will actually grow an orange pumpkin!
So now we wait for Halloween and hopefully a few trick-or-treaters……
I got SO excited this morning when I found out that Mariah Carey has a new Christmas CD out…
That made my entire day and it was a long one at that!
So between her new CD and Lady Antebellum’s Christmas CD I am a happy little clam! Now all I a need is to start decorating!!! Silly me!!!
