Merry Christmas 2010!!

Time goes too fast

December is quickly slipping away! The weather has been cold, we've had the first snow, attended two Christmas programs, and had two of Jada's birthday parties. Time for a blog post.

Every year it snows during our school Christmas program. This year was the earliest we've had the program and I sure didn't think it'd be snowing on Nov. 30. But, it did! The kids loved it! It takes quite a while to get everyone bundled up to go out, but it sure doesn't take long for the first one to say he's cold. : ) Notice one boy isn't too happy.

Jada saw the boys catching snow and followed right along. She will try/do anything she sees her brothers doing.

And off to the program for Quinn.

Jada enjoying the music. This girl's got rhythym.

Kade's turn. Yes, the pictures are always terrible at these things, but at least we have it documented. :)

The first of 3 parties for Jada's birthday. (That's what happens when your family is spread out.) She was loving her turn at the candles and presents. We got it on video but I can't get it to post. She blew out the candles so fast we lit them again. She started laughing at herself having so much fun and couldn't blow them out again b/c she was laughing. Too cute!

Second party. Again, good video, but can't post it. Here's a pic of the cupcakes. They turned out okay. The picture always looks so good and so easy. These little crowns (made out of laffy taffy) were harder than they appeared!

And Jada got her first American Girl Doll. I've always thought these were overpriced, but this is the Bitty Baby and it really is just so cute. Jada is loving it.

And lastly, I have to show this that I saw on a friends blog. This is an Ethiopian Doll from Target. So cute! Part of the proceeds from the doll goes to World Vision to help girls in Ethiopia! How cool is that?! Thinking Jada might need another doll. ;) Here's the link to buy one yourself.
