**End of Year!**
Hey there...if you're reading this, you've got to make the jump to 2006!
Here's the new site.
**December 19 - December 25**
Merry Christmas!
The beginning of the week Ray and the kids and I just bummed around the house (and took zero pictures!) and then I went to Connecticut for my 10 year high school reunion. I have a few pictures from that, but none that I would allow on the blog!!! And, well, on Christmas morning, I got ONE picture of the kids opening their stockings and then it was a free for all on the presents! I hope you all had a great Christmas and had as much fun as our kids did! Jon doesn't look too happy in this pic, but what can I say...he really wanted breakfast, not a bunch of cars and balls! Thanks SANTA! Lily, on the other hand, was all about the presents. When I pointed out that Santa had brought her "big girl underwear" and he would be really happy if she used the potty and I asked her if she wanted to, she looked me dead in the eye and said "no". So, there you have it. Merry Christmas!
First post, first post, first post.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I too hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
PS. Did I mention that this is the first post :-)
Hi everyone! It sounds like you all had a good christmas and Santa was good to you all! Lily, you should listen to Santa about the "big girl underwear", if you do he may bring you something extra cool next year for christmas! Well I am glad that you all had a good holiday and I hope the new year is wonderful for you all!!
Love you guys!
Niki
Ray,
I'm saving my favorite expression for you the next time I see you! Man, I'm third to post and no notice has even been sent yet. I checked in to see if it was possible that maybe, just maybe, I could be first again.
I know that you all had a great Christmas and I'm looking forward to using my new photo TV/phone and get to see you guys while we talk. I just brought home the TV I won in May and now we can connect that up to the phone. We'll be in business in no time.
I wish all of you a very Happy New Year--yeah, even you, Ray! I wish Lily lots of luck with her tonsil and adnoids removal. Either Bev or I will be there to help out. Then we look forward to seeing you in March!!
Mem can't wait! We'll have several full houses, but there is no better house than one full of kids!
Love you all,
Muma
I think Ray turned off the post alert when Jen wasn't looking!
I am glad you had a great Christmas! I was so glad to see you, Jen! I hope you all liked your presents!!!
**December 12 - December 18 (J-Week 52)**
Happy Birthday Jon!!
We all made it through Jon's first year!!! And what a year it was. Jon celebrated by opening presents, having Lily open presents and cupcakes for everyone. Jon REALLY enjoyed his cupcake, that is, after he realized that you could EAT it. Jon got some great gifts from everyone and he and Lily had a ball playing with all of them. THANK YOU!
Little Miss Dainty
Lily was a bit daintier with her cupcake.
Shaving Cream?
Painting with shaving cream. Yet another way I amuse my children.
My Gym
Our little friend Bailey has a birthday this month too and they had a party at a place called "My Gym". The kids had a great time and we were all worn out by the end. (But did we nap afterwards???? NO!)
Thanks for the pics, Heather!
Christmas Cookies
On Sunday we had fun making Christmas cookies with Nana.
First post, yes!!!
I have never seen two kids eat cupcakes so fast. Once Jon got a taste of what it was I don't think he spilled a crumb.
Happy belated birthday to Jon!!! It looks like he and Lily really enjoyed the cake! :-) The shaving cream looked fun, at least it smelled nice and clean! You guys are way too cute!!
love,
Niki
Okay Ray
This is so unfair. I haven't even gotten a note yet that said the site was updated. You, not only live there, you're off all week. I used to be 1st to post a note all the time. I still have to make cookies, it's eleven at night, and I'm third to post a note. Life is so unfair!
Okay, great pics! I'm so glad that Jon had a great birthday! He looks like he totally enjoyed that cupcake. Usually you do white cake--so it doesn't look so bad--but chocolates my favorite too!
The shaving cream looked like fun--I'm sure I would never have thought of that. Whipped cream with chocolate topping, maybe--but not shaving cream.
Love you all, and it was great to see Jen and Lily. Looking forward to another visit! Gotta go--cookies to make!!!!!!
Love always,
Muma
Did I get removed from the new posting alerts!? This has turned into a fun little competition! See kids, we are already fighting for your affection!! :-)
Happy Birthday, Jon! You guys look like you had lots of fun celebrating your big day!
Hi--I'm posting twice--does that count almost as much as being first???? I love the pic of Jon hanging from the pole. He sure is a strong little guy--look out Lily!
I forgot to wish him a Happy Birthday on the blog which is the real reason I'm posting twice.
Happy Birthday, Jon!!!!!!
Love you all,
Muma
Hi All,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON!!! Sure looks like you enjoyed your cake! You wear it well. Looks like you are getting to be such a big boy and so strong hanging on the bars too! I think Lily better start being real nice to you soon! You are both just so cute, love all the pics, thanks for keeping us close Jen.
Love Aunt Bev
