Tis' The Season

We had such a fun and busy weekend

On Friday we made Christmas Cookies

with MiMi.

Chunk was into EVERYTHING

so I gave him a

sugar cookie to gnaw on...

Let's just say it ended

with Jack being flipped upside down

MiMi whacking his back

cookie pieces flying out

(simon dog eating the heimliched cookie)

and buddy crying his heart out.

Jack was saved and

the cookies are delish

alls well that ends well

Jack and Daddy

Last Wednesday was

"Cheesy Sweater Night"

at Explode

We are a bunch of hotties i know!

Friday night we took Jack to

the North Pole

to see Santa

Mrs. Claus was even there!

He was such a good boy..

And I think i even heard him tell Santa

what he wanted.....

My very own Santa Baby

Those are the deadly cookies right behind him!

Below is a video of Jack "helping"

Mommy and MiMi

makes the chocolate dipped pretzels

Stay tuned for Jack's hat collection this week!!

Have You EVER Seen Anything Cuter??

Jack got his very 1st Christmas present in the mail last week.

Since he is new to the whole present thing,

he didn't understand why he had to wait

so long

to open up his present.

So... i let him open it...It was the cutest

red, Adidas baby

track suit

i have ever seen

and an ELMO!

(matching socks included)

from the Mrs. Rossi
in Chicago

Have you ever seen a cuter baby?? jack quickly found all the presents

under the tree

no no jack that's not yours

Sorry Nanna and Grandpa Rob
he kinda drooled on your present

he saw his puppy puppy

he loves her so much

he gets so excited

(she does not feel the same)

Jack wanted to take a video

to show you how cute he looked in motion

Thank You Mrs. Rossi

we will come to Chicago and meet you soon!

Yea for Great Grandmas

Last weekend we went and saw GG LePore.

Jack loved her and her red lipstick!!
I know this picture is kinda blurry
but it's just so stinkin sweet

Speaking of great Grandmas

MiMi either needs to grow

or get a smaller tree
Ha!Ha!

On Friday we celebrated Auntie Cathy's

50th!

Great Auntie, great MiMi,

Chunk, and Great Grandma Peggy

Listen Chunk says 'MomMa'

The Giving Of The Thanks

Chunk truly enjoyed his 1st Thanksgiving "I'm thankful for my MiMi and PopPop"
Thinking about pumpkin pie

We are thankful for this baby

and his big ol' smiles

Jack's new favorite word

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

He loved his mashed potatoes

He actually liked the rutabaga

But the sweet taters were by far his favorite

listen for the "Mmmmmmm's"

Oh I lied,

he loved the pumkpin pie the most!!!

O' Christmas Tree

What baby doesn't love music, snoopy, woodstock and blinking lights???? i know Jack-a-Mo loves all of the above!!!
(Check out the big boy high chair i put together)

He's such a little block head...

Arrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Videos of my Charlie Brown head eating his Hallmark Snoopy Nana LeRossi sent

(I think you need to send another... don't know how long this one will last:)~)

Gobble Gobble Everyone

Go PopPop Go!

PopPop and Uncle Mike (from Minnesota, he flew in last night) left this morning to go Elk hunting this morning. I know we live in vegas, but it really is cold at 6am and Jack wears his jammies and a hat over the river and through the woods to MiMi's every morning. This morning he wanted to wear his bear hat to bring PopPop good luck. Such a sweet little bear cub.

Not a very ferocious bear

Slay an elk PopPop

MiMi loves jerky,

Sammy loves breakfast patties

and I love elk burgers

you got a lot of mouths to feed!!

See you on Thanksgiving!!!

Be safe and have fun!!

RWAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

The Big 5-0

The greatest daddy in the whole wide world

turned 50 on Sunday For those of you trying to do the math,

yes that makes him a young dad.

We are 20 years apart (I'll be 30 in January)

Last month we gave him his big present

a shiny new smoker to make us yummy food in.

For the big day we met him for breakfast

and then

took him for a surprise dinner a

Texas De Brazil.

All you can eat meat on a sword..

Sign me up!

It was beyond delish!!!

(Buddy even sat in a high chair)

Chuck got to hang out with uncle robbie.

Bub loves this baby waaaaaay much

i don't think he had any idea how much he would love him

it's sweet

One of the things that really surprised me about being a mom

was how much i would love watching my

parents love my baby.
My dad loves Jack in a way that is out of this world.

he says that every morning is like Christmas for him

when he gets Jack out of my car.

Thankful is not a good enough word to explain

how i feel about my dad.

Grateful.. still not enough...

Blessed.. yes

Loved... without a doubt

Cherished... everyday of my life

Daddy's Girl... still am

My dad shaped my soul with his kisses

Protected my heart with his unconditional love

I never had to be the pretty girl with daddy issue.

I knew, know and will always know that my dad loves me

i love that jack gets to know that too.

that his sweet face and toes get PopPop kisses everyday

that that they will take Grampa, Daddy and Jack fishing trips, roll in the mud,

and do boys things together.

Dad..

A son's first hero

a

daughter's first love

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!
