More Classic Jazzie Mae

One of the worst parts of the puppy in an apartment is that I can't just let him outside. I must take him out, despite the weather, so we can take a leisurely stroll. (*sarcasm*) Well the other day I put his leash on to go out and Jazmine said she wanted to go. I told her no, she wasn't dressed, and that I would be right back in. (I take him right out front, so they can see me through the window, and I can see them.) When I walked back in, Jazmine told me she was ready to go outside. This is what I saw.....

Now Isaac isn't as quick as Jazmine, yet, although he had managed to put shoes on. Just don't tell daddy that they were Jazmine's pink princess shoes....

Always good for a smile!

One of my favorite things is that I never know what my two beautiful children are going to do or say. Here they are from the last couple days....Isaac is just currently fascinated with doing whatever he thinks will make you laugh. The more you laugh the goofier he gets.


Jazzie Mae, on the other hand, does love to intentionally be silly to make you laugh. However, here she is only for HER entertainment. This is her "Astronaut" outfit.

Christmas pics

Christmas was kind of crazy this year. We were out of power most of the week because of the ice and snow. (Tree's collapsing everywhere.) The first two days we stayed at home, but once we could see our breath in the house, we decided to call our friends Mindy and Adrian and see if we could crash there. If there were no children involved, I am sure Lenny and I would of toughed it out. But I had to think of those precious ones.

Since it appeared there was no end in sight to the no power situation (since the number of people without was going up and not down) Lenny and I went home on Christmas Eve to set up presents while it was still light out. Our plan was to get up Christmas Day and bring the kids to the house for presents then go back to Mindy's. However, thankfully power came back on Wednesday night. Since we really wanted to be at home for Christmas, we just went home and let the children do presents a day early, being as everything was set out and we couldn't hide it all again. Opening the front door for them to walk in was a little different than the vision I had in my mind of them running down the hallway after they woke up, but it'll make a good story, and at least everyone was happy and we got our power!

A couple favorite gifts were bicycles, a tent, a doctor kit, Elmo, and Wubbzy. Here are a few pics. (Some of them are Christmas Day playing with things since Christmas Eve opening was kind of crazy so I didn't get good pics.)

Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was a little bit crazy, but I'll write about that later. In the mean time, here is a look back at the last few years!
