Friday iPhone Dump #89

This was the fort Randy and Jacob built in the living room last week.


While waiting at Walgreens for Randy to get a flu shot, you must try on glasses.





Here he is wearing them "like Pawpaw".





Saturday night we went to Richmond State School to see the lights again. The kids liked playing in the sleigh.


And posing by the snowmen.


We had Lakeside's Christmas party on Sunday and these were the only pictures we took. The kids playing on someone else's phone!!





Making (and eating) our Gingerbread men that Boy brought them.








Jacob created our family in Lego minifigures.


Boy always throws a party the last night he is here.


Opening presents from Mom and Dad.





Ready for church on Christmas Eve.


We had a lot of time to kill while Daddy got the camera ready.


But we got a cute family photo!


Santa came!


Jacob got two big Ninja Turtle Lego Sets (plus an overflowing stocking).


Hannah got a kitchen (plus an overflowing sticking).


He was so happy!!


And she actually wanted to take pictures.


Baby wanted to play in the kitchen, too.


Such a cutie!!


At the park.





Candlelight Service.

Friday iPhone Dump #88

We went to visit Santa on Monday. I'd say it went about as well as last year...


Jacob had his Christmas party at school.


And they both had their Christmas programs at school. Hannah's was just songs. She would be happy and jumping and singing one minute and then look very scared the next. Here are some of her happy moments...





She didn't want to take a picture with us after though.


Jacob was Joseph and did a great job!


Here he is with his buddies from his class.


That's Joseph pretending to sleep.


And waking up with a big stretch.


After his program.


Memaw and Pawpaw came too. Pawpaw never made it into a picture.


Jacob and his buddy Luke.


Jacob has been sick and finally learned to swallow pills because this antibiotic tastes terrible. We are so happy about this. Boy, our Elf, then got sick and wished he could take pills like Jacob.

Friday iPhone Dump #87

Our elf, Boy, is back again this year. One day last week, he brought Jacob and Hannah some snow from the North Pole. Hannah wasn't too thrilled but Jacob loved playing with it.


My friend Amanda and I both love this new sandwich place called Newk's. She went and posted it on Facebook which made me want to go the next day. Randy is so-so about this place but Jacob and I love it!! Perfect lunch dates while Daddy was working.





We were out to pick up the cupcakes for Aunt Carrie's baby shower. Since we couldn't eat any of those, we bought a few extras. I think Hannah likes cupcakes.





I had cookies made for the shower favors and were blown away at how good they looked! And, they tasted amazing too!!


Christmas at M and Pa's house was last Sunday. That is A LOT of presents!


Grandma Wiltshire got all of the great grandkids a cute snow globe. We were taking pictures to send to her in Kansas. That's all 8, soon to be 9, of them!


Someone was exhausted on the way home. Plus, she was sick with what we now know was Roseola all weekend and running a high fever. We even made a fun trip to Urgent Care on Saturday night!


My parents came by on Monday and we were going to give Memaw her birthday present a little early. Jacob had a great idea that he wanted to be wrapped and be her present. She loved it WAY more than the robe and house slippers I got her!!


What Jacob does, Hannah does. She did this all by herself!


Boy drew on their pictures again this year!





Funny story with no picture to go along with it but I want to remember it: After I took Jacob to school on Wednesday, Hannah was being a little grumpy while Randy and I were talking about something (very important, I'm sure). So, I hand Hannah my cell phone to play with. However, in the last week alone she has called Randy and my mom every single time I let her play with my phone. So, before I hand it to her, I put it in airplane mode so she can play games or watch videos but not call anyone. Well, Randy and I got distracted and forgot about giving her my phone. Then we jumped in the car to go run some errands. When I realized that I didn't have my phone, I went searching for it. I couldn't find it anywhere so I asked Randy to call it but it was in airplane mode and WOULD NOT RING!! Randy and I searched for a while and Hannah was still in her car seat in the car (in the garage). Then, I realized this was going to take a while so I went to get her out of the car. She walked inside and we joked "Show us what you did with Momma's phone". I wasn't paying attention but she led Randy right into the playroom and right to my phone in the bottom of the toy box!!! It's funny now but I was really worried that I'd never see it again.

So, anyway, that night we went to Santa's Wonderland. Here is how the kids got to ride through the drive thru part.





Some of the pretty lights.














This year we even tried Santa's Town. We had fun but it's way expensive so we may never do it again!!





The only free thing was the movie. Aren't they adorable?





Grumpy girl...


Petting her pony.


She loved riding it!














And, last, Boy made a snowman out of toilet paper last night.
