Friday iPhone Dump #36

Boy, our elf, brought Jacob (and Hannah) some snow from the North Pole. It was a huge hit and a bit of a mess. But, anything that entertains him for at least an hour (and doesn't rhyme with blay-poh) is a hit with me!





This is her "What?-I-shouldn't-be-climbing-on-this?" look.


Her new favorite activity is to empty this bin and climb in there.


And, what she does, he wants to try. But then she wanted to join in again. Anyone want some smushed toys?


We ran into Darth Vader at Walmart.


And rode the (germ filled) ice cream truck.


See, he really likes the snow!


Saturday night we went to Richmond to do a Christmas Drive through that I remember being awesome when I was a kid. It hasn't changed much since 1985. But Jacob liked it and got to see Santa again. I had to take a picture of the picture we got to ask my mom if that's the same Santa from the 80s. We think it is!!


Boy got a little naughty that night and drew on pictures of Jacob and Hannah. Jacob LOVED it!!





Probably the only picture I have of me and both kids.


Sunday night we went to Santa's Wonderland (just south of College Station). The 20 minutes driving through it was awesome. The 3 hours we had to wait in traffic to get in (not exaggerating), was not. I won't thrill you with all of the details, but there was some crying, screaming, and I found out that a size 5 child's diaper does NOT hold an adult amount of urine.


Jacob drew me a tractor the other day. My Dad and Randy thought he drew boobs. Men...


This never gets old!


Jacob and Hannah have already started getting presents from family. And they are more than happy to open them early!!

Cute little girl watching Bubba play at Chick Fil A.


Jacob is really into superheroes right now. He tried on this mask at Target and wanted me to take his picture.


Later that night, I did some Christmas shopping at Target (ALONE!!) and bought him this mask. The next morning, he was telling me that he wanted to add that mask to his Christmas list. Since I had already purchased it, I pretended to not know what mask he was talking about. So, he grabbed a pen to draw a picture of it. I think he did an amazing job!!


One morning, Hannah was quiet which is never a good sign. This is how I found her.


Then they kissed.


We made a family trip to Academy this past weekend. These trips leave me and the kids killing time while Randy wanders around. So, we found hats and a mirror. Easy way to kill a lot of time with the kiddos.








At dinner one night.


I find her in here...a lot.


On Monday, Hannah was 11 months old. I REALLY need to start planning that first birthday.


Boy, our elf, did a little fishing one night. Buzz Lightyear just cheered him on.


My elf on the shelf is cuter than yours. See?

Friday iPhone Dump #34

At Mom and Dad's new house, they saved a bottom, kitchen drawer to fill with toys for the grand kids. There just happened to be a Tupperware thing in there. And Hannah's favorite activity is pulling everything out of drawers/cabinets so she emptied it quickly. And then wanted to ride in it...



Memaw made them all cute shirts. And we got a decent picture (check out Jacob's evil looking grin).


Memaw and Hannah.


Next, it was time to head to the Wiltshire's for more food and family fun. Here is Brynna and Hannah.


M even bought this game/hat. And, of course, Jacob loves hats/helmets/wigs, etc.


Molly even got to wear it...but it didn't fit.


Some of the kids (and some if the adults) went to downtown Lorena to watch the parade. They loved it, especially because they threw candy.


Here's the whole parade crew (minus Scott who I assume was taking the picture). Yes, Randy wore shorts...it was cold!


Waiting for the other grand kids to get set for the grand kid picture. Hannah had to be positioned very last.


And here it is!


M bought cool crafts for the kids to do. While they did it, Hannah constantly tried to eat stickers. So, I kept pulling her away. When M packed the stuff up because the bigger kids were finished, Hannah had to protest by sitting in/on the box.


Jacob was completely wiped out from a weekend of fun!!


Boy, our elf, made a little mess and brought treats one night this week. Jacob was over the moon about it and completely loves Boy now.


Have I mentioned that Hannah doesn't like hats or anything on her head??





I had this canvas made and LOVE it! I had to do the bow and ribbon, but I can handle that. I can't paint!


Just waiting on Babies R Us to open...


Finally, open! Jacob seriously thought this was the whole reason we went there.


Like I said on Facebook, Jacob LOVED his visit with Santa. Hannah did not.


When at the mall, you must go to the bookstore to try on the hats...again.











See, we need to get these cabinet locks finished!
