HO HO HO!!! Merry Christmas!

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas. All of Marc's family was here and so we did a lot of family bonding. The adults bonded some with the help of the Wii. We bowled and boxed from the comfort of home! Very fun!


The kids sure had a lot of fun too! Here are Alyssia, Jocelyn, and Bella in there Christmas PJ's. Bella loves dogs so we thought that the puppy jammies were perfect for her.


On Christmas Eve all of the kids decorated cookies for Santa while we all sang Christmas songs! It was very fun!



We did have a white Christmas here but it snowed more after Christmas so the kids had a lot of fun in the snow! Grandpa was appropriately bombing all of the kids with snow balls but unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of that:(



And, lastly here are the girls enjoying some of their Christmas goodies! Bella loved her Dora blanket and book that came with her baby doll. Jocelyn got scrubs and a nurse set from her grandma and grandpa that she loves!

Monkey See...Monkey Do!

Bella loves her big sister! The first thing she says in the morning is Jo Jo and she wants to know where her sister is. She loves to follow her around and do what Jocelyn is doing! It is quite cute to watch. This particular day Jocelyn was playing with the attachments from the vacuum and Bella had to join in too! I thought it was cute!

Happy Birthday Jocelyn!

Jocelyn turned #4 on Saturday! This was the first year that we had a "real" birthday party and she was so excited!! We only invited a few of her friends because our apartment is so small and with it snowing outside we had to keep it simple and small. We painted t-shirts and most importantly we had cake, ice cream, birthday hats, and noise makers! Jocelyn loves Diego so we had a Diego/Dora themed party! Go Diego Go!

Here we are just getting ready for the party.

Bella Boo getting in the birthday spirit!

Landon and Jocelyn excited about the party and of course the hats!

This was her cake. I had been really sick up until the party so my creativity and energy was lacking and this was her cake. I know I see it now but I should have put happy birthday Jocelyn in that empty space:) OK in my defense that is where the big Diego candle went. Oh well, I guess there is always next year.

And then to add a cherry on top Jocelyn got to go pick something out from her Grandma Marian, and this was her choice. She had so much fun picking out her own toy and honestly we had no idea that she would have wanted My Little Pony, so maybe we will let her do it again next year.

Birthdays are great for the siblings too!! Bella had fun playing with Jocelyn's toys too- at least for a few seconds anyway:)
