Christmas Morning

Here's another scrapbook page. I love this program. It's called Memory Makers, and I went to the website to learn more about it, and then I bought it at Roberts for 50% off for Christmas. Cool huh! I can't decide if I like the digital scrapbooking more, or regular scrapbooking. The nice thing with the digital scrapbooking is that I don't have to cut and glue paper, plus, this page took me 30 minutes, when usually a page like this would take me forever, so anyway. I hope you all have a wonderful new years, and we will talk to you all in 2008!

Practice

I got a new digital scrapbook program for Christmas, and I LOVE it. This is my first practice page, and there are many options of things you can do with the pages. Some things I don't like as much on the page, but for the most part, I love how easy and cute it is. Anyway, I hope everyone had a beautiful & Merry Christmas!

Christmas Kiss Cookies

As a tradition growing up, for Christmas my mom made Christmas kiss cookies. I love these cookies, and for some reason, I only make them around Christmas. Morgan & Jackson loved helping me unwrap all of the kisses, and separate the chocolate & foil. Somehow all of the kisses didn't end up in the bowl, but in their mouths. :) The kids love eating cookie dough, and pouring in the sugar, but they don't really like eating the cookies when they're all done. Maybe they don't like it because the cookies are warm, because they eat the cookies just fine when they are cold. Brian doesn't like them warm either, but I love them right out of the oven.

Brotherly/ Sisterly LOVE

What cute kids huh! These 2 are so funny. Lately they have wanted to take off their shirts while they eat, so they won't spill anything on them. I have no idea where they get this idea from, because believe me, Brian and I wear our shirts when we eat. :)

After breakfast, I looked over, and saw the 2 of them dancing to Christmas music, and hugging each other. I know I don't have perfect kids, and everyday isn't perfect, but I am so grateful to have these 2 in my life, and for how much fun and happiness they bring everyday.

Dance Partners... dancing to christmas music. I'm not sure who the leader is. :)

A little laugh for all of us!

I stole this from my sisters blog because I thought it was so cute and funny. You'll have to put my music on pause before you click on the link above, but we hope you really enjoy!
We hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had our first big snow storm on Friday night, so the kids were so excited to wake up to new snow. By 9:00, we had them dressed and ready to play outside. Jackson loved the snow, and would run & dive into it. Isn't he a cute little snow boy!

Morgan was so funny, because she loved the snow too, but after about 15 minutes she as ready to come back inside. Jackson was having so much fun, that he had no interest in coming inside, so Jackson & Daddy stayed outside while Mommy & Morgan went inside and had a nice big cup of Hot Chocolate with toast.

I'm not a big fan of snow, but I feel like Christmas isn't the same unless there is snow everywhere. It was so fun watching the kids enjoy the snow. They loved eating it as most kids do, and I loved watching the big flakes fall on them.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!

We had some friends come over the other night for an early christmas party, and I made this chocolate, peanut butter trifle. It was really good! It has a peanut butter cream in it though, and I think next time I make it, I will use caramel instead of peanut butter.

Jackson woke up from his nap just in time to enjoy the pudding that went into the trifle. He was so excited to lick the spatula. This boy LOVES chocolate just like his daddy. The other day we gave both of the kids a chocolate hershey kiss after lunch, jackson unwrapped his and I think swallowed it whole, because before we knew it, he was wanting more. Morgan was taking her time at unwrapping it, almost as if it were a precious present, and as soon as the chocolate was out, Jackson snatched it from her and popped it in his mouth. We had a little melt down as you can imagine, but luckily we had more. :)


YUMMY!!!! I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!
