The 8th Floor - Elves at Macy's getting ready for Christmas Loves hats - even Daddy's
Finally learned to say "CHEESE" for the camera!
Matt took me to see Wicked - so FUN! Probably one of the best plays we've seen! And then we went to an Italian restaurant recently featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives - Donatelli's - YUM!
Still can't get enough of this costume!
Falling asleep at 7 pm watching Elmo. It's kind of funny that he crawled up there and under the covers.
Jack's first understanding of snow. I stood out there for a little while showing him what you can do with snow, I took a video, then I went inside and took my coat off to watch from the door. Immediately, here he comes, "MAMA! Coat! Pitures!" He doesn't say a lot that's understandable, but I can usually understand him. So I took this picture. What a fun time to share these things with him!
We had a good weekend at church. On Saturday we had a youth activity where we made our own pizzas (YUM!) and played some Family Feud. Then, on Sunday, we had a surprise for our pastor. We had taken an offering to honor his 11 years at the church and to celebrate he and his wife's 35th wedding anniversary. It was a lot of fun and a big surprise for them. We also had a cake reception for them after the evening service. Here is a picture of Pastor Cary Flinck and his wife Nancy.
We are also busy with AWANA at our church this year. Matt is the commander this year and we had a great opening night this last Wednesday. We had a lot of kids, some of them first-timers, show up for the ice cream party. We are praying that they will continue to come throughout the year and bring a lot of their friends.
Jack has been getting bigger every day. He loves to learn new words and make us laugh. Here is a video of Jack being a bad Baptist by dancing with Elmo.
I thought I would also share a funny story of Jack eating a snack the other day. He was eating his peaches and loving them. He started to get a little hyper and thought he would be funny by slapping his hand to his face. He forgot that he still had a peach in his hand and the following photos show the result.
Of course, I could have cleaned him up right away, but I knew my first priority was to run and grab the camera!
