Happy Birthday Jesus, Joey and Jackson!

So, December 16th was filled with lots of birthday fun this year! First Jackson had school that morning where they had scheduled a 'happy birthday Jesus' party which he loved.  He was a little confused because anytime someone said 'Happy Birthday Jackson!' He would say 'Happy Birthday To You Too!' It apparently was everyone's birthday on the 16th.  We went from a great day at school (minus a trip to the principal's office...yikes! Another post for another day) to a place called Going Bonkers.  And boy did he go bonkers!!!  From there we went to Chucky Cheese where he played his little heart out and even got to meet Chucky Cheese!! If you haven't seen the video on facebook already you'll have to check out my little man's dance moves on the videos at the bottom of this post.  The next day we had more birthday fun at my parent's where we opened gifts, ate great food and celebrated Joey and Jackson.  We somehow ALL ended up underneath my parent's dining table a.k.a. 'the fort'.  All I know is Jackson LOVED it!!!!! So, I think his birthday was a huge success!!!




December 16th sure was a day of birthdays this year!

Self Portrait- I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

Here is my photo entry for the new I Heart Faces photo challenge.  I think I look good rockin' the 'stache.What do you think?




Christmas Time

I love christmas and had a really hard time this year waiting until after Halloween to decorate.  I made it to the first weekend in November and then christmas was officially going to be in my home.  Jackson has helped me make ornaments and we have had fun decorating while listening to christmas music.  This is just such a special time of year and it blesses me to think of what it really means in the hope of my Savior Jesus Christ.  
Merry Christmas Everyone!





Our homemade advent calender with small bags 50% off from Hobby Lobby and dollar store christmas chocolates.  Jackson wakes up ready to open his gift with a small treat inside.  He gets really excited trying to find the correct number and opening the bag for a new treat each day.  He is also learning patience, which isn't the fun part since he sees the bags and really doesn't like that he can only get one per day.  Good lessons to learn non the less.  
Hope you all have a wonderful christmas!!! God Bless!
