Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Last, but not least, we took Jaycee over to see Santa at the mall. We were a little nervous because last year she just screamed and screamed. She actually did really, really well. She was being shy and hardly looked at him, but she sat on his lap so we could get a cute picture!

Okay, I am finally caught up with the majority of what has happened in the last month. We hope you all have a very, very Merry Christmas. Hopefully we will have a new baby to post about next!!!

Too Cute

Here are a few pictures of Jaycee that I have taken recently that I had to post because she is just too cute. She loves to wear her daddy's hat and his gloves if they are around.

I love Jaycee in this big furry coat. She looks like a little Eskimo.

My sister watched Jaycee for a little while when I went to one of my OB appointments and she took these pictures of Jaycee and Jack reading a book. They are so very cute together.

Ohh, and I cannot forget to post the picture with her and Mitch on the snowmobile. She is learning early to love daddy's hobbies!

Treehouse Museum in Ogden

I took Jaycee with a mom's group to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. It was really, really neat. Everything there was for the kids to play with and Jaycee loved it. There was nothing there that she could not touch or play with. Best of all, she could run around from room to room and I didn't have to worry about her going somewhere or touching something she shouldn't. They also had a lot of really neat things for the kids to do. I did not get a whole lot of pictures because Jaycee was going crazy bouncing around the museum and playing with the different things.

Let it snow, Let it snow!!!

Mitch and Jaycee have had a ball with all of the snow that we have been getting recently. Mitch came up with the idea of pulling Jaycee around in a sled and/or her little ambulance behind the lawnmower. Jaycee absolutely loves this, especially in her car. The other day, they drove around the whole neighborhood and backyard. The next morning, Jaycee was very upset to realize that her dad had gone back to work and would not be able to take her around in the car. She told him so on the phone. It was very cute. I could catch the words "snow", "outside" and "mower". It is so much fun to see these two outside playing together. I wish that I did not feel like hippo, or I would be outside playing too.

THANKSGIVING

So, I have been a total slacker with the posting. It has been so crazy with the holidays here. It seems like they just creeped up on us this year and it has been a whirlwind ever since! We had Thanksgiving at our house this year and had a wonderful time. I actually had to work (bummer), so Mitch and the rest of the family (mom, dad, aunt and uncle) were left to prepare the majority of the food. I was only upstairs (I work from home doing medical transcription) so I could supervise with a quick trip down the stairs. Thanks to everyone who came and helped out. Ohh, I totally forgot to take pictures too!

Also, we did our traditional Black Friday shopping again this year. I was at Walmart in Syracuse bright and early at 4:30, but not early enough. I went to get Jaycee a riding Barbee Jeep, but by the time I got there, they were all spoken for. People are crazy. There were people that had lined up for the electronics the night before! No worries, I did get her a Volkswagen covertible bug from a different store opening (more fitting I guess since Mitch is a Volkswagen technician). Mitch and I were shopping until 9 o'clock that night, but were very glad that when we were done that night, all our Christmas shopping was done.

Classic Fun Center

We took Jaycee over to the Classic Fun Center a little while ago here in Layton and she loved the blow up toys (Mitch did too)!!! They actually had quite a few and the ones with the large slides were her favorite. Mitch and I loved having her play in the toys because she could not get hurt. She jumped on them, ran off of them onto other blow up toys and loved it! It was great!

Reading

Jaycee loves to read books!!! She will sit for a long time just looking at them and talking out loud like she is actually reading what is written on the pages. Her newest thing (now that we have started potty training) is to take off her pants and sit on the toilet to read a good book. It is too cute and I had to take some pictures. She also loves reading to her stuffed animals, etc.
