Gingerbread Christmas Card

I usually am good about getting a family picture, or at least one of the kids and sending Christmas cards. This year it just didn't happen. If I had gotten around to doing Christmas cards this picture is about what they probably would have looked like.

Merry Christmas, sorry you didn't get a card from us...there's always next year.

Scouts

Jackson earned his Wolf!!!

Jacob earned his Webelos Badge and now has 5 activity pins!!!

(Thanks Dad)

Mom had fun making the Train cake for dessert.

Jackson played the part of Dad in his 3rd grade Music program. He did a great job and said all his parts perfectly!!!

Jacob's Piano Recital

Jacob's piano recital was incredible! He played 3 songs and did a great job. The video is about two minutes long and you can see it by clicking on the link below :)

If anyone local is looking for a great piano teacher...

Do you think they like Mario Kart too much?

I found this on my floor. Upset that someone left trash on the floor I went looking for the culprits. Turns out Jeremy and Joshua deliberatly left their peels on the floor and were waiting to see who would slip on them. You have to give them points for style, it looks like one peel was laid out to look like the video game.

Zach and Cody

"Zach come on let's go downstairs. I'm coming Cody."

Anyone with kids that watch disney will understand. This twin thing has been going on for a long time, with Joshua and Jeremy. It was just today I realized where it came from.

The Best Little Garage Cleaner

Last weekend I found this cute kid cleaning out the garage with dad. He saw the goggles and asked Brandon to get them down for him so he could work.

He was on his hands and knees vacuuming up every leaf.

He even got under the shelves. There was not A LEAF LEFT when he was done, and he was not casually working, he was quick and on a mission to do a good job.

Good job Buddy!

All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

Jackson just lost his other front tooth!!! And just in time for Christmas :) It's now a favorite song in our house, now we just need to learn all the right words...

Jacob at the 5 Browns

Jacob and I went to see the 5 Browns when they were in town. (5 siblings that play concert piano) I didn't think to take my camera out of my purse (not normal for me) when we were there, so I have a picture of him and the CD cover that they signed. It was a great concert and since then Jacob has been loving to play his fast pieces even faster, and really gets into with his head and arms like they did.

When I was taking his picture I kept saying, just one more, just one more, just to tease him. I love how his eyes get wider and his smile faker. These are the pictures I usually delete, but I can't, they make me laugh. You can almost hear him whining MOM through his gritted teeth.
