Proud parent moment: # 1,000,001 :P

This morning, after returning home from my exercise class at the Y, I said "goodbye" to Jason as he left for work, greeted all three kids with "good morning" wishes, and then went to take a shower.
After the 15 minutes needed to get myself ready for the day, I walked out into our living room to find this...

To my surprise, Jackson had taken it upon himself to "cook" (using the microwave)breakfast for all three of them!
And, as if that weren't enough to declare this a true proud parent moment, what's more is... They were all eating happily together!
There weren't any fights to break up, or scrambling to get breakfast out on the table because they were STARVING!... Nope, just peace and quiet, contentment, and smiling faces. It was such a great way to start the day!

Four Christmases

Our family had four Christmas celebrations this year. All occurring on different days, close to home, surrounded by loved ones...and of course, lots of presents, food, and three very excited children!

We were blessed with good health and many happy memories this year.

And, since pictures speak louder than words...

Christmas #1:
Sunday, December 23rd at Grandma Barb's and Grandpa Terry's.

Grandpa Terry made this doll house!...2 of them, actually. One doll house for Jessica and Lia, and one for cousin, Maddy as well.

Green Bay played the Tennessee Titans on this Sunday, giving our Packer family reason to sport all their Packer apparel.
Jason and I didn't dress up for the game, but those reindeer antlers have to count for something...:)

Christmas #2:
Tuesday, December 25th at home.
Christmas Day tradition for our family -- play with toys, play games, watch Christmas shows on TV, eat pancake breakfast, snack on Christmas cookies throughout the day, and stay comfy, cozy in our PJ's.

Stocking stuffers...
