Juliette's 1st Birthday

Ok, I am a little out of order. Juliette had a fun birthday (or at least i think so). She woke up to opening presents, fell asleep after opening presents and had a party in between. Jackson had a little trouble with the concept of not being able to open a gift but we will work through that. Let's just say good thing Juliette really didn't care (hahahahaha). I can't believe it has a been a year.

The following pictures at the party at her daycare. She had a ball eating cupcakes. PLUS I am classifying this as her first official steps. She took more then one step, it was more like 5 or 6.

Video Letter from Santa to Jackson

This was sent to Jackson from Santa. He must be a special boy to receive this. I guess he is on the nice list.

Christmas Card 2009

This is our Christmas card this year. I love it! We only ordered 30 and i wish i would have ordered more because i had to make a new one and it is good but not as good as this one. If you didn't get a card, it's probably on its way or i don't have your address. So please send me your address so i can get one out to you (you being the 10 readers who read this, lol). Sorry for the poor quality i had to scan it in.


I wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and wonderful NEW YEAR. My family and I would like to thank everyone for all their support in our lives. Sometimes we forget to say Thank You and We love you. So I am saying it now WE LOVE YOU and THANK YOU!!! We would also like to thank God for his many blessings he has given us.

Jackson loves Jingle Bells and Juliette loves to dance to it. So here is me singing Jingle Bells! LOL, I'll just type it. My kids are the only one who can appreciate my singing. I love to sing to them at night and love the Christmas Carols. I love to hold them and sign to them because i know that it won't last long.

Jingle Bells (first verse and chorus)

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight
(chorus)
: Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun [joy] it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun [joy] it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh:

Here is the history of this song. Pretty interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_Bells

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JULIETTE

Our little girl is one today. She has brought so much joy to us. She is a little ray of sunshine. Ok I will continue the tradition of posting the number of things (as the number of months, 12 month=12 things) we want to remember about Juliette.

1. You took 5 whole steps today. So i will call that walking on your birthday. You walked from me to your teacher, Ms Becky. YAY!!!! You are still the faster crawler. You are quick!

2. You love giving and blowing kisses. It is so sweet. You do it so much that at Sam's the other day a group of ladies walked by and started talking to you and you started blowing kisses. To cute.

3. I believe you are the cutest baby on earth. I am partial but i truly believe you are a beautiful baby.

4. You love eating big people food. I believe i am done buying baby food.

5. We put you in a car seat (not the pumpkin seat). We could turn you around but you being so small i have chosen to leave you facing backwards, we will take this day by day.

6. You are spoiled rotten. HAHAHHAHA. We did it to you and it is not always a bad thing. ;)

7. You love to play with anything that your brother is playing with. You love to take something when he is not looking.

8. You are not a loner. I believe you will be a social butterfly. You can't stand for us to walk out of a room without you.

9. When you hear music or anyone singing to you you bounce up and down like your dancing.

10. You are smart. You know your socks and shoes go on your feet, your arms go in your jacket, the thermometer in your ear. These are just examples. You are a genius. HAHAHA!!

11. We can't decide if you are going to mean or sweet. You like to "hit" but you love to give hugs and kisses. I hope you pick the sweet route. But your brother loves to "love" on you. His "love" id hugging you until you fall down and scream. He is trying to be sweet but doesn't understand this may hurt. So we will see how this turns out. But you love your brother. You are still a Momma's girl and i love that about you.

12. You hate Santa. You scream your head off when you get near him. I don't know rather to laugh or cry with you. I hope this passes. But it is funny.

As anyone can read you are an active little girl. We are truly blessed to have you in our lives. We love you!!

Here are some pictures the day Juliette was born and her birth announcement. Wow she was fat (but cute) when she was born, lol.

Your very first picture.

Here are some recent photos.

Polar Express 2009

We had a wonderful time on the Polar Express. The whole family wore matching PJs. The train picked us up and we sat in the silver maple train. While we rode on our trip to the North Pole we listened to the Polar Express book. We also sang Christmas Carols, Jackson and Juliette both ed loved Jingle Bells the best. Juliette would dance when she heard it. Jackson keep singing it over and over again. When we arrived at the North Pole Santa was standing outside in the freezing weather (literally, it snowed later on that night). Santa, Mrs Claus, and his elves joined us on the train where Jackson got to tell Santa he wants a transformer "optius prme" aka optimus prime and a train like Thomas. Juliette on the other hand screamed her head off. As we rode away from the North Pole we enjoyed cookies and milk. The kids also got their first gift of the season, a polar express ornament, and they each got a bell. Also the conductor came to visit Jackson. Jackson yelled "All Aboard". I believe both kids enjoyed them selves. This is something I will look forward to doing again next year.

(Yes that is Juliette screaming, LOL!!)

This is for you Gran B. Gran B introduces all of us to the Polar Express. You are in our thoughts and prayers, WE LOVE YOU!!
