John woke up this morning and couldn't walk upright. He thinks being 30 means he's geriatric. I woke up and decided to enjoy a Saturday morning of coffee and cartoons for hours without being stressed that 'studies show children under 5 shouldn't watch tv'... blah blah blah... those people don't have kids...
And I'm grateful that a long time ago I got over the need to have everything new and latest edition because my sister gifted me a great camera (to replace the Christmas broken one) and it was gifted to her by our grandpa, so it's well loved, but as long as it captures the cute fat rolls on little baby, I'm happy.
Christmas Eve day we had an amazing brunch. We ate our entire caloric allowance for like 3 days and Baby J got love from Auntie Shanna.
Here's Pinkie doing her best impression of an Angel. It only lasts for a few seconds though so don't blink and take a picture.
I wanted to make a lot of presents again this year. My GreatGrandma passed away in September and I was gifted her amazing stash of fabric (lots of polyester!). I found this cute pattern and made make-up bags for all her daughters, grand-daughters and great-grand-daughters. The outer fabric and lining came from GG's stash. I think they were cute and the sentimental value was important. I conquered sewing zippers, too!
For Pinkie and her 2 beautiful cousins, I made crayon rolls. I'd been wanting to make them forever! I think they are adorable. When Pinkie pulled hers out of her stocking, she said "No, thank you Momma. I don't want this." {heart crushed}But, they are adorable so I make her carry it around in her backpack. Ha!
A favorite place to go when the rain sets in here in OR is the Children's Museum. John, Pinkie and Baby are fixtures there. Pinkie loves the make-up station.
Baby J can roll over, crawl, pull himself up to standing, clap and wave. I love having a baby! His thighs and cheeks are so big I can't stop kissing him.
We made salt dough ornaments from Prudent Baby. I thought about entering their contest, but ours were not quite show worthy. But, glitter should did rock Pinkie's world for a good 30 minutes. (that's a pink reindeer, duh)
Pinkie had her first gymnastics show! It was awesome! She got (we bought) a trophy and it sits right next to her pillow most nights. Thank you to everyone who came to watch her!
