a week before christmas

Its less than a week till Christmas now! Saturday got us in the spirit. We started the morning with an extra long line at Starbucks (I needed my eggnog latte!), then to Danny's work who had Santa in for the kids. It was really sweet of them PLUS we didnt have to wait in a long line. After that, we headed to Easton for some shopping.

Danny and Jack waiting for Santa.

Who's this "Santa" you keep talking about?
Who this guy? He is kinda scary....
He is squishing me.
We are looking at the professional camera in this one.
After shopping we got supplies for our xmas cookies. This year Danny made his classic wreaths, chocoloate chip cookies (which he pulled a Margaux and forgot the brown sugar). I made chocolate truffles and sugar cookies (my sugar cookies were made from packaged dough and they spread while cooking so they lost their shape and I screwed up the frosting - so overall worst sugar cookies ever but they taste good).

Snow, Baileys, Bud Lights, Holiday movies, cookies, and a fire. Nothing was better this Saturday.

Tis' the Season!

This week definitely made it feel like the holidays! It was busy! Jack and I went lots of places: Debi's to visit her and Grace, grocery shopping, Target, Babies R Us, Grandpa's House, Uncle Jason's House, and Gina's House!

Its been really cold so Jack had to bundle up!

Thursday night was moms 61st Birthday. We had a nice dinner at Jasons.



Friday we went to Grandpa's. There is an artists studio sale this weekend so dad and judy were getting their stuff done. This is a robot that my dad made named "Neon-a-tron" - he says its Jacks robot :) I put jack in his new rocket onesie so we had to get a pic of them together.



Friday was our "clubs" holiday party. We of course showed up rocking our ugly xmas sweater vests and we even got jack an ugly xmas onesie! He hated getting his picture taken - i dont blame him .




We exchanged giftcards this year. I thought it was funny for us to give cards that had remaining balances...yeah it was pretty funny. Gina didnt.
Saturday Danny finally got some xmas lights up - he didnt put that many but at least we have some. the weathers been cold so a break in the temps allowed him to get out there! Its a bad cell phone pic.

Sunday we got a few inches of snow :) So pretty. Perfect football watching weather with a pot of chili!

Holidays are here

We had some snow this week but nothing too big (though it was super pretty!!). The tree went up the day after Tday but I needed a new skirt and I wanted to add red ribbon this year (in the past Ive done it but didnt have any so had to buy some). Its been freezing and it snowed last night little so no xmas outdoor lights yet. If we dont get them up this year - no big deal. We are kinda busy :)

Tree at night

6 weeks

6 weeks already! He is getting BIG (for a margaux and danny baby:)! We had a checkup on Tuesday - 9lbs 14 oz, 21.25' long and head is 15.25"! I bet he is over 10lbs today...he is getting heavy!

I also had my 6 week checkup....everything is great. We also got a picture of Jack with Dr Sabol since we forgot at the hospital. It was destiny that she be my OB (Ive had her since I moved here). We found out her son is Jack Christopher AND has a golden retriever named Parker!!!! CRAZY!!!!

This week was uneventful, did have a little snow though! Heres some of my favorite pics!

Grandpa and Bachan got him this highchair - of course its to soon to use it but we tried it out! He is great with his head up and did a great job. Cant wait!!

Napping :)

With Dr Sabol! he looks smooshed.

Bathtime!! He loves it!

Dannys cousin Vinnie and Andrea sent Jack the coolest gift - a Coopertown bat with his info engraved! So awesome. It will be hanging in his room soon!

He is starting to follow things more and he loves the rattle...

Here he is in the bumbo...again still too early (they say 3 months) but he holds his head up so great we had to try and he rocked it!
