Hershey Park

We decided to take the kiddos to Hershey Park last weekend to see the Christmas lights. Brooke was psyched of course because of her love of chocolate, inherited of course from me. I was a little nervous about the cold. I had a snowsuit for Jenna but had to go buy one for Jared. I am so sick of the boy clothes that have to have either trains or dinosaurs, or sports stuff on them. I found one plain snowsuit but it was thin and didn't seem too warm for a day outdoors. Next to it was a very fuzzy warm but very ridiculous looking blue puppy dog snowsuit complete with ears and tail. Function had to win out over fashion with this one for a day outdoors in 40 degree weather. I think Jared almost cried when I bought it. The look on his face when it was actually on him said it all. I will torture him with these photos when he's a teen. He looked so goofy but so stinkin' cute at the same time and it kept him soo so warm.


We had a great day and the weather was freezing but we had so much fun doing the rides and seeing the lights that it wasn't too bad. And the chocolate was fabulous!

One proud mommy

My little girl amazes me everyday. Most recently it was seeing her up on stage in her first dance recital. She danced to "Pajama Time". She did a great job and I couldn't be prouder!



I should also mention that after the show we saw Santa there and although he did seem to enjoy talking to the kiddies...he REALLY enjoyed talking to GG. He was actually hitting on her! He "made" her sit on his lap and even sang to her. He couldn't remember Brooke's name but surly remembered my grandmothers. Hmmm, Santa needs a new Mrs. Claus?

Santa, better watch that hand!

Jenna was fascinated with his beard.

A Little Behind...

Ever since Jared and Jenna turned 6 months my life has gotten super busy. I don't know where my days go and by 8pm I am exhausted. Luckily they are still on a good schedule. I still get everyone to nap at the same time everyday which buys me some alone time, except that it is usually spent vacuuming up Cheerios and scraping dried banana goo off the tile. But, I wouldn't have it any other way. Both babies are mobile now, Jenna does a traditional crawl and is cruising the furniture and Jared has gotten really good at his army crawl and is starting to pull up on things. They are really beginning to understand things we say to them and Brooke is still their favorite person. They're waving hi/bye and beginning to clap and I LOVE the spontaneous open mouth slobbery kisses I get!
Now that I have my Mac back I'm going to try to keep more current.
