My first Visit to Santa . . .

Jax did really good sitting in Santa's lap. I was not surprised that he was very curious, and was more interested in looking at Santa than the camera. I could see the little questions filling up his head already . . .
Are you really Santa Claus?
Boldly asked the little tot.
I truly think you are,
But someone said you’re not.
Did your elves make all the toys?
Can your reindeer really fly?
Do you know when I’ve been good?
Do you know when I tell a lie?
How do you make it all around,
Christmas Eve to everyone?
Do you like the milk and cookies?
Is climbing down the chimney fun?
Do you open all the letters?
Did you really read my list?
Do you lie awake nights thinking,
Of a house you may have missed?
Can I tug your snow white whiskers,
Just to see if they’re your own?
Did you come to see my mom and dad,
Before they got all grown?
I have one more question, Santa,
Please give an answer if you will.
Can you wake me Christmas morning,
And let us know you are real?
My Mom, my sister and I took Jax to the Enchanted Forest on Sunday.
He liked the Christmas lights.

He absolutely LOVED watching all the characters move.


He was not very fond of sitting in the fake snow though. What can I say, he's holding out for the real thing!!


After a very full day, he was exhausted. I managed to strip him down for his pajamas without him ever waking up.
***I finally got my Christmas Cards done yesterday. So I will be mailing them out this week. I'm sure it's not a surprise to any of you that they are late!
****Jax has 3 teeth coming in! 2 down front, and 1 molar in the top back. My poor baby . . .
****I will not be posting until after the new year!! I'll be off work for a few weeks, and I just canceled my painfully slow-make my blood pressure go up-dial up internet.

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Jax's 3 1/2 year old birthday party

Image
Yes, we love half birthdays! When you have a birthday too close to Christmas, it is so fun to celebrate a half birthday in the summer. Besides that, Lisa died the day before his birthday. Not an easy time for our family. My mom did this with me too...since I was a December baby..I sometimes had half birthday celebrations instead. Jax was very specific about his requests...he wanted a Rocky party...with Rocky and the Russian fighting on top of the cake. However, there was not enough room for both. Megan Lucius made the cake! I made the cookies...Lightning Bolt cookies..."When you eat lightning..." We had a poster printed up for a game...prizes were awarded based on which person caused the water balloon to break. It started storming in the middle of the party...all the kids came in for ice cream and cake. They watched Toy Story 2.(June 13, 2010)
