Holiday decorating

Every year, mommy loves to go out shopping on black Friday.  She didn't plan on going out early this year but since Jaden and I had her up during the night, she decided to just go out!  She said that she was glad that she did since it was empty and there were still good deals!  She then meets up with nae nae and grandma k for more shopping and lunch! 

Mommy found this big doggie for the "watch me grow photos for the new baby"
Later in the day, we decorate our Christmas tree and house for the holidays!  I was so excited to help this year!  Mommy said that I was an awesome help and I was even telling her where things went last year!  Mommy and daddy think I have a really good memory!








 
 
Jaden and I also helped mommy make a count down chain tonight!  I loved the idea of cutting and Jaden enjoyed gluing the pieces (when he wasn't trying to eat the glue or climb onto the table!).  We are super excited to tear off a ring each day until Christmas!
 
 



 
 


Thanksgiving

We love this time of year!  It is filled with family, food, football and fun!  Yesterday we had the whole family over for Thanksgiving!  I was so excited to help make pies and set the table.  We even set Jaden and I a special little table for just us kids (and my babies).  We have so much to be thankful for this year and are grateful for everyone special around us.  Happy Thanksgiving!!




Grandma K made these turkeys!

Playing Catch Up

Mommy and daddy have had a lot going on so we are a bit behind in our blog entries!  We have been busy with all sorts of stuff!  We have been visiting daycares, looking at houses and holiday shopping!  With the weather being cold already, our time outside is limited so the basement playroom is back in full swing.  We spend lots of time down there!



As everyone knows, I certainly love my dolls!  I spend hours bathing, dressing, feeding and taking pictures with them!  Jaden likes to help me but I often get mad when he doesn't "handle" them the "right" way!  He does know all their names and that is a lot to remember!

Mommy finally agreed to let Jaden get the dinosaur hat that matches his gloves that he loves even though it doesn't match his jacket.  He loves loves his hat and is so proud to wear it!

Today we were running around doing some errands.  Our plan was to visit Santa at an outdoor festival near us but with the weather being so cold and windy, mommy said that we didn't need to get sick.  I was so disappointed until mommy said that we could visit him at the mall.  I was super excited and even said that I would sit on his lap....until we got there.  Jaden and I both decided to watch from the sidelines!
Then we were off to see Clifford at the library.  That event also didn't work out as planned but we at least picked out some books and CDs!  Jaden and I love our books and music!!


We visited grandma and grandpa Christie this weekend too!  Grandpa has been through a lot so it was good to see him smile and laugh with us!

1st Snowfall of the Season

Mommy is not a huge fan of this weather and much prefers the warm, sunny weather but since we still get excited over it, she thought we should go and enjoy the 1st snowfall of the season today!  We actually enjoyed getting bundled up and we both played so nice outside!  Mommy said that we are at great ages to do so many things!  It was great to get out and burn off some energy!
I love to help Jaden get ready

Toronto Aquarium

Mommy loves to keep her "lists" and on her bucket list of things and places that she wanted to get to this year was the Toronto Aquarium.  It just opened a month or so ago.  We certainly love our aquatic animals and since it is not too far away, we decided to take a day trip this weekend!  It was certainly very busy but it was a neat experience!  Jaden and I got to touch a shark and sting ray!  Mommy thinks that it is awesome that Jaden and I know most of the names of the animals since we are always going places and reading books related to animals!



 







I love to help Jaden and show him where to go!
