Pom Poms

Shelby had her last pom pom performance last night... the pictures all turned out dark, but I got 2, one is with her friend Carlie and the other is with some teachers from daycare that came to watch.

Breakfast with Santa

We went and had breakfast with Santa on Sunday morning.... Shelby did great and loves talking to Santa, Jimmy wanted nothing to do with him as you can tell from a picture down below.

All done....

Putting up the Christmas Tree

We put our Christmas tree up on Saturday. Jimmy had to get on the floor and make sure daddy was doing everything correctly. Daddy's little helper....

Posing in front of the tree before leaving for breakfast with Santa. Only the lights were on the tree for this picture.
Jimmy putting an ornament on the tree... their are 2 clusters of ornaments near the bottom of the tree where Jimmy put them. Now he needs to leave them alone.

Hockey Game

The Red Wings played the Coyotes on Saturday and we had to show our support for both teams, even though we were cheering for the Wings. Uncle Johnnie works for the Coyotes and sent Shelby this jersey last year. The Wings won in OT....

Christmas Pictures

Well, we went and got our Christmas pictures taken yesterday....boy was that an adventure. Jimmy does not like to cooperate for the photographer and will not leave my side. It took a lot of coaxing but we got a few decent shots. I hope he grows out of this or I will just have to explain to him when he is older the reason I have more pictures of Shelby is because she cooperated with me. But I am sure that won't last long either... she is my daughter and I hate to have my picture taken.

Scooby-Doo

We went to Big Boy last night to see Scooby-Doo with our friend Carlie and her mom. Grandma Bernal went also, but wouldn't get her picture taken with him...

Happy Thanksgiving

Sorry this is late... I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now the fun begins... Christmas shopping. Here are some pictures I took of the kids on Thanksgiving day.

Lost Tooth

Last Wednesday when I called home to talk to Shelby and Jimmy; Shelby told me that she had a loose tooth. Well, last night the tooth fell out.

Since Shelby has a hurt tooth, Jimmy had to show us his tooth. If you ask him if he has a loose tooth he will tell you, YES.

Shelby didn't want the tooth fairy to come even after we told her that she would bring her money for her tooth, for some reason she is scared. So Shelby made this sign to keep the Tooth Fairy away. Daddy handled everything and told the tooth fairy to leave Shelby's money with him. She got her money this morning from under daddy's pillow.

We had our niece and nephew's birthday party on Sunday. Here are Jim and Jimmy hanging out on the couch

Trick or Treating

Every year we go to our friend's the Abbott's for trick or treating... not a lot of house's around us to trick or treat at. Here is Jimmy, Riley and Shelby in their costumes.

Jimmy wouldn't stand still to get a good picture, I guess he had some packages to deliver
Both Grandma's were able to go out with us this year... it was a lot of fun and the weather was great, the kids didn't have to wear a coat

Daddy and Jr.

This house had their lawn all decorated... Jimmy would not turn around for the picture. He was too fascinated with the inflatable skeleton that kept rising out of the coffin.

All done
