Jasper

It's been another fun year with Jasper this year.  He will be returning to the North Pole with Santa soon.  The kids will sure miss him and some tears have already been shed:-(  He really does become a part of our family.  We can't wait to see him again next year.  We love you Jasper!

Rylan did NOT like Santa, and I could not pry him off of me...so Mommy had to join in the Santa photo.

Kayla's Preschool Christmas Program

Tonight was Kayla's Christmas Program at preschool.  She picked out her own outfit she wanted to wear.  I was worried she would be shy and get scared when she saw the people in the audience when it came time to sing.  She was excited all day for the program and when it came time to go on stage and sing, she was ALL about it!  She stood up there and sang and had a fun time.  She amazed me once again:-)  It was so cute to see her up there with her class becoming such a big girl.  It was all I could do not to cry.  We are so proud of our baby girl and glad that she had fun at her first program!

 

 

 

Rylan's favorite part of the program was the cookies they gave out afterwards! 

KJ lost her 1st tooth!

Last Friday Kayla noticed her tooth was loose.  I couldn't believe she was already getting a loose tooth.  She kept messing with it ALL weekend.  It didn't bother her or scare her at all.  By Sunday night her tooth fell out.  She was just sitting in the chair (still messing with it) and says "Mommy my tooth just fell out".  She was super excited for the tooth fairy to come!  She left her a baggie of money that also had fairy dust in it!  I'm glad she wasn't freaked out by her loose teeth like her mommy always was! 

 

He's Baaaaack!

Jasper's back, and he's up to his old tricks again!  He has been hiding in things around the house, taking baths, and even pushing snow!  Kayla could not be more excited to see Jasper again this holiday season.  This year is even better because Rylan is understanding the concept of Jasper too.  The kids look for him as soon as they wake up in the morning.  (And now that Rylan realizes he is in a new spot every morning, sometimes he finds him first and that does not make his sister happy.)  Kayla was looking for him one day and Rylan will grab your arm and say "mere"  (come here) and take you to where Jasper is.  He even knows not to touch him.  He just waves at him and says Hi.  One morning Jasper was in Mommy and Daddy's bathroom and Daddy was getting ready for work.  Apparently Rylan thought Daddy was too close to Jasper because he kept pushing him away from the elf.  It was pretty funny.  Well, we are off to bed so Jasper can head back to the North Pole.  We will see where he is hiding in the morning ;-)
