Jaden goes to the movies!

Yes I am an awful mother! Jaden is 3 years old and has never been to the movie theater! Mainly because I dont like to go myself. I hate spending all that money to watch the movie when we can either rent it or buy it when it comes out for alot less. But I decided it was time that Jaden experience the big screen for the first time. I wanted to do it this week since Rusty was home and he could go to. Why should I suffer alone? So yesterday we decided to go and check out the new chipmunk movie. It was pretty good. And you know I took my camera!

She loved the movie and set through the whole thing. I feel like there will be many more movies in our future. Yhea!

Christmas Day! (AKA the day Toys R Us puked in my living room!)

Finally the big day came! Christmas! Jaden woke up and told me she was so excited and said she had seen Santa out the window. After calling down to Rusty to make sure he had the camera rolling we made our decent. This is what my little angel saw!

The first thing Jaden did was check out the cookies and milk! She was suprised to see that Santa had eaten most of the cookie and drank all the milk!

You would think that Jaden would just start ripping into packages but no! I think that she was overwhelmed with all the presents! Santa seems to have gone way overboard this year along with all the gifts she had from Rusty and I. I have decided to let Santa know that next year is going to be a little smaller for both Jaden and her soon to be brother. So this was her last HUGE Christmas! She finally started opening the gifts from Rusty and I. She is very neat and had to take every piece of paper off the gift before we moved onto the next gift!

Finally it was time to move on to Santa's gifts! Santa decided to get Jaden's two favorites Dinosaur Train and Dora!!! By the end Jaden was saying "another Dora!" when she opened her gifts! We had a little bit of Southern and Northern Santa going on. In the south the gifts were unwrapped and in the north they were wrapped. This year if the gifts were in square boxes they were wrapped! If the boxes were not easy to wrap they came from the southern Santa!!! :-)

A couple hours later Jaden was finally done opening gifts and the rest of us got to open a few gifts!

Yep mom is goona kill me but next time she will get dressed before we open gifts!

Then Jaden got to open her gift from Mamaw Gracie! Jaden loves money!

Afterwards it was play time and of course for Rusty, nap time!

Then we realized Jaden had hid her gift from Aunt Betty and of course she had to open that!

Lancie was alittle sad because she got nothing!

We skyped family in Mississippi and carved the turkey!

Jaden chillaxed for awhile playing her new games.

Then lunch was served and the princess got to sit at the head of the table so everyone could watch her eat!

Finally the day ended with all of Jaden's dinosaur singing a chorus of Dinosaur train and Jaden learning how to change her baby's diaper! She was not to impressed with that!

Yhea my Christmas posts are over! But I have to add a few pics from earlier in the week. I used my smaller camera and just downloaded them. Here is JJ in her cute Christmas outfit from her Aunt Bonnie in MS!

And here she is acting crazy before bed. Notice her new t-shirt!!!

Week before Christmas fun and Christmas #2!

Jaden and I did a little cookie decorating the week before Christmas. We decided not to leave the house since I wasn't feeling all that great and I didn't want Jaden to get sick before Christmas. (Luckily Jaden escaped the stomach flu that her cousin was passing out)



Her new cheesy crooked grin!
Caught her eating the decorations!

The next day it was time to decorate our gingerbread men!


My parents arrived on Thursday so it was time to go to the zoo and check out the lights. Unfortunately we didn't stay long because it started to rain!


Christmas eve we spent doing more cooking and decorating! We also added in a little playtime!





There is that smile again!


I decided to bake my first apple pie! Although it doesn't look that great it tasted pretty good!

We decided to let Jaden open her gifts from my parents and family that afternoon. Something told us that Santa was going to go overboard and if we didn't start opening early we would be there for hours!




Thank goodness Nana and Papaw were there to hold the presents!

After a nice dinner out we came back home and Jaden and I put food out for the reindeer! No one else could brave the wind and cold! Southerners! Jaden decided the perfect place for the food would be by our fake reindeer!



After a while it was time to bid our elf Elmer goodbye until next year and then leave out our cookies and milk for Santa!



Just one more Christmas post!!!
