One week until Christmas?!! How is that even possible! We had a very calm and relaxing weekend. Saturday Em had dance class (see video below...) in the morning, and then we braved the mall (which really was not that bad). We did not go in a single store, just did some people watching, got some food and walked around. Just nice to be out of the house a bit! Sunday we had church and grocery shopping and then just hung out at the house. Em is SO EXCITED for Santa! Jords is finally sleeping a bit better (I hate to even write that down...hopefully it'll continue!)

 Family Holiday Sing-a-long

Staying Warm!

We are getting so close to Christmas!! Em got to go see the Nutcracker this weekend with Nana-and loved it! Jords and I hung out and wrapped presents. Poor Chris is sick with pneumonia, so I also spent a lot of time scouring the house to make sure no one else gets sick! Jords is freaking cute, but has forgotten he is supposed to sleep at night (been getting up 2-3 times-hope to break him of this soon!!). Other than that, one more full week of work to go until freedom!!

 Em and I made cookies! 

Well, we had to deal with our first official sickness for Jordan. Fever of 103, rash and just for fun a tooth coming in. Yeah, so no sleep for the household! But we are on the mend and focused on the Christmas spirit. I took Jords and Em to see Christmas lights (around town) the other night, just because we had to get out of the house. Hopefully this weekend we'll be able to do some more fun stuff!

 Christmas lights!

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for this year, but must of all are these two wonderful kids. We have the most amazing kiddos, I cannot get enough of them! We hosted Thanksgiving and it went off without a hitch. Em actually sat at the table for the whole meal, and Jordan slept through the meal and clean up. Can't ask for much more! We did some shopping, got the tree up. All and all, great time off with the family! 

 Happy Kids! 

 Em got sleepy, so took a nap in the hallway

 This kid lights up my world! 

 Love them! 

Em insisted taking a pic with this mannequin. She even got matching headbands of them to wear! 

Yay for a two day work week! Boo for a sick Emmy!! She started tossing her cookies last night, so hopeful she is feeling better for lots of eating later this week! Not much to report other than we had our first snow fall-only Em was excited...

Jordan's Baptism!

It's been a rough week, so glad we had something to celebrate! Jordan was baptized on Sunday! He wore the same baptismal gown that was worn by Claudia, Chris, Adam and Emma Clare. Pretty special! It was a great day with family and friends, and a time to celebrate our little miracle!! I have a ton of pictures, so I'll keep this short! Thank you for everyone who came out to celebrate this special little guy!

 Jords looks thrilled! 

 Sleeping little man! 

 He smiled the whole time!

 Ok, he is too cute! 

 Jordan and his Godparents!
