Buddy the Elf, What's your favorite color?

Well, this past weekend was fun!!

Friday Night: We went to dinner for Northwoods Restoration Christmas Party..Jake and I had a great time, there were even door prizes!! Jake got a $10 gift certificate to Buccilli's (which has the best pizza in Michigan, let me tell you...), I got a $10 gift Card to Walmart!! After we were done with dinner, we opened presents with Caleb and Jake's Parents because Caleb had to work on Sunday for the family's Christmas. It was a nice time, after opening presents we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks with Jake's niece Taylor! She is just adorable!! In the middle of the movie everyone was tired and decided to go to bed! Then Jake and I opened presents together, we cant wait long to open presents...haha..But I got a GPS!!! I was soo excited. Jake got Indiana Jones movies, a deep fryer and two magazine subscriptions. I told Jake the money he was going to use for my stocking I wanted to use towards toys for tots.

Saturday: Caleb and I made breakfast, we had chocolate chip and recess's peanut butter chip pancakes, they were delish!! After that Jake and I headed out to Boon to do a final clean up. After we were finished cleaning up. We headed to Walmart to get a couple presents for toys for tots. We got a girl present and a boy present, I picked out the girl present and got a huge thing of play food! Jake picked out a really neat Car toy. Then we headed back to the house were we got to relax and spend time with Jake's niece Taylor. We watched, Rudolf the red nose reindeer and then we watched the cartoon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was lots of fun!! She is just way too cute!!

Christmas, Christmas time is near

Good Morning everyone!

Jake and I have been very busy this month, sorry for not updating lately. Where has the time gone. Here are some pictures of the snow we have had this past month!

We are currently living with Jake's parents in Houghton Lake and is great because we get to spend a lot of time with all his family and see his neices and nephews more often, which we love, as you all know Jake is a kid at heart still, so he has tons of playmates now =).

I have been watching his nieces, Ally,Lexi and Liya after schools and the two snow days we have had. Which I LOVE doing!

Lexi is 7 and on the bottom, Ally turned 12 on the 16th and Liya who is 6.

While staying with Jakes parents, I had such a good time being able to help Pam and a few of the kids make snowman cookies, snowman craft and Christmas cards for their parents.

Here are some pictures from that day =)

Ally,Lexi,Liya, Mikahla, and Jarrett

Ally is in 6th grade and she recently had a band concert. She play flute. (she is the one with the white headband)

Jake and Pam at Ally's Concert:

We have had lots of moving to do, it was no fun with just the two of us. It really was no fun but we are finished and that is all that matters, all we have to do now is a final clean up and our lease is up at the end of December.

Here is a picture of the ice hanging off the side of the barn in the front of the house in boon. How crazy looking!!

This is Jake cutting down his parents Christmas Tree:

This will be my first Christmas Eve in 21 years not there,( I am not sure what I am going to be doing with myself that day) we wont be getting into Illinois until late Christmas Eve or Early Christmas Morning.
