Christmas 2011- Part One Jarrett’s 2nd Birthday

Terence and I started off Christmas vacation with a bang!  As soon as I got off of work we drove straight through the night to Arkansas.  On Wednesday we celebrated Jarrett’s 2nd birthday.  It was so nice to see my sister and Jarrett.  I hadn’t seen them both since LAST Christmas….I know major sads 🙁

Bonnie had a monster party for little J and all of his friends and our friends came by to celebrate with us.  I’m so glad we all got to get together, we don’t do it often enough and it sure was nice to see the friends we grew up with….and all their kiddos too! 

Below are some pictures of the party and please continue to keep Bonnie and Jarrett in your prayers as they adjust to their new life there in Arkansas 🙂

Our sweet friends we grew up with
(Apparently I didn’t get the arm pose memo?)

All the gals and their babies
More Christmas fun to come……

We Made it HOME!

We had the BEST Christmas!
It had been a year since we’d seen Bonnie and Jarrett so it was extra special 🙂
I’m trying to recover right now and unpack all our things.  It’s back to the daily grind tomorrow. 
We had a rough trip home to say the least.  Connor has a croupy cough and then he threw up his lunch in the car.  (Of course I was the lucky one to clean that up!)

I was about to jump out the window….there’s only so much my nerves can take!  Poor baby got a bath when we got home and lots of sugars and now he is sleeping soundly for the moment. 

Lots of recaps of our Christmas vacay to come…..

Best Friends

We are having the best time visiting in Arkansas! 

Tonight was Jarrett’s 2nd birthday party and so many of our best friends from highschool were there….with all their kids too! I love you all and it was so wonderful to see you and your babies!

Christmas Celebrations Begin!

Last night we had dinner over at Aunt Loyce and Uncle Garry’s house.  They were so sweet to have all of us over.  We had a blast and it was a great way to kick off Christmas week!

After all the festivities are over I have gotsta get back on my diet….ugh….that is all.

Someone getting into the tree…..

If you want to see a frazzled fro headed Momma look below.  I just got off work and then drove home like a mad woman in the rain.  I had no idea my hair was looking so bad???  Terence doesn’t tell me these things!!!!  (Just keeping it real)

The fireplace with all the fur babies stockings

Terence’s Family…well some of them
We must not forget the chocolate fondue!
Enjoy the week with your loved ones!
Enjoy the moments and hug them tight!

Oreo POKE Cake

I made the oreo poke cake that has been on Pinterest.  It’s from HER website.
It turned out great so thought I would share 🙂

Crushed Oreo Cookies (optional)
Poke holes using the end of a spatula
Then poor 2 packages of oreo pudding mix over the top of the cake
Let sit in fridge for a bit
I covered mine with whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles!
I would give this recipe an A+ !!!!
