Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

It started snowing early Saturday morning and didn't stop until very late that night. I have no idea how many inches we technically got, because there was a lot of wind which created drifts in some areas. But I'd say we got a foot and a half at least. We were snowed in pretty much on Saturday and had to dig our way out today. Jason went out this morning to shovel the sidewalk and made a path to his car. Our court had not been plowed yet so it was pretty bad. The roads were decent though. He went out to get us some breakfast and then I went out later to dig my car out. I ended up going to get gas and some groceries. After Jaxin had taken his nap, I bundled him up and took him out to play in the snow. The first snowfall we had, he had bronchitis and wasn't able to go play. He was super excited and had a ton of fun. He threw a lot of snowballs at me and even made a snow angel. We only stayed out for about ten minutes because we were getting cold and his nose started running. I had to practically drag him inside. He was so upset that we had to go in. I promised him Daddy would take him back out tomorrow while I'm at work. He told me he wants to build a snowman when Grandpa comes to visit. (Jason's Dad is driving in on Tuesday for the holiday.) He told me all about how he has to give it eyes, a nose, a mouth, arms & a hat & scarf. :)

Breakfast With Santa

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Every year Santa rides through each court on a fire truck w/the lights & sirens on. Jaxin loves looking out the window and waving at him. He really enjoys seeing the fire truck too!

Naughty or Nice?

We took Jaxin last Saturday on a carriage ride w/ Santa Claus. It was something the community was doing for the kids and it was free! We did leave a tip though. Jaxin sat beside Santa the whole time (it was only a 2 minute ride) and told him what he wanted for Christmas. He said he wanted a dinosaur, a dumptruck, and lots of toys. Santa asked him if he'd been a good boy and Jaxin said, "Oh yeah!" He told Santa that he'd been going pee pee on the potty a lot. Santa said he would work on getting him a dumptruck as long as he was a good boy. Santa told him goodbye and gave him an activity coloring book. I am so glad that he's not scared of Santa this year. Yay! We're going to take him soon to get pictures taken w/ Santa at the mall. When I ask him if he wants to go see Santa, he replies, "Yeah! I go see Santa and sit on his lap and tell him I want toys!" :)

Strasburg Railroad

He heard the train whistle and was excited!

So cute! He was holding Daddy's hand most of the way.


Pumpkin patch...many were smashed!

We took a trip to the Strasburg Railroad Station a couple of weeks ago and took a 45 minute train ride through Paradise, PA. Jaxin enjoyed it and was excited to see the trains. He loved the train whistle. Perhaps we'll go back again when they have Thomas the Train there or when Santa visits. We got there late in the day and didn't get to walk around much to look at the shops they had. Plus, we want to visit the museum next time as well! It was a chilly day, but we all had fun.

Turkey Day

We spent Thanksgiving at Nana & Pop-Pop's. Nana tried to sneak Jaxin some real mashed potatoes & turkey, but he knew before he even took one bite that it wasn't one of his graduate meals. He's such a picky eater! He did have a lot of fun playing w/ Nicky & Tommy (Frank's grandson & son). Jaxin was laughing so much I thought his belly was going to hurt! I put him in his Indian costume for part of the day and he asked me if he was going trick or treating. haha :) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Trick Or Treat

Jaxin had a lot of fun this Halloween. He got to go trick or treating several times. We went once at a local strip mall. Once at the main mall. And finally we trick-or-treated around our court on Halloween. He absolutely loved going and continued to ask me for several days if he could go again. I couldn't believe how much candy he received! He got to enjoy some of it, as did Mommy & Daddy. Then whatever was left that we didn't want I took to work. He made such a cute lil Indian Boy. He let me paint his face a few different times & was pretty good for his pictures we had taken. I wonder what my lil monster will be next year!
