Harry checking out his new scooter

Emma took a break from baking to try out her new scooter. She is beyond thrilled that hers is the EXACT SAME as Harry's. :)

Jay got Mario for Wii and had to try that out this morning. :) The kids are in their new outfits, Emma has butterflies and Harry has fleece, as per their favorite requests. Jay is wearing his transformer jammies that Harry picked out. He says, "now Daddy can be cool like ME."

Emma on Christmas morning!

I put a bow on Lola. She is NOT thrilled, but extremely cute and deceptively cuddly looking. :)

Harry got a super cool Batman transformer car/airplane. Jay, of course, commandeered it for awhile to "make sure it works." LOL.

Emma got a guitar- my little rockstar!

Jay and kids in their Christmas jammies

Her shirt says "Dear Santa, It was my Brother's Fault."

Vegas, baby!

Sorry this is late... I'm trying to play a little catch-up while I have some spare time. And a hubby at home, which is miraculous in itself!!

We flew back on Jay's plane, Emma conked out pretty quickly. Apparently, she wasn't too impressed with the KC-135.

Harry was THRILLED. :)

The kids snuggled up playing Leapster. :)

Mommy and her kiddos

They got to see Santa at the Ethel B Chocolate Factory, the outdoor cactus garden had a fabulous light show!!!

We went to the Shelby museum near the Speedway. SUPER cool, even Emma was impressed.

Harry's Birthday Party!

We had Harry's 4th Birthday party at the Funspot this year. :) It was cheap, easy, and he could invite everybody he wanted to! Love that place...! The kids didn't spend as long bowling as we'd planned, but they dug right into the pizza and ice cream cake once that was ready. Plus, they loved the treefort.

More pictures of his actual birthday on Thursday. Which should be pretty amazing, being that we'll be in VEGAS!!!! Whoo0-HOOOOOO!!!!

Emma-isms and Harry-isms

Thought I'd provide a chuckle for today:

Me: Emma, who took your socks off?

Emma: Diego

Me: No, Emma. Who took your socks off?

E: Maybe Daddy.

Me: No, Emma. Try again.

E: How about Harry?

Harry: Now that I'm 4, I think I will eat my hot dog buns.

Me: I'm so glad you're my little boy.

Harry: I"m not your boy, I'm Daddy's boy. Daddy is a boy like me. And Ga-Ga and Grampa.

Me: What am I?

H: You're a girl. Just like Emma and Gramma and Gramma Gerry and Gramma Mary.

Me: What about Auntie?

H: Well, she drives a red race car, so she's ALMOST a boy.
