JB the Elf

One last thing about Christmas, I promise. This year my boys were visited about a week and a half before Christmas by JB Elf (stands for Jaxon, Beckham:)). He left this cute gift on the porch and rung the doorbell. He drew my kids pictures, and the box even had their last name on it!! My brother and sis-in-law did this for my kids, and they LOVED it! They took JB's visit VERY seriously, and all I had to do was remind them JB was watching and they were great kids until Christmas:). They also were constantly looking out the windows trying to get a sneak peek of JB! Thanks Jarod and Jess. You guys are the best!

Christmas in February

Well, hello blogging world. Long time no see:). Sadly I haven't had much interest in blogging lately. It really is sad because this is my journal of our lives, and it's not a good sign when almost six months go undocumented. At some point I'll try and go back and post about my little sis' wedding, etc., but not today. Today is reserved for two Halloween pics, then a little Christmas. We are FINALLY in our new house, and loving it! We love our new area, and all of the new friends we have made;).
Jax had actually decided to be a magician for Halloween, so we bought him a costume. He wore it to the trunk-or-treat, and then decided the hat with a rabbit on it was too funny to wear. Instead he became a ninja, for the second year in a row:).Isn't this the cutest skunk?!! He is kind of smelly though...seriously:).
Every Christmas eve we head to my Grandma Warren's house for a family party. This is my kids' only chance to sit on Santa's lap, since most of the time I'm too worried about germs to take them to Santa at the mall (they have been, it just skeeves me out:)).This is as close as we could get to Beckham sitting on Santa's lap. He's my most shy and timid child by far. Check out his face! Krew's first time sitting on Santa's lap. At least he didn't cry:) Next we headed home and got ready for Santa to visit us. We set out milk and cookies, and Jax wrote him a note:Krew's Christmas:It was an Imaginext Christmas at our house. My boys are OBSESSED with anything Imaginext. We now have almost complete sets of almost all of the Imaginext toy lines. Jaxon and Beckham got these from Santa...and these wrapped presents from Mom and Dad (almost all Imaginext of course):

I should have taken pictures after they opened all of their presents, but I was too busy with the camcorder. They were spoiled, and even more so at the end of the day! When asked, we clued everyone in to their love of superheroes, etc.
***Can I tell you how cute Beckham is right now?!! I will post pictures later, but he is COMPLETELY obsessed with superheroes. He goes throughout the day with the following in his pockets: Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, Joker, Two Face, Spiderman, Riddler, and Penguin. He even sleeps in his jeans because he has a meltdown if we even think of parting any superheroes from him. Once in a while, the superheroes are changed out for Wolverine, Ironman, etc, but he mostly sticks to the same ones. He also wears a Robin mask all day EVERY day, and even makes me call him "Robin" half of the time. I love it!!!

I'll TRY to post again soon...
