Christmas

Here are a few pics of the kids on xmas eve and xmas day. The last one is of Sidra in her new chair from Grandma.

Christmas Eve

Anyone that knows me knows I love watching cake making shows. I found this awesome Christmas Eve cake so I thought I would share it with you. Merry Christmas Eve!

Santa Photo

I ventured to the mall with the kids yesterday. Thought I would share a picture of them with Santa (oh, with me too - excuse the glasses - I didn't expect that I would be getting my pic taken). If you see the looks on the kids faces you'll know why Mommy was in the picture. (not sure why the pic is so far to the right)

Polar Express

So, yesterday was the big event that we had been waiting for - we were going to the North Pole by way of the Polar Express. Sidra has been anticipating it for weeks. We had to drive 2 hours north to get on the train. It was by far the coldest day of the year and there was snow on the ground up there in Lincoln, NH. We hit a McDonalds while we waited since it was across the street and I swear the McDonalds gave you the feel that you were in Colorado. They even had dual fireplaces in the place. We finally got on the train waiting in line for a little bit. The train was decorated for Christmas with garland and wall decorations including xmas music. All of the children were dressed in their pajamas. We were greeted by the conductor and then soon after we were moving. Sidra was in awe the train and the idea of going to the North Pole to see Santa. Then it happened, they brought the best hot chocolate I have ever tried in my life - a little hot but oh so good. Even brought a piece of chocolate around to munch on while we rode the train. After a 20 min train ride we made it to the North Pole were we were greeted by Santa's elves with lanterns in their hands to lead us to the town (well, actually a theatre that was decorated to look like the town). We listened to the story of the little boy that didn't believe in Santa that took the Polar Express train and the adventures he endured. In the end he met Santa and believed in him. They had Santa appear and greet all of the kids. Sidra was not having any of him but Jefferson wasn't shy. Then when the story was overwith we started back to the train. The kids were beat and we took it back home but not after getting a little souvenir - "A Bell". (well back to where the train started) Home was 2 hours away.

Here are some pics of us on the train and one of Sidra in her pjs before we left the house.

Sidra's First Xmas Tree

Sidra and I picked out a tree the other night at Target for her bedroom. The choices were white, blue and green. She chose white, just like her Grandmother would have chosen. Then we bought some shatterproof ornaments for her tree and ours. Here are pics of the tree before and after along with some ones of her that I wanted to include since she's so cute. Thanks for looking.

The Boy's Birthday

Here are some pictures from Jefferson's birthday.

The Cake

So, here is the cake. I had some major problems with the cake as I was frosting it -way too much moisture and the frosting was peeling the entire cake a part. I'm embarrassed but here it is anyway. I did end up buying him one from the store as well since mine came out so bad. We ate both cakes.

One Year Ago

One year ago today you were born. I remember the day so well, it was Thanksgiving Eve when you were born. Your sister Sidra was at home with Grandma and Mommy and Daddy were at the hospital awaiting your arrival. From the moment you were born I knew you would be my Momma's Boy. Your pure milk white skin and reddish tint to your hair, I knew you were mine. As the months passed you grew bigger and bigger and became more alert and aware of your surroundings. Especially with your Sissy! You were in awe of her and still are after one year. Now that your big day has come I want to hold and squeeze you and pray that you never get any older. I want you to stay my little boy forever. Happy Birthday Jefferson.

Jefferson's Birthday

Friday is the big day! Jefferson will be turning 1 year old. I'm attempting a Baby Einstein cake for him. We'll see how it goes - I'll post pics of my creation. I'm so excited for my little man to turn one. He is so darn cute!

First Movie Picture

Sidra enjoyed the movie last night, despite that she has a cold. She was very curious of everything in the movie theatre. She must of asked me 100 times "what is that"? So cute.

Madagascar 2

We are taking Sidra to her first movie tonight - Madagascar 2. She is all excited about it and is looking forward to popcorn and candy. I'm glad that she will have some special time with Mommy and Daddy.

TGIF

Starting in the United States, it has become a common expression of relief at the end of the work week and anticipation of relaxing or partying over the weekend. The phrase was further popularised by the 1978 movie starring Donna Summer, Thank God It’s Friday. The phrase has also become common for advertising and promotional materials. On college campuses beginning in the 1970s, the phrase (sometimes shortened to "TG") became associated with Friday afternoon beer parties, usually held outdoors.

Get Clued into Layoff Warning Signs

I thought this was very fitting because of what is going on at my work:
Maybe you love your job so much you brush off hints that the company's wheels are starting to come off. Or maybe you despise your job enough that you pay no attention to anything other than getting through a full day. Maybe you don't think you have any reason to watch for signs you might be headed for a job loss.

But maybe you should. Even if you're doing well and things seem peachy in the workplace, it's never a bad idea to pay attention to hints that your job may be in jeopardy. Stay one step ahead of a layoff by heeding these warning signs.

Internal Problems: Things You Control

Sometimes we ignore obvious signs that the other shoe is going to drop, attributing negative signals to a bad phase that will quickly pass. Unfortunately, ignoring these signs can threaten your job security. Watch out if:

You Got a Bad Review or a Warning.
Your Boss Looks over Your Shoulder.
You Get the Cold Shoulder.
External Problems: Management Changes Beyond Your Control
You Get a New Boss.
Management Makes Changes at the Top.
There Are Rumors of Restructuring or Layoffs.
New Hires Don't Fit the Mold.
