Arrival Home

When we got home to Montgomery after Christmas trip to Ottawa. Santa left all the gifts here!!!

 

 

 

Christmas 2012 (Canada)

 

Girls got an early gift so they could play in the snow. New boots from Grandma and Grandpy.

 

Ready for his "first snow"

 

With 15 or so stockings to hang...only the important ones get to "actually" hang now ;0) Ha!

 

 

We are ready!!!!!

 

 

Reilly was really happy to get this Afro Clown Wig with her Madagascar movie.



Stockings!!!

 

Jimmy helps his buddy open her gifts.

 

 

Everyone got plenty of hugs from Jimmy. He was so happy.

 

 

 

Jimmy's kinda-first snow

Since we haven't really had snow in Chicago and well, last time we were in Ottawa for Winter, Jimmy was too young. So, really, this is his first time playing in the snow.

 

Mommy helped build a fort. Had to wear my Dad's outerwear because I didn't bring any winter cloths to Canada. Oops!

Jimmy's Star Wars Party

 

Star Wars party for Jimmy. He loved the balloons.

 

 

He really, really wanted to see what was in the BIG box!

 

He loved his new big boy basketball net!

 

So did Audrey!!!!

 

Darth Vader!!!!

 

Light Saber wars with Grandpa Dan!

 

To end the night...Jimmy finally got his bed turned around. He is now truely in a "big boy" bed! I hope that he doesn't wake me up playing trains at 5am|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd Grade Musical

Jimmy's birthday

Well, he woke up to Darth Vader balloons outside his door. And although, he is still confused on what a birthday is and how he is now 3 and why he got presents and a party...He seemed super happy with everything ;0) And yes, he was SICK again! still is...my poor baby.

 

Light Sabers I made for his friends to take home.

 

Kid party at Bouncetown. He has soooo many girlfriends. One day he will realize how important this is ;0)

 

 Korissa, Emma, Addison and Briana (back), Sophia (front) and Jimmy. Notice his awesome Yoda shirt from Grandma Joyce and Grandpy!

Cheeseburger at McDonald's. His favorite. He would trade all the cookies, ice cream, cake and junk in the world just for a cheeseburger ;0) And yes, that is Chewbacca next to him.

 

 two favorites...Chewbacca doll and Dream Lite pillow pet. I let him take Chewbacca to bed and heard him multiple times over the monitor...that famous Chewy cry. The Dream Lite was also a big hit...he now has a cool nite-lite like his sisters do.

 

 

 First, I need to mention his new thing since our Canada trip...sticking out his tongue for pics just like Granny. Thank you to Granny for that. Here he is snuggling and watching Star Wars with his essentials...Sox Pillow Pet, Chewy, Dream Lite, Bee, Tuffy and Romy. He also made Reilly and Emmy go get all their Beanie Boos for the event.

Christmas Tree 2012

Out ot Kuiper's Farm for our 5th annual tree cutting. One year there was two feet of snow and freezing, one year was just damn freezing, one year it was sunny and t-shirt weather, this year it was mild and dreary. Well, that is Chicago weather for you...we never know what we are going to get.

 

 

Ahhh...we picked a good one (one of us was not on board and wanted a different tree...geeeze, can you guess who?)

 

Girls decided to wear their Santa hats. Loved it.

 

Jimmy loved the tractor ride out and back.

 

Jimmy gets to put the Angel on the tree since he is the youngest.

 

The perfect amount of fighting, tantrums, crying, whining, and time-outs to make it a true Judd family Christmas. Yeah! I secretly love being "the crazy people".
