I was invited to a cookie exchange/tacky sweater party at my friend, Lindsey's house Saturday afternoon. I threw together this tacky sweater the morning of the party. Lindsey made hers too. We had a really great time...we didn't just have cookies we had an ornament exchange and played pictionary and of course there was the tackiest sweater contest! I baked chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies. Frazier hung out in the kitchen with me and had a great time with my 1/4c. measuring cup!
Part II- iChatting and other activities
We get to iChat with my parents quite often, which is really nice and Frazier really seems to like it. I took these pictures on Sunday. He sits and plays with the keyboard and watches the screen like he really knows what he's doing. He mutes the voices, makes the video screen big and small and moves it around...you may call it accidental; I call it genius. ;)
Excuse the piles of laundry. :)
I decided early in the Christmas season the my go-to for holiday treats was going to be almond bark. Every time I had to take goodies somewhere, I covered something in white chocolate. Ritz cracker and peanut butter sandwiches, pretzels, pretzels cranberries and cashews. I even made some peppermint bark. It's served me well. :)
Frazier spends a LOT of time playing on this Christmas blanket in the middle of the living room these days. 
Part III- Yuletide Carols Being Sung By A Choir...
Josh joined the Christmas choir at church that did three songs for our Sunday-before-Christmas-Service. I thought they did a wonderful job! I tried to get a clip that showcased the male voices...and I tried to zoom in so you could see Josh, but it's kind of hard to do either while holding Frazier and a diaper bag!
You can just imagine how harmonic they were in person. I was so proud. :)

Part IV- Santa
Well, I did it. I took Frazier to the mall this morning and paid $20 bucks for a picture of him in Santa's lap with his hat askew. He was perfect, of course. He slept the few minutes we had to wait in line and then woke up happy and smiled for the picture. I really must say...I'm pretty sure the Longview Mall has the actual Santa. Real beard, awesome suit, super nice. Worth a 20? Maybe. 
YUM! Love the "sweater". Maybe I will see it in person? Josh loved measuring cups, too. I still have the ones he chewed on. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and I thought I actually thought I could hear Josh...wish we could have been there. Thanks for sharing.
About Frazier and the computer. I call it "genius" also! Seriously, I have no doubts he will have home row down before we know it! Brings back memories of Josh using the VCR when he was two. He did better than Jim and I and is still showing us tricks!
Anxious to see you guys!!
