Santa Baby

Well, we went down to see our favorite Santa again this year because last year's experience was so good! However, she has not reached the "scared of Santa age" and we got some GREAT screaming pictures! I must say that the Santa was very sweet and just kept talking to Jadyn trying to get her to calm down.

I screamed every year I saw Santa. Mom says it's just pay backs :)

Here is last years picture:

Okay, now here is the picture from this year:

 

She is still super  cute... Even when she is upset! 

Christmas dresses

We had more pictures of Jadyn taken. This time we did them in her Christmas dresses. She has three dresses but we only made it into 2 dresses at the photo shoot. We got a lot of super cute pictures.  Jadyn is very photogenic when she is happy :).

 

 

 

Thanksgiving...Part II

Saturday night we celebrated Thanksgiving with Greg's grandparents and his Uncle & fam. It was a good time! Jadyn had a ton of fun crawling all over the place and playing. We all played games and just sat around and talked. My favorite was Mall Madness... "Hey Scott"... anyhoo he had fun! Here are a few pictures from our adventure. JOEY AND DANIEL... MY GOAL at Christmas is to get a picture of you guys with Jadyn. I didn't accomplish this at Thanksgiving so I am giving you the burden. :)

This is Jadyn taking her morning nap on Saturday. She is using her bear as her pillow and her legs are crossed. She is so stinkin' cute!!

I love her eyes in the picture below!

She likes to climb up into the rocking chair all by herself! 

 

We love our sweet baby Jadyn!! 

Happy Black Friday!

We had a great Thanksgiving Yesterday. My cousin Eric and his family came to my Mom's for Thanksgiving this year. It has been a few years since we have seen them so it was great! They have 4 kids so we had a houseful! Their youngest was born the day after Carter. Anyway, we had fun. Here are a few pictures I captured from the day.

My Mom made cupcakes for the kids to decorate as one of the desserts. Jadyn was with her Papa and together they "ate" the decorations. Jadyn has a sweet tooth like you wouldn't believe!

Jadyn had icing all over her mouth...and she LOVED it. The girl cracks me up!











This is Carter, Jadyn's cousin (my brother's youngest). Carter loves cake. He always eats it with his hands. Again, absolutely cracks me up!

The other picture is Jadyn playing with a chair I think my Dad brought back from Haiti. It is a small chair and she likes to sit in it and bang her feet against the floor. Yesterday, she figured out she could also pick up the chair and carry it...if she would walk.

This last picture is so cool! This is Grandad (My Mom's Dad) with all of his Great-Grandkids.

Jadyn wasn't very happy.

This morning Mom and I went to the Legends and we took Jadyn with us. Jadyn got up at 7 and we left at 7:30. We had a good time and I only got snippy with one person who dared to ask me why I got Jadyn up so early. In case you are wondering JADYN GOT UP ON HER OWN AT 7. JUST LIKE SHE DOES EVERY DAY. :)

Exploring!

I have the cutest little girl! I just love her. She is doing so many new and cute things. In the mornings now when she wakes up she babbles for a long time and then when she is ready to get up she starts yelling " DA-DA" It is so sweet! Greg usually jumps right up (with a HUGE grin on his face) to get her... he's not a proud Daddy or anything!






Jadyn still won't wear shoes but she loves trying to put my shoes on her feet. It is hard to get a picture of it because whenever she sees the camera she stops to smile. Maybe, I've taken a few too many pictures... Oh well.

 

 

She also has discovered the joys of an empty milk jug. She carries them wherever she goes banging them on the ground, or together, or on our heads... It's great! This particular evening she got herself wedged between the fridge and the step stool!

She had spaghetti the other night. Need I say more? Oh wait, I decided to let her feed herself. Just so you know I was successful at getting all the spaghetti out of her  shirt!

 

We had a few birthday parties last week. Jadyn's cousin Carter turned 2 on November 1st. His birthday party was a hayride...it was 75 degrees that day! Awesome! We also went to Nelson's birthday party November 7th. Nelson is her surrogate big brother :). His party was at Dave's gymnastics. Jadyn had a good time crawling around and playing in the foam pit!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!
Jadyn had two costumes this year and I took pictures of both. She is in a new music class that meets once a week and our first week was the 29th so it was Wear your costume night. She had a good time. We are going with one of my high school friends and her twin daughters. They are a year older than Jadyn. Jadyn wore her other costume on Halloween. She spent the evening at Aunt Kathy's while Greg and I sponsored a bonfire and hayride at my parents for school.

Okay okay, I know the only reason you people check this is for the pictures...so here they are :)

This is her first costume, a cheetah.

 

 

 

Her second costume was a pink poodle.

 

 

I also took her picture with the pumpkins when we brought them home. She is so stinking cute!

Happy Halloween!

Love, the Franz's :)
