December Pics 1 of 2

Here are some pics from December. These are almost all from Jazzy's birthday. My parents came to Nashville to celebrate Jazzy turning 1 and so there are some pics from their visit as well. This is truly 1 of 2 posts as the second post will be posted tonight as well. Enjoy. Note: Captions are at the top of each photo.

One shot of the snow... more to see in my next post.

Too hilarious not to post... This is another baby's b-day party where Jazzy tries to kiss and snuggle the little baby. He doesn't look little but he's 8 months.

I loved making Jazzy's birthday cake starring Snow White. So much fun.

Funny pic of Jazzy but so cute of daddy and Jazzy

This is Papa Mike and Mia. We took a stroll through the

Opryland Hotel for the Christmas scenery.

Jrew just wanted to hug this huge teddy bear.

Unfortunately, we didn't have room to bring him home with us.

Jrew and his photogenic hair while looking at Christmas trees.

However, Home Depot ended up being our Christmas tree supplier this year.

VIDEOS!!!

Here are some cute videos. Enjoy! I'll add a few more tomorrow.

Part 2: Chattanooga CHildren's Museum

A few weeks ago, we decided to take a trip to Chattanooga. It was my Fall Break and it's only a 2 hour drive. We ended up going to the Children's Museum and loved every minute/hour of it. We stayed there for over 3 hours!! It's really not a museum and thus it's not actually named a museum but a Children's discovery center. Imagine a place where you can touch anything and everything you see. You can play in water, make a mess, paint on your own face, run like a wild chicken, and bang on an instrument without getting yelled at.

So, here goes. The pictures are out of order because blogspot automatically reverses the order... grrr. I'll try to narrate your virtual trip. :)

This is an arch made of big soft blocks. It was collapsed when we found it

and Thomas (with his long arms) put it back together.

This was on the roof. This is a swing based on a pulley system.

Thomas was holding Jrew up. :)

Playing in bubbles on the roof.

Getting crafty with daddy.

They had a room setup like a stage with a sound board and everything.

Jrew is running sound...

For Jazzy's dramatic performance in red.

Makin music with Jazzy and Jrew

A harp sized just for Jrew!

This awesome set up had 8-10 instrument Look-alikes with buttons on each of them. If you could hold down the buttons, they would each play a different part of the song. For example, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star was a favorite. Soooo much fun! Jrew is standing outside of the stroller, but it looks like I made him stay in it. BUT I didn't.

Playing the pipes.. with the soles of flip flops.
