A Jammy Christmas with Josh's Family

We left my parents' house late Saturday night and drove back to our house. We had to be home the next day because we were having Jammy Christmas with Josh's family. Jordan, Jessie, and I came up with the idea for Jammy Christmas because we wanted something different and fun to do. We were tired of the normal routine of get together, eat a big meal that no one needs, and then open lots of presents. I suggested having breakfast for supper and then one thing led to another and we came up with Jammy Christmas! We were all going to dress in our pajamas, eat breakfast for supper, play games, and open gifts. It was going to be lots of fun!


The kids had a great time playing together and the adults had fun visiting. Some of the adults (Jessie, Will, Sue, Reve, Brian) didn't follow Jammy Christmas rules and came in normal clothes, but the rest of us followed the rules and rocked our jammies. Poor Eli started running fever out of the blue before everyone got there so I gave him Tylenol and quarantined him to our bedroom for most of the night. I hated that he had to miss out on the fun, but I didn't want to get anyone else sick. He came out later that night for a couple of pictures and ended up being fine the next day.

We ate our yummy breakfast foods and then Jessie and Will taught us how to play a fun game called Five Words or something like that. It was quite fun and seeing how some of our people described certain places was hilarious. For example, to describe the Grand Canyon, Josh's mom said "Hoooolllee!" and made a big, sweeping motion with her hand. LOL! I don't know if Josh ended up getting the clue but Sue's description was the joke of the night.

Grant's Super 4th Birthday

At the beginning of May our family went to Grant's superhero 4th birthday party. It's hard to believe that this sweet little boy is already 4 years old! Time is flying by way too quickly!

Eli was very excited because he got to dress up as Batman again. He always loves getting to dress like his favorite superhero! He was even more excited when we got to their house and saw that there was a bounce house! He went straight to it after we drove up without even changing into his costume.


While Eli was jumping, I started taking pictures of all of the decorations. Jessie did a great job once again with the party planning. Everything looked great!






Jessie's Papaw is just the cutest! 

Pretty soon Eli was ready to change into his Batman costume. It only seemed fitting for him to take a picture with the giant Batman balloon :)

Addison was Wonder Woman!

GraceAnn looked cute in her super outfit :)

Jessie had one activity station where she had frozen superheroes in blocks of ice. The kids were supposed to get a water gun and "save the superhero" by squirting the ice until it melted. The kids decided they'd make their own fun by squirting other people though ;)



As you can see, Grant wasn't too keen on being a soaked superhero. 

This adorable face was the little culprit :) Sweet little Scott

Brett Daniel loved climbing in the bounce house :)

Reve and Brian
(Quick back story: Brian is Josh's cousin. Reve is Josh's loan assistant. They were both single. Josh played matchmaker. Now they're a cute little couple!)

Jessie proved that she was still a kid at heart...

Haha!!


After jumping in the bounce house, snacking on party food, and having a water gun fight, it was time for cake! Grant posed with his superhero cake before we sang Happy Birthday to him. 



Such a sweet little family :)

Grant asked for a new puppy for his birthday and he got it. Meet Erik, Grant's new chocolate lab. He spent the party snoozing away. Sweetest little puppy ever :)


After the birthday cake, Jessie had another superhero activity for the kids. She gathered them in the house and told them the plan. They were the superheroes. Mr. Will (Grant's dad) was the villain. They had to use silly string to capture the villain. The kids were all in!




Haha! Look at Eli's face!

Grant LOVED seeing his Daddy covered in silly string!

What a great sport!



After successfully capturing the villain with the silly string, the last activity was the Batmobile piƱata.  


A few kids took swings at it and nothing happened. Then it was Scott's turn and he made it rain...candy that is! 



It was a great superhero birthday party! Happy Birthday Grant! Hope to see you again soon!
