Had OURself a Merry, Little Christmas.....

We had such a wonderful Christmas! We were very busy trying to fit time in with each family, but we did it and wouldn't change it for the world!

Macy and Jake must have been very good this year, cause Santa brought them wonderful presents.

Here are a few photos from our Christmas festivities.

 We set out the Milk and Cookies for Santa, along with a note and $1.00 from Macy.

Here is the not (above)

Christmas morning after the cookies were gone.

This is the gingerbread train that I made....all by myself without any help from the kids.

Family VacATiOn to the Cabin.....

Better late than never! The first weekend of my 2 week vacation we spent with Jesse's family at our family cabin in North Carolina. We weren't as fortunate as we were last year and get to see snow, but we still had such an amazing time! We went ice-skating, which was so much fun! Macy loved it!! It was only her 2nd time, but she was able to ice skate like a pro (well, for a 6 year old!) As long as we are spending quality time with the family, I am fine with hanging out at the cabin and never leaving.

Jesse wasn't very fond of the cold weather. He didn't attempt to ice skate either!

This isn't a very good picture, but this is part of our family.

Since Jake could stand up, I have taken a photo of him standing next to this bear each trip, to show how he's grown. 

Beginning our HoLiDay Festivities....

This past week we started some of our holiday festivities. Macy and Jake made gingerbread houses and Santa cookies...

Let's just say that Jake's cookies didn't end up with very much candy on them, cause Jake was eating much more than he was willing to put on the cookies. After that, I went home and  I spent about an hour "attempting" to take photos of both kids together in front of our Christmas tree, for our family Christmas card, but all I was able to get accomplished was two separate photos.....

Which, of course they both look super cute! I'll just have to settle for two photos rather than one. Why should I have thought that they would cooperate and both look at the camera at the same time anyway! Geez!

One more thing, our dog, Stitch FINALLY went to the groomers and now looks like a schnauzer again!

He's so cute! I love him so much!! (Although nobody else seems to, cause he barks 24/7!)

Happy Holidays 

from our family to yours!

I'm LoViNg this time of year!

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. I LOVE everything about the holidays. We start preparing for Christmas beginning Thanksgiving night by going out shopping on Black Friday. Followed by going to pick out our tree, decorating it and putting lights on the house. 

This is our Tree this year. Decorating the tree is my favorite part of the holidays.

This weekend we have a fun-filled weekend planned. Jesse and I are going to the Melting Pot with my boss and co-workers with all of our spouses for our Christmas dinner, which I am so excited about. Saturday I plan on spending the day with the kids and putting together our gingerbread houses that Macy and I bought yesterday at our trip to Toys R Us, after we went and saw Santa Clause! This year I bought two kits, a train gingerbread kit for Jake, and a traditional house for Macy.
I'm looking forward to putting on Christmas music and spending time with the kids. I might decide to do a little baking too! After making some handmade luminaries for Halloween this year, I think Macy and I might make some of these.....

 on Saturday too! I think they are so pretty and they are so fun to make! I enjoy being able to do crafts with Macy. It's amazing to see how creative a 6 year old little girl can be! 

RCA Rockets.....Ready....Set....BLAST OFF!

See my cute little ROCKET....Yesterday was Macy's cheerleading Blast Off Party. This is her first year being a cheerleader at RiverCity All-Stars. She LOVES it. Sometimes she complains about having to practice so much and so hard, but she knows that it will pay off in the end at competition!

This was her first time ever practicing her routine in front of a large crowd. She did SO good!! It brings back memories from when I was an allstar cheerleader myself.

Her 1st competition will be in January 2011. We can't wait!!



I think it's time......

I thought I would take a minute to do a little blogging today. I have been so busy that I haven't had the time to blog. Since Halloween, not much has happened in the Rohn household. All of us have caught a cold that's been going around....ugh...I've just been busy with my everyday responsibilities (work, being a Mommy and wife, keeping up with all of the new Thomas the Train episodes on OnDemand for Jake, keeping up with the homework and cheerleading for Macy, going to Publix and Wal-mart atleast several times a week) and now we just found out yesterday that there is a high possibility that we will be moving into our first house soon! YAY!!! Sorry no pics today.....more to come soon!

HaLLoWeEn 2010......

We had a Wonderful Halloween this year! We went Trick-or-Treating, which the kids got entirely too much candy! Jake was my little Rockstar,

which Jesse had to make him his own little guitar out of a cardboard box. Everyone thought he was the cutest little rocker!! Macy was our little Halloween Fairy.

  She was so pretty!! She picked out her own costume this year. 

Fall is has always been my favorite time of year. I love spending time with my family in the Mountains in October and going to see the beautiful Fall colors of North Carolina. This year Jesse or my dad didn't go, it was a "girls trip," well and kids too!

Here is a few pictures from our Annual Fall Mountain Trip from the week before Halloween......

 This was Jake at the Corn Maze sitting with the Pumpkins.

And here is a photo of my BEAUTIFUL Macy and the pumpkins.
