James' First Movie

Yesterday, we took James to see his first movie in the theater. We went early in the day before lunch & nap time, and there were maybe only 10 other people there! It was awesome! And because we had 2 movie passes from a past Christmas we hadn't used yet, it was only $5.50 for the three of us!

The Princess & the Frog was so cute! Because it is based in New Orleans, it was really cool for JJ. Luckily James is young enough though that the 'scary' parts did not bother him. He doesn't really get scared by monsters yet, so the voodoo shadow monsters didn't bother him at all. I could see how it might scare children that are a little older though. But, then again, all Disney movies have some death, dark, or scary parts to them, so maybe not. Regardless though, a very cute movie. And James keeps saying he wants to go back to 'Watch More Moomies'. We will definitely have to make it a regular outing!

Your Christmas Card from the Jarzabeks!

Well... here it is! Sorry, but with our lives being somewhat busy the past couple of months, Christmas cards did not make the cut for important things to get accomplished. Because, you know me, I have to make them myself, and there just wasn't time for it. So, here it is! Merry Christmas from our family to yours! You can pretend you got it in the mail!!!

I Finally Caved....

Yep...I did it. I am finally on Facebook. I fought it for a long time because I have so much other stuff that I keep up with. I now have 3 blogs (1 personal & 2 business), a website, and now Facebook. I also fiddled around with Twitter for a while for my business, but I didn't like it. This blog will still be my primary place that I post our family pics, but I wanted to have access to everyone else's pics that don't blog but do post on Facebook.

Visit from Santa Clause

James & Randi had a visit from Santa Clause today!! Does he look familiar to you? James couldn't tell who it was, but he was excited and started showing off for him right away! He told him that he wanted cars & trucks. I think he was just so excited that he couldn't think of what he actually wanted. (this was the best pic I got, the one with James smiling had Randi's arm in front of her face). When he left he asked, 'Where Santa go?'. I told him he had to go back to work so that he could make all of his toys for Christmas. Shortly after Daddy came home and he got to tell him all about his visit from Santa.

He had the suit from a banquet he worked last night at Jasper's. It was one of JJ's regulars (who is in the oil business) having his company Christmas party. He asked JJ to be Santa, and told him if he would do it, he could keep it overnight so that he could take it home & be Santa for the kids. So, he worked his entire shift (taking orders, running food, serving food, all that jazz) as Santa Clause. He said it was the hottest he has ever been at work. But, the guy not only had Cavender's boot boxes & Tiffany's champagne glasses for ALL 98 guests that attended, along with a few t.v's thrown in there, he also gave JJ a $500 Dewalt power tool set for Christmas! What an awesome way to say thanks!
