Jumpin Jax

We arrived in Lansing, Michigan last night and are spending the next few days with the Nickels (Curt's sister Betsy & family). The rest of Curt's family are joining us tonight, so that we can celebrate a few birthdays. Today we took the kids to a place called Jumpin Jax. It has lots of inflatables for the kids to play on. Curt was able to take the day off work, so he came with us for the fun. Ben was pretty nervous at first, but after a while he played on the inflatables without Curt or me helping him. His cousins Jacob, Jenna, and Peyton were so helpful and encouraging to him.

Here's a view of some of the inflatables.

Me, Ben, and Jenna getting ready to go down the slide.

Getting off the slide at the bottom. Ben was really nervous climbing the steps, but as soon as we went down the slide, he wanted to go down it again.

Curt and Ben trying out a different slide.

Crawling through one of the small openings...this part made him really scared at first. After a while, he was able to crawl right inside by himself.

Jenna helping Ben climb some steps.

Jacob playing basketball.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
