Foulke Christmas

After opening gifts at our house and with Mee-Maw and grump, we headed over to Griff and Barb’s house where we spent the rest of the day. When we finished eating, the kids were put to bed and then the adults opened the Pollyanna presents.

When the kids woke up from their naps, the real fun began.


Rosanna even got to join in on the fun.

Christmas Eve 2011

This year for Christmas Eve, we invited Jesse, Dave and Carol to our house. They arrived around 3:00pm and we ate dinner before going the Christmas Eve service at Calvary Chapel of Quakertown. When we got back from church, we opened up the presents.
We hung out a little bit more, but soon it was time to say goodbye. We had to get some sleep as we were going to have a very busy Christmas Day.

Doing Work

Tonight we decided that we would take the arms off of Chase’s high chair so that he could sit with us while eating and use the table top instead of the tray. Jay grabbed his tools and Chase went into the toy box and pulled out his tools.

They both worked together and in no time, the arms were removed.

Present From Great Grandma Kay

Today a package arrived for Chase from Great Grandma Kay.

Thanks for the AWESOME Drum!

Jesse, Amy and Chase Birthday Celebration

Today we went to Griff and Barb’s house to celebrate Jesse, Amy and Chase’s birthday. After Chinese food, it was time for the presents.Amy then got her present from Jay and Chase. Jay spent over 2 hours working with Chase and another 2 hours to put together an audio file that played in a digital photo frame that displayed family photos. To make the audio file, he first wrote sentences that he wanted Chase to say. He then had Chase stand next to him at the computer while he first said each word and then Chase would repeat. Next, he used an audio program to isolate each word. Once each word was isolated, he put them together to form the sentences for Amy’s present. Here is the final result.

Chase's 2nd Year B-Day Party

Chase will be 2 years old on December 12th. Last year we had a large birthday party, so this year we wanted to have a small party with just his small group friends.

We ordered pizza from La Cantina and it tasted delicious.

It was then time to open up the presents. Chase’s friends did a great job helping him rip them open.

We had ordered a Disney Cars cake for Chase. It is his favorite movie and he is obsessed with playing with his Cars toys all day long.

He did a GREAT job blowing out the candles…

and it tasted yummy too!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, CHASE!

Christmas Carols With Emily And Chase

Tonight we went to Barnes and Noble in Center Valley to see Emily sing with her chorus class.

Earlier at snack this morning, Amy told Chase that we were going to hear Emily sing Christmas carols. He then gave us his own concert while he helped Amy sing “Little Drummer Boy” and “Praise Ye The Lord, Hallelujah!”

Mail Delivery

Jay comes home from work and usually asks if the mail was gotten. If not, Jay carries Chase out to the mailbox. Jay opens the mailbox and gets the mail. Chase closes the mailbox and then Jay gives the mail to Chase. When they come back in the house, Chase consistently will spike the mail all over the floor. Take a look!
