rockin' grammy
After Thanksgiving my brother-in-law brought
ROCKBAND over to my parents house.
He had bought it for super cheap at a Black Friday sale.
We all loved it.
We were hooked.
Especially my mom.
My brother-in-law was kind enough
to leave it at my parents' house for us all to enjoy.
Little did we know,
my mom played even when we weren't there.
She was even caught practicing the drums
into the wee hours of the night.
So, when Christmas rolled around,
my dad decided she might need her own ROCKBAND...
She was SO excited when she opened it.
Who ever thought that a grammy would want ROCKBAND for Christmas??
We even found a ROCKBAND t-shirt for her.
My niece got a ROCKBAND t-shirt too.
We spent a lot of Christmas day rockin' down the house.
It was fun.
Lots of good memories and good laughs.
There is nothing like a rockin' Grammy!
Oh, and someone was wondering about these bats.
They are called Mashoonga! Sabers.
My mom got them at Sam's Club.
They are supposed to be for safe, competitive, contact play.
I am not sure if there is anything safe about this picture.
Maybe they are not meant for grown men!!
At least we know how to have fun, right?

THAT is unreal.
it makes me totally want to get rockband.
i LOVE that!
these pictures are so great...everyone is so serious :)
i have been following your blog for a long time...don't know if i have posted before today.
i am still stalking your etsy store, too...
can't wait to see your baby!
blessings from CA!
What a great picture of you - nine months pregnant, barefoot, and playing the drums with a VERY serious expression on your face! Love it. (And so impressed with that rockin' grammy!)
I'll be sure NOT to tell any of the men in my household about those bats - they would LOVE them, but I'd probably have a heart attack if they did that in my living room!!
Love, love, love your Mom.
This post cracks me up.
so good to see laughter. and a sweet little baby bump!!
rockstarbaby!!
Those pictures are so fun!
We LOVE rock band at our house! Sometimes I concentrate so hard on the screen that my contacts pop out!! Guess that's what distinguishes me from a real musician.
You made me laugh out loud with this post! I think I am about the same age as your Mom, so maybe I should take up drumming or something for my new hobby.
You look beautiful and I hope you are feeling well. Glad for some happy times for you.
That is too funny! She makes that look good! :)
Can't wait to see pics of that baby! Rest up.
Nothing like a really pregnant drummer! I love that pic!
HAHA!!! Love it :) Rock on Grammy.
So cute! My parents got totally the Wii when it came out a few years ago.
I just wanted to let you know that I think you make one stinkin' cute pregnant lady!
oh Jess, this is fantastic! Now these are memories that will last forever! What fun Christmas must have been for you and the fam.
You and JOel look so wonderful in the pics! I can't wait to see pics of babymac on the outside!
PS: those bats will be at our next Christmas! Thanks for he action shots....LOVED it!
So much fun!!! That is what Christmas is all about...fun and family!
I have read your blog for a bit(don't know if I have ever posted)...I send lots of prayers with baby on the way.
Now Adam knows who to call if he wants a Sunday off. You've got a whole worship team right there!
I want to come play! What a FUN family! The bats...could have used those in the office today. Rock band, never played but I need too...sounds and looks like so much fun!!!
Go Mom!!!!
All the guys in my family are the same way. They love to get silly stuff. One year they all got that farting foam (or whatever it is) & they had so much fun with it. I also got them all a silver or gold "grill" to wear in their mouths from Wal-Mart & that was a great picture ;) Praying for you & your pregnancy.
Bon
again... best family ever :)
How fun!
How fun! You look ADORABLE!!
Hi! Not sure I've commented before, but love your blog!
Had to chime in and say- LOOK OUT!- my friend went into labor right after a crazy night of rock band drumming! ;)
That is awesome! LoL!! Whoever said Grammy's can't be cool? Glad to see everyone have family fun together. :)
your family is SO much fun! wow!
The family that rocks together, stays together(???). :D My bil brought Guitar Hero to the C'mas gathering last year, and it's become a standard activity w/n our own family during our gathering too!
I had a good laugh, Jess, at your intent look on the drums! My face is identical on the guitar during our 'showdowns'. :)
Your mom looks *great* in her shirt; and it's so nice to read of a family having fun together like this!
Wow...looks like you all had a great time!! We just got Band Hero & like your mom...I get really into the game. It's so much fun & a great thing for family fun night!!
My brother alway jokes that we look constipated b/c we concentrate so hard not to miss a note!!! lol!!
Can't wait to "meet" your new baby!!
Oh my goodness that is hilarious that your mom loves Rockband so much.
Looks like everyone had a blast!
Rockband is very fun! Our kids got it for Christmas. Highly recommended if you have 3 or more kids because they can all play together YAY! The lyrics on the songs tho...not so much for kids. Something very disconcerting about a 9 year old singing about being drunk! We ended up buying the Lego song pack and the Country track pack for the more appropriate lyrics!
That is hilarious!!! :) Glad you all made some great "rockin'" memories!!!
Okay, we totally need the Mashoonga Sabers here!! I have four boys that are always playing swords. My Dad got them some foam swords from Pottery Barn kids but they lasted only a day before they broke! Clearly they are not made for real live children! LOL
What a fun Christmas this looks like! I think I love your family! :^D
What a fun family. Makes me want to rock out and I'm a granny to 7.
Your mom must be a lot of fun!
Hilarious pic with those "sabers"...I'm sure your mom knew exactly what was going to happen after all.
