Our Christmas

We Had a wonderful Christmas, and this was our first opening on Christmas morning, otherwise we are at pam and daves in the am. Jacob got his first memorable gift from "santa" but the part he might remember most is having to stay in mommy and daddy's room untill daddy was done doing whatever he was doing. :)

Even Jessica chimed in and enjoyed her gift!

Jacob got a kick out of digging for gifts in his stocking.

all in all it was one for the books... scrapbooks that is!

The newest "Ham"

Jessica was being so darn cute yesterday I just had to take some pictures of her. I can't believe how big she is getting. She had an appointment on Thursday and she was 14# 24". She is just so darn cute I want to munch her up! :)

Christmas Party

We had a wonderful party here on saturday. Despite the weather we had a pretty good turn out. We were ready if anyone had to stay the night, but everyone made it home safely.

It was nice to see everyone again and we all had fun catching up on the last years happenings.

We even had some fun watching (stupid) stuff on the internet.

I had way too many leftovers, so guess what we had for lunch the next day... and dinner.

Winter Wonderland

I woke to this this morning. I love where I live. I love winter. Winter transforms the world into something pure and innocent.

I know that sounds corney. I am a Robert Frost fan. I thought this just looked like it walked out of a Robet Frost poem.

Trimming the Tree

Well, here it is, Jacob putting the last ornament on the tree. He had a blast, though I was glad for the first year I can remember to be done trimming the tree. This child has so much energy I'm surprised we only broke two balls.

As you can see it is a smaller tree than we normally get, but I am somewhat glad there wasn't more to decorate. The house smells of pine and looks like a toy bomb exploded. It will take me all weekend to clean up. I also have to start getting ready for my Christmas party next weekend. YEA!!! I will blog those pictures too.

TTFN!

Tree Shoppimg

We all went tree shopping yesterday to get our trees. Jen and Ryan had gotten one the previous day, but came anyway so as not to miss out on all of the fun.

Ethan enjoyed warm cider with us. He looks so cute all bundled up!

Here is our tree! Jessica is not pictured because it was too cold to take her out of her carrier.

Jacob got a ride with it on the tarp while Daddy drug it to the shed to get shaken and trimmed.

Even Jessica Stayed nice and warm. She only got fussy when she got hungry, but by then we were headed home. She was very interested to see everything that was going on, so her little nose got a little pink. :)

Next blog... Trimming the tree!

The Great Ones

We had a fun Saturday, after babysitting for Nana, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's and Jessica met Great Grandma and Great Grandpa for the first time. She was a bit scared at first, but she got used to them quickly.

Jen, Ryan and Ethan came over and Jacob had a blast with Ethan. We foresee them getting each other into more and more trouble as they get older.
