CHRISTMAS
Christmas was a jumble this year! Filled with great gifts, good food, family and friends, drama (typical huh?) and lots of memories.
Well I tried to get Jake to wear a Santa hat for photos...
But he didn't like it much.
More fun gifts from Grandma and Grandpa, like a little people car garage and clothes..
On Christmas morning, we got up and went to see what Santa had brought. Not thinking, I didn't take any pictures of our Christmas morning with our little family... AND the video camera stopped working. Jake sure did get spoiled though. He got a toy chest/book shelf with some books and a outfit with his stocking filled with treats from Santa. From momma and daddy, he got clothes, a couple toys and other little fun things.
He got a fun wagon and other great presents from Nana and Pop Pop...
More fun gifts from Grandma and Grandpa, like a little people car garage and clothes..
And even more amazing things from Granny and Gramps like the little people farm and sign language videos.
He got a lot of other presents from aunts and uncles, friends and other family members. Boy, is he spoiled! I got some great things too. I got a sewing machine from my hubby, nutcrackers from my Jake and Patch and other great gifts from my family and friends. Jimmy got spoiled with Wii stuff and a g/c for his concealed weapons license along with tons of other stuff! Thanks everyone! We love all our stuff!
NEW YEARS
For New Year's, Jake and I were up at my mom's house. Maddie, Jake and I played some guitar hero! I was on the drums...
Maddie was on guitar...
And lil man was our rock star singer!
Jake also LOVED to play the drums! Every chance he got, he grabbed the sticks and went to town! Here's a video. Soo cute... (Don't mind my creepy voice haha)
It was very relaxing and nice to bring in the new year!
VACATION!
Like I mentioned, Jake and I traveled up to my mom's to celebrate the holidays and to have a little visit. We were able to see Brock, Alicia and Atley. Jake had a great time playing with Atley.
Since there was a ton of snow up there, one day Brock, Maddie, Atley and I decided to go sledding. I didn't get any pictures but it was so fun! We are all bundled up like little snow balls and Brock and Atley even got some pretty good air on one run. Hilarious!
Brock, Alicia and Dan went skiing on day and my mom, Jake and I took a ride up to see them...
And Jake was a snowball! Doesn't he look so cute? He hated it!!!
Back at my mom's, Jake decided to be a dog and crawl and lock himself in Lola's kennel. He did this more than once... so funny!
After my mom's, Jake and I had a chance to visit with both sets of my grandparents! It was so great to see them.
We then headed to my dad's house for a couple nights.
The day before we left, we went to this place called Jumpin' Jacks that has a ton of different bouncy houses with slides and games. Jake wanted to play the games. And we actually won a toy... hippo I think.
He enjoyed running around, but not so much of the bouncy houses
Or the car ride.
Then we headed to the park. He had a much more fun time there. He played all over.
After we went down the slide side by side and he pushed himself off, I thought he'd like to go by himself.
I was wrong and he chickened out. Too big I guess.
So that wrapped up our vacation. A great time and nice to get away sometimes, but I think we are both happy to be back and home with Daddy and Pat-Pat.
BIG BOY!!
And finally, this year has started off pretty good. It was sad we didn't get to start it out with Jimmy, but now that we are back home, I think we are all looking forward to what this new year has in store for us!
And Jake is growing up so fast. Last night, we decided to convert his crib into his "toddler bed".
Daddy had to set it up.
He was so proud! Once he found out he could crawl in and out of his bed, he was so proud! We are proud of him too!
Well I hope everyone had a great holiday and New Year celebration and I hope 2010 is great for everyone! Until next time, have a good one!

Looks like you had fun during the Holidays!! I still can't believe I've never met little Jake! That's nuts and needs to change asap! Also, did you just buy that little toddler bed side piece at like a babies r us or something? I need one for Avery but have been too lazy to really go looking!
ReplyDeletehaha!! I love the first Santa Hat picture. He's thinking about it.. might hate it..might love it...and then BAM!!! Jakey HATES it! lol. Very cute. I always love the posts! :)
