11 months!

Jacob is 11 months!  He is getting so big, he has come a long way from that skinny little baby he was months ago!  He is still such a happy baby!

Christmas 2016

The kids told me that this was the "most awesome Christmas ever!"  I started the morning by making them take pictures :)  I made the matching Christmas PJs and wanted a picture of them together, so they had to sit in front of the tree before they tore into any presents....I think I am the only one who thought that was a good idea!

Then there were lots of things from Santa to open, Jacob had some help opening his, and also helped his siblings with theirs, he really enjoyed all the colorful paper!

The kids also got this big trampoline, which was a hit.

Then Gramma, Papa, and Aunt Jenny came over and there were more presents to open and more pictures in front of the tree.  It was a great day!

  

We saw Santa!

The kids and I went to see Santa Claus tonight!  He was at Aunt Jenny's neighborhood again this year, we always have a great time visiting him there!  Andrew asked for a skateboard and Emily asked for a light up scooter.  Jacob was curious about Santa and did not shed a tear, unlike Andrew's first time meeting Santa, I think it helps when you big brother and sister are around :)

And of course, before they risked getting any cookie on their Christmas outfits, I made them stand still for some photos.  These photos were SO hard to get, Jacob kept crawling off and Andrew suggested I put him in a chair (he is such a smart kid) so we ran home and got a rocking chair, it helped a little :)
