2011 in Review: Part V- Countdown to Christmas

This Christmas Season was so neat!!! We enjoyed decorating the tree (while the kids played in a make-shift "fort"- a little something to keep them busy while the work was underway), doing crafts (Jacob LOVED painting his Christmas ornaments and painting them the "appropriate" colors this year by following the pictures), Emerson met Santa for the 1st time this year, and well, she's not much of a fan. Jacob is still S's #1 fan. We enjoyed our 1st School Christmas Party. Jake LOVED getting dressed and making his way to school WITH his family (including Uncle Jared, Aunt Karen, and Alyssa) in the evening. He was able to "show" us his school, see his friends, "buy" gifts for his family, see Santa, and "win" a yummy dessert. It was lots of fun. Jacob was quite the partier this Season- he also had a classroom Christmas Party where he sang the loudest and enjoyed every minute of their Holiday Snack with his friends.

Tis the Season to be Merry!
