Christmas Christmas this year was wonderful! Jake was old enough to really enjoy opening his gifts to find surprises inside the nicely wrapped packages. His favorite gifts were his "Jungle Gym" for the backyard and his Barney, BJ & Baby Bop stuffed animals. Of course, he was overwhelmed by everyone's generousity. One extremely special gift he received was hand made by his aunt "JuJi" (Julie). It is a beautiful photo album that holds pictures from A - Z of everything in Jake's everyday life from family members to his toys. There are pictures under the correct letter for all of the things he knows and loves. He enjoys going through it every night and pointing to each item, telling us what or who it is. What a truly special gift we will treasure always.
Our Family Christmas Card Photo We sent this picture out as our Christmas cards. It was taken in early December. Jake was a little trouper, smiling for every picture! 
Jake meets SANTA...
Santa and Mrs. Claus (Jim and Terry) provide hot chocolate and popcorn as they pose with the neighborhood kids in front of their beautifully decorated house. What a great tradition!
