Christmas time!!

Jacob and Anna were very good this year. Santa brought a lot and they played with their new toys ALL day long! Anna carried her Vera Bradley purse all day. She put lipstick and nailpolish on Mommy, Daddy, Jacob, Lacy, dolls, action figures, etc. She has turned into quite a girly girl. They both styled Anna and Mommy's hair for hours, so so funny(hair spray, straightener, hair dryer, curling iron), loved it! Jacob loved everything he got. Before bed he said mom, I really love my scooter, and camera, and Joker, and dragon, and socks, and flashlight, and named every single thing he got. Jacob really got into Christmas this year and was so excited. We miss family on Christmas but it sure is nice to stay home in our PJs and watch the kids play all day. We have somehow started a tradition of sick kids on Christmas, we're hoping to change that next year. Other then being sick I would say we had the perfect Christmas!

Christmas Eve. Once again, Jacob so serious and unphased by Anna's craziness :)



Christmas morning!
This is them first seeing their stuff.

Making cookies for Santa

Jacob had a great time making cookies for Santa this year. Anna, not so much.

Jacob's School Christmas Program

Songs from Jacob's Christmas Program. He's front and center. In some of these songs his voice really carries, so funny

On the way there he told me that him and his friend Griffen sing the loudest. I said you really like Griffen don't you. He said Yes mom, he's my best friend......and you mommy :)

He was being honest, his teacher told me that they were counting on Jacob and Griffen to sing for the 3 year old group. They delivered!

There are some songs with just the 3 year olds and some with the 3 and 4 year olds. It was all so cute. Jacob did a GREAT job!













It's hard to decide. Look cool with my hands in my pockets or do the motions to the song?!?!?!! Maybe a little bit of both!

Church Choir Christmas performance

Jacob's first choir performance at church. A couple videos of him practicing (first one) and performaning in front of a full church. He of course is in the red and navy striped vest. He did great!!




After changing into his shepard costume. I think this was a bit much for him, it's hard to perform when you are having a wardrobe malfunction. In this video you can see the angel behind him reaching for his hat. Right after I stopped videoing she flipped his hat over his head. Hilarious (June is one of his best buddies)!!!!
I caught it all with the real video camera, no worries

Hugs

When Jacob and Anna give hugs (to eachother or someone else) a lot of times they will pat them on the back which I think is so sweet. Anna got a little carried away :)
On a side note, Jacob has been wearing socks on his hands lately. All day, whenever he is home. He thinks it's the coolest thing that socks on your hands are like gloves.

Jacob singing Jingle Bells

Jacob sings a song in church about Baby Jesus, his mothers name is Mary, his Daddy's name is Joseph, etc.. He was playing with the nativitey scene and bringing out animals. I caught him singing.....The donkey's name is Joseph



And the cat's name is Mary. He did this for everyone of these animals. Some were even named Bethlehem. Sweet boy

Jacob's Thanksgiving performance at school. He is the pilgrim in the middle

Jacob "reading" nursery rhymes

Jacob didn't realize I was videoing. He thought I was taking pictures so he was striking a pose!!



Anna Tap dancing. One tap shoe (given to me from an antique doll at our church auction), one sneaker and a onsie. Love it! I know, it's sideways. Sorry
