Big Man

Jacob is getting so big and more smiley everyday! He is getting stronger and pushing up on his belly really well too!
We got a new Bumbo seat- we had to get a BLUE one since Caroline's old one was PINK! He seems to like it, and Caroline thinks it is so funny to see him sitting up in a little chair!

Christmas Tree Festival

We went to a Christmas Tree celebration and contest in a town near us last weekend, and Caroline loved looking at (and touching!) all of the Christmas trees people had decorated.
Santa was there, and she and Jacob both got to see him. She loved talking to him and sitting on his lap this year; Jacob was ok with it too!

Christmas Tree

Caroline loved helping decorate the Christmas tree! Thankfully we have a lot of soft ornaments we can put on the botton as she loves to take them off, carry them around, and put them back on the tree daily!

Putting an ornament in the perfect spot.
Frustration for not being able to get the ornament on the tree!!!
I LOVE my Christmas tree!

Chanukah Party

Caroline's school had a Chanukah party where the kids got to help make latkes and eat them for a snack. The rabbi came to sing songs with the kids, and it was a fun time with all the kids and parents.

Eating latkes and applesauce. Yum!Listening to the rabbi
Spinning like a dreidel!

Happy Chanukah!

A belated Happy Chanukah! We enjoyed celebrating each night of Chanukah, and Caroline loved lighting the menorah every night.

Picking out the perfect candles.
A great Friday night celebration with latkes and all!

All 8 lights burning bright!

More Thanksgiving

We have a tradition of having Rick and Lynn and family to our house the night after Thanksgiving. It is a great time to get to be together and of course to have more food!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with Caroline and Jacob's grandparents here for several days and a great Thanksgiving dinner at Uncle Rick and Aunt Lynn's house. We are definitely blessed to be surrounded by wonderful family and to have our Jacob here this year to complete our family!
