Christmas 2008

We had a quiet Christmas celebrating the day with just our family. Jonathan and Jacob took their time opening gifts, jumping up and down with joy, and thanking everyone for the great gifts. The most challenging gift was from Uncle Ted and Aunt Darlene. They sent gift cards within a pinball puzzle. Getting those little medal balls in the small hole was tough, but the guys persevered until they claimed their prizes!

It's Christmas Day!!!

Kia shows off her gift from Grammy - a Carolina sweater! She looks extra cute in her new attire. The sweater was needed as it snowed the day after Christmas and it was cold all week.

Jacob's 11th Birthday

Jacob's 11th birthday was a day of laughs! He started the day with the only present he asked for - a Nerf Vulcan! As you can tell by his face, he was pretty happy!

Jacob's 11th party included 11 invited guests and started at 11am. The Nerf party included several brutal rounds of dodge ball, target games, and an all-out Nerf battle. With everyone having a Nerf gun, bullets were flying everywhere! David and Angel were glad for the pizza break! You can see some of the arsenal of weapons in the foreground of the picture.

Jacob's cake featured two Nerf bullets highlighting his 11th birthday.

Fun with his friends!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS!
