Di and Jake

Decorating the Christmas Tree!

Jake has REALLY gotten into the Christmas Spirit early this year! He got these Christmas PJs from Di and Pops, and he wanted to wear them the first night he got them! Here we are decorating the Christmas Tree...

He had so much fun decorating!

*************Pics in front of the tree...************

I actually got him to agree to sit in the rocking chair in front of the tree and smile! Must be because he knows "Eddie" the Elf on the Shelf is watching!!!!

He had to turn around again to take a look at the tree! He was so in awe!

My Sweet Boy!

*******Jacob meets his new neighbor, Ava *******

Today, Jake and I went to lunch with our neighbors, LauraLee and Ava. We went to their house before we went to eat, and Jake got his first look at Ava...up close. At first, he had to squat down and look at her.....

She is not a fan of her carrier, so she gets pretty mad when mommy puts her in it...Jake figured he would try to rock her in the carrier to stop her crying....

I guess he figured it didnt work rocking her from the foot, so he tried from the head of the carrier....not too successful in that attempt either, though!

************Trick -or -Treating*********

Here is my little lion....He really was so good about wearing his costume!
We had Jake and Micah in the wagon and took them door to door to trick or treat...they had so much fun!

Here is Micah

And the little lion again!

*****************The Pumpkin Patch*******************

Jake and Di in the car on the way to the Pumpkin Patch
He had no problems diving right in and picking out the pumpkins he wanted to take home!

He found the one that was just his size!

****************The Family******************

AAAHHHHH Yes, the joys of trying to get a family picture....... Attempt #1 - Mommy and Jake
Attempt #2 - Daddy, Mommy, Jake.....Not so much luck here with the two boys!

Attempt#3 - Daddy, Mommy, Jake...Well, maybe tickling him will get him to smile!

Attempt #4 - Well, at least Mommy and Daddy are looking at the camera and smiling!
