the most wonderful time of the year

who doesn't love christmas time?  i think it's the absolute best time of the year!!  jake certainly loved decorating his gingerbread train from his grandma robin.  he had a hard time understanding that we used the candy for decorations, not to eat.


jake got his own christmas tree to decorate in his new bedroom.  he picked out his own ornaments too.  (superheros, snowmen, buzz lightyear, transformers, santas, sesame street characters, etc).  he even closed his door and wanted to do it all by himself.  *tear*


jake is the official "present passer-outer"


allie looked adorable in her new outfit from her grandma robin


allie loves her great pa crain


the last time we had a family picture like this was when i was pregnant with jake ....2009.  this is the first time since then that we were all at a family christmas.  you see, my cousin brian is a musician and he travels and can't always make it.  so this christmas was special to have everyone there.


our first christmas in our new house.


jake was super excited about his transformers!!!


allie was just excited about all the paper to play with


christmas late morning with my parents and brother john


thomas the train!!!!!!!  jake still LOVES trains!!


christmas afternoon with josh's parents


christmas evening with jim and brittany - poor jim....jake always attacks jim.  that's because jake adores jim.  jim is just a big kid himself and will make a wonderful daddy when the time comes!!!

we had a wonderful christmas with our friends and family and hope you did too!  the best present that josh and i received was of course, our NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!  (pictures to come once we get it decorated a little bit)
