We have had so much fun this Christmas season...where do I start...hmmm. How about parties...I got the chance to go to our church's Christmas Cantata, a women's Christmas luncheon, a Christmas party for hubby's work, Julia's Christmas party at school, Jacob's Christmas party at school, the kids' Christmas musical at church and I still have 2 family parties, and Christmas Eve service where I get to ring handbells. Not to mention Christmas shopping, wrapping presents, baking cookies and gingerbread, decorating the house, and enjoying the season...whew!
Here's a quick Jenna update...she learned to walk and now almost runs. She is still "Grabby Abby" but has learned when mom and dad say "no" she stops grabbing...sometimes. Jenna can say a few words now. Her most recent is "up" (that sounds like "pup") when she wants to sit in our lap. She is a very happy baby. Life is very full with our third child!
Jacob and Julia are wonderful big brother and sister to Jenna. They still enjoy spending hours out in our backyard pretending all sorts of things and swinging their hearts out. Jacob is a bundle of energy and he hasn't learned how to control all of it...he has also begun to tell silly jokes...mostly they end with someone or something in the potty...he's six, what do you expect? Julia is a little mother to Jenna AND Jacob and has a lot of fun in gymnastics too. She was invited to join the gymnastics team at the YMCA, we declined this year. We just want her to have fun for a little longer before things get too serious. Julia and Jacob are soooooo excited about Christmas this year. Julia has finally grasped the idea of Santa through Jacob's leading. Christmas day should be exciting!
I will attach a few pictures soon of the kids, for now, here's one of "mom and dad" at a work party at the speedway. It was nice to have a break for a few hours and feel like a grown up!
Merry Christmas!
