We had a very quiet and relaxing Christmas. Had our little family dinner on Christmas eve - prime rib, sweet potatoes and green beans - all turned out very edible - surprisingly! We opened the family gifts on Christmas eve - well most of them, saved a few for the morning - as Jakob got sooooooo many! Mark and Jakob played some video games - Tiger Woods Golf - lovely! We took a lot of naps and watched the Polar Express. Jakob and I made sugar cookies a few nights before Christmas - he decorated with quite a lot of sprinkles - Santa really liked them. We left the cookies, and Jakob's pretend chocolate cupcakes, and carrots for the reindeer out. On Christmas morning Jakob actually slept in, but was a bit low blood sugar in the am, so needless to say he wasn't that into his presents - after we got some food into him he was good to go. Jakob said that he "heard jingle bells last night", he was right Santa went into his bedroom and rang some bells and even left a jingle bell next to his stocking! We actually got snow on Christmas, it stayed around for a couple hours, we didn't go out in it - "too cold" per Jakob! Instead we watched Toy Story and the Jungle Book and stayed in our pj's until 4pm. We had Amber and Josh over for blueberry pie that evening. All in all a very quiet Christmas - and no new baby to speak of!

Our first white Christmas!
This picture was taken on Friday, it's of another one of Jakob's favorite gifts - a 200 piece wood building set that his Aunt Christina gave him - Mark really likes it too! Mark built the Eiffel Tower - which Jakob then destroyed! Jakob is really into building farms, barns or some type of enclosure for his animals with this set.
