More Baby Jake Pics

Baby Jake and I had our own little photo shoot this week, here are some highlights:

Let is Snow!!

We've had a lot of snow the last few weeks so Kevin and Avery took the opportunity to make our very own Frosty the Snowman. I finally found a use for those beets from the crop share!

A few of my favorite things!

Here are some highlights from Avery's Christmas extravganza! Of course we had way to many presents for a two year old so there are still a few under the tree. Below are a few highlights, we had so many fun new toys and books, too many to keep track. All in all it was a spectacular holiday. This was our first Christmas in our own home and it was just a blast with the two little guys. At one point Kevin was even outside Avery's window making Santa Claus noises and prancing around the upstairs pretending to be a reindeer on the roof!

Two nutcrackers including the new green (my favorite) one.

Avery's new trampoline doubling as a platform for eating, resting and playing with all new toys.

A new dump truck and digger from Nannie and Pop Pop

Conductor's hat and train whistle from Aunt Teresa and Uncle Pepper

and finally, never under estimate the power of a large bag or a box full of packing peanuts for a 2 year old!

Special Visitors

We were fortunate to have my mom with us the last two weeks including over Christmas. My sister Susie and nephew Patrick also came for a visit just before Christmas. Here are a few pics from the visit.

Aunt Susan and Baby Jake

Papa Patrick's Pizzeria and Fat Man (Avery's version of Batman).
Let's just say there was a lot of jumping on the couch and running around the house.

Jake Justice - by popular demand

Here are a few pictures of baby Jake that Aunt Susan took during her visit this weekend. Oh - by the way Baby Jake has a new nick name - Jake Justice after his cousin Patrick's rescue hero.
