Uncle Jason and Heidi Louise
Jacob and cousin Heidi

Jenson was not interested in being anywhere close to the baby.

Christmas Morning

Love this picture. It really captures their Christmas excitement this year.
Merry Christmas celebration hug with the proclamation,
"We were both on the Nice List! Good Job!"

Jacob asked for Dr. Who (Tom Baker) from Santa

Jenson desired Zip Zoom Log Adventure for 4 months. This track is based on his favorite Thomas the Train movie, "Rescue from Misty Island".

Every time we went to a store or talked to anyone about Christmas wishes, this was the only thing he wanted.

He has not played with it since this picture was taken on Christmas morning. It is still set up in the front room to entice him. (sigh)

The Elves and the Shoemaker

Jacob's class presented "The Elves and the Shoemaker" during their winter break party. Jacob played the role of the first elf and a member of the choir...
"Late at night, while they slept, through the doors four elves crept. They worked and sang too, as they finished the shoes. La la la, la la le, la la le, la la lu We will help the poor shoemaker and his wife too!"

Barbara Beihl whispered lines to the actors throughout the play. Due to hours of rehearsals at home, Jacob never needed prompting. He did amazing! So proud of our little thespian.

Snowflake Lane

Jason and a super sick Jennifer (pneumonia) at Snowflake Lane at the Bellevue Mall.
Jacob, Jenson and Sofia with their souvenirs.

Iceskating

Jacob, Jennifer, Cousin Sofia and Aunt Meghan hit the ice rink during winter break. Apparently, ice skating is like riding a bike; I was impressed with the mad skills of the moms!

Jenson's Christmas Program

"Are you sleeping? No more Peeking! Or I'll tell, or I'll tell. Santa Clause is coming, Santa Clause is coming, Hear his bells, hear his bells"

Jenson refused to sing until he got the bells. So, he only sang the last chorus.

Little Gym

We had the pleasure of attended a superhero birthday party for our friend Logan at the Little Gym in Alderwood.

Jacob wowed us with his uneven bars...

and posed before daring the balance beam

Jenson found delight in rolling around in the giant circle

and loved to show us how brave and strong he was on the uneven bars.

What a great party. So much fun.
