Pre-Christmas

We didn't want to take any gifts with us to Utah so we had our Christmas the Saturday before Christmas Day.

It's fun as Jake gets older to see him get excited about Christmas. He really enjoyed opening his gifts. When he opened an outfit from Wesley's parents, he immediately started taking off his shirt so he could try it on. It's nice as you get older and have kids that just watching them is Christmas enough for you, I could care less if I get a present.

We gave Jake his gifts throughout the week before we left so that he could enjoy them before we went to Utah. His big fun gift was a ball pit, we all love it!


Like father, like son - You can see Jake has learned how to eat his cereal from daddy


Does anyone else have play rooms that look like this? Since this last disaster we've been teaching Jake to clean up each thing before he moves on to the next. He can sure mess things up fast!

Just like it should be - the men cleaning the house

Have your men come teach my men to clean! Well, one of my men might be a bit young, but one definitely isn't!

I cleaned up a toy mess that looked very similar just today. Such as life.
