Our little family has had a lot to celebrate. Christmas came early with the arrival of our sweet Katelyn Terri. She was the best gift by far!
We celebrated "Christmas Adam" with a beverage tasting party. The beverages were terrible. We found out afterward that 2 of them were expired... bleh! Of course, the best part of a beverage party is spitting out the nasty beverages and watching everyone's faces when they take the first sip, so it was quite the success on that account. :)
The Crosby crew (Jay and Sue, Tammy, Bryson, Brayden and Sean) joined us for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. It was fun to have them with us! Thank you to the Crosbys for our new camera. No more fuzzy pictures! Yay!
Jake got a "bike" from Santa. :)
Jasmine got a BUNNY!!! We named him Zorro at first, but recently changed his name to Spazzer, because he is totally spastic outside of his cage-lots of fun, though.
Jake's awesome tool set...
Kate enjoyed Christmas with the family.

Jacob LOVES uncle Sean. He was a good buddy to our little man.
I got together with two of my wonderful friends, and Jake thought he'd try their shoes on for size...
Our kiddos are already great friends! I'm hoping it stays just like this.
Our New Year's Eve celebration consisted of: homemade Chinese food, fortune cookies (ugly but edible), watching the New York Philharmonic via PBS, and early bedtime because mom and dad were (and still are) sleep deprived. We did set an alarm and wake up just before midnight to saay "Happy New Year," and then went back to sleep. We'll stay up next year, when we are all able to get more sleep on a regular basis. :)
Jake turned 2 on January 2! He is our happy camper. He loves Thomas the Train, cars, trucks, cello wars, Stephen Sharp Nelson (who he thinks is "daddy"), kicking balls, running, walks with Melanie and Roxy (our neighbor and her dog), dancing in the living room, making messes, mimcking animal sounds, reading books with mom and dad, and "playing" with Katelyn, who he calls "tate."
He "helped" make his cake..
It was Noah's Ark.
We had a party and he was spoiled with books, puzzles, coloring stuff, and candy. :)
We were supposed to have a video of Jake's birthday song, but I'm too impatient for it to load. He blew out his candle--woohoo!
Oh, how he loves Katelyn. What a good big brother he is!
Yesterday, baby Kate hit her 4 week mark! She's getting big. We sure love her!
Happy New Year to all!!
