looks like this....
We were so very busy over the month of December that I didn't get the chance to post any pictures. That means this one is going to be long!! Here's a look at our Christmas festivities.

Jacob loved decorating the tree

Hanging out with Samson

Taking a quick play break

Merry Christmas!!

We went to
Opryland Hotel and looked at the lights. Jacob was completely
mesmorized....


and he really wanted to touch baby Jesus
On the 23rd we got together with Jared's mom's side of the family for dinner and Dirty Santa. We walked away with a gift card to Home Depot and Chuy's. Jacob scored some awesome books!!

Me and the girls

He really liked opening presents

This is Jacob's new book
It's called Silent NIght and plays the song while you read. AWESOME!!!
On Christmas Eve we went to church with my family and then came back to their house to eat a wonderfully yummy dinner and open presents.

Coach got Samson a femur. This dog was happy!!

So...Jared and I got REALLY into Santa Claus. It was so much fun setting all of Jacob's toys out. We made quite a bit of noise getting stuff down the stairs though. Luckily Jacob didn't wake up. We're gonna have to get better at being quiet!! :)

Christmas Day we all went and had lunch at Gran and Pappy's. We hung out there until late afternoon. We were one of the first to leave because little man was needing a nap and there was more fun to come!!

The day after Christmas we went to South Carolina to visit my grandmother and the rest of my extended family. We hadn't seen a couple of my cousin's - one lives in Pennsylvania and the other in Ohio in about a year. It was a great visit!!!....The trip there was a little stressful. Jacob got carsick and threw up several times. We stopped about 5 times before we even got to Chattanooga. It was a long day, but definitely worth every hour spent in the car to get there!!!

At the beginning of our journey
Jacob in his new car seat. He's facing forward now and loves it.

Baby it's cold outside

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!
