Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Well, we had a busy time this Christmas. We started out travelling downstate to my parents on the 23rd only to have BAD weather the whole way. And surprise surprise, Sanilac County happened to be the worst ( for those of you from there, you know what I am talking about..lol).

But we finally made it around 1:30am on the 24th. It took us about 12 1/2 hrs. We made it back in about 10 hrs but with strong winds. We had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Bradley's. Jacob got to spend a little time with Aunt Susan, cousins Amber and her kids Brooklyn 4, Gage 3, and Alaynna 18 mths, cousins Cory 17, Alysa 14, and Brianna 12. Santa came there and brought Jacob some nice presents.



Before we left to come back home, we had Jacob baptized at the church I grew up in. We only have camcorder video of the ceremony, but there is one pic from that day.



When we got home, we had our own family Christmas, where Santa was really good to Jacob since he had been such a good boy. Enjoy the pictures.

Jacob doesn't like to keep his hat on too long, but here he kept it on long enough for me to get a shot

Jacob loves to play hello/goodbye with all the doors. Grandma and Grandpa have many doors.

WHEEEE!!









Jacob found a hiding place for one of his toys in a kitchen drawer.
