Slacker!



But I have an excuse--traveling during the holidays with a baby sucks!!! Jake had a great first Christmas though. (Lots of pictures here) The morning that we left for Ohio we had our fake Christmas morning here so we didn't have to take his presents to Ohio with us. We got up and pretended Santa had come. He really didn't care, but we did. We made it in one piece and only stressed some about the schedule that we make for ourselves. It was great to see everyone and even had a few opportunities to catch up with some college friends.
Jake even had his first visit to the Beta house and got to watch some beer pong. It was funny to think about what he'll do when he's in college (or when he's 30 like mom and dad still playing beer pong--don't worry I was the DD--I had someone drink for me.)

Jake was so spoiled at Christmas that we had to go buy boxes and ship them to Georgia so we could make everything fit! (Well, part of that was my fault because I bought him a wagon in Ohio which took up a lot of room. . .)

We've also celebrated Avery's first birthday-hard to believe Jake's first birthday is a month away! (Pics here)
