Top Memories of Christmas 2008!

1. Taylor went on a date with Grandma P to High School Musical on Ice where she was royally spoiled and definitely created a lasting memory with Grandma.2. Making Christmas cookies. I let them just have at it with the sprinkles and didn't think about the mess until after. Too fun!
3. Andy yelling Choo Choo Train EVERY time he opened a present (he got a lot of trains) and LOVING the train table Grandpa J built for him. He did not want to leave it Christmas afternoon to go to Grandma P's.
4. He was also obsessed with Grandpa P's train! 5. Taylor thoroughly enjoyed the unwrapping of the presents more than what was inside. If you didn't hurry she would open yours too.
6. Conversation between Grandma J and Taylor prior to Christmas.
Grandma: So Taylor you have so many toys, I don't know what to get you.
Taylor: You can give me a cowboy hat.
7. Ashlyn kicking her legs and screaming every time she saw Christmas lights...such a fun age!
8. Ashlyn cared more about the M&M's in her stocking than anything else.
She had them gone in record time.
9. Andy and Ashlyn needing all the toys out of the box as soon as the wrapping was off.
10. Russ and Trisha making an ANNOUNCEMENT.
Baby Jacobson, we can't wait to meet you July 2009!!!
11. Christmas Eve at our house where Russ introduced the kids to Mr. Fuzzy and when I first suspected my sister was pregnant...didn't take long, I know her too well to believe she would drink milk for dinner just because.
12. Record snow fall in Wrightwood: Taylor was in heaven!


13. Tyler making up for not sleeping "Christmas Eve Eve" in order to finish all our shopping. Thank goodness stores were open 24 hours!!!
14. New York!

15. The bottom half of our tree was ornamentLESS due to some active toddlers. Please take note of all the red balls on the top half.
This was such a memorable Christmas for our family. The kids are at such fun ages and it makes me so excited for the years to come.

That train table is awesome. If only that wouldn't take up half of our tiny little apartment...

And it snows there? Cool.
