Christmas, Jake Turns SEVEN!

Well, its only a month after Christmas so I'm doing pretty good. Christmas was a little different this year because I had to work Christmas Eve. Jake and Drew drove out to Bama ahead of me the Monday before Christmas and I flew out to meet them in Birmingham on Christmas morning. I was afraid I might not get to go since it snowed all day on Christmas Eve while I worked and many flights had been cancelled that night..... but thankfully it cleared up enough by morning that it didn't effect my flight. We did the Lloyd family Christmas at his Grand Dad's house that day and our family Christmas that night. Jake was SO SWEET because he had decided that he didn't want to see what Santa had brought or open any presents until his Mommy got there. So he had Andrew get up that morning and put away all his "Santa stuff" so he wouldn't see it until that night when I could be there. :) :) :) As you can see, Timber had a great time opening presents..................So Andrew put everything back, just as Santa had it ;) And this was Jake's face when he came down stairs....... The Heisman pose................Santa knows how much he loves to wrestle and how important it is to protect your brain:) So he got Jake headgear. He was so creative and spelled out Jake's name with chocolate candy. And got him a UFC champion belt for when he beats his Daddy in wrestling.

Sarah got to come home from Japan! We were so glad she was there too.

Andrew's friend Mark came by to visit. They've known each other since they were little kids.Jake challenged Mark to a wrestling match. And I'm not real sure why he's not wearing his new head gear. ?? Looks like he probably needed it right about now.

By the way, we didn't do Christmas cards this year (or a tree or any decorations- because they're all in the very back of our storage unit) .... so thats why you didn't get one from us:)

We celebrated Jake's birthday while we were in Bama. Jake chose to invite his friend Will and his brother Joshua over for his party and then they went to Pump It Up.

The boys had a lot of fun together and they invited Jake to spend the night so he was really excited about that. I still can't believe he's SEVEN, that makes me feel really old!The weekend of New Years Mom, Dad and Clayton came up from Austin for our family Christmas. We played with Jake's games and had a lot of fun-

I never though to get out my camera and take pictures. But here are some from Thanksgiving when we went to Main Event. Thats right- Jake got second in bowling and I beat Clayton!
