I cannot believe that Christms is only a few days away!  We have been having alot of fun with our special activitites each night counting down 'till Christmas.  Jacob is always excited to get up each morning and read what the fun activity is for the day.  Usually it is something simple such as craft project or hot chocolate before bed.  We have done a couple that require a bit more planning like going to Snowflake Lane in Bellevue or having a sleepover by the Christmas tree(that one is coming up later in the week!).  This is the first year we have done these special actvities leading up to the holiday, but I definitely think it is going to be a tradition that lasts!


Last week Jacob had his last day of school for 2011!  They ended with a party in his class which he was quite excited for.  He is also reading now, which completely blows my mind!  I brought out the B.O.B books to show him and he pulled out the first one and was able to read it to me!  He really loves to read right now and I hope his love for it continues!

He is not currently playing any sports right now, but in January I will be signing him up for t-ball.  He has played the past 2 years through the YMCA but this year is old enough to play Little League.  Right now he isn't entitely convinced that this will be fun because he thinks that he is going to "break his knee" because that is what happened to Uncle Dakota when we watched one of his games last summer(well, he didn't actually "break" his knee...just tore some ligaments).  I know he will enjoy it once he starts playing though.
