Christmas 2011

Christmas was very quiet this year. We went to Ryan's parents on Christmas Eve and opened presents. It was just the five of us. Jacob had a great time and got way too many treasures!

Christmas in Dallas

We spent the week before Christmas in Dallas with my family. It was very enjoyable. Jacob had a lot of fun. We didn't get any snow while we were there.

Learning to shoot

Uncle T bought Jacob a BB gun before Christmas. Since Uncle T was gone for Christmas, he let Jacob open it early! He was thrilled! Here are a couple of pics of Ryan teaching Jacob to aim at a box in the backyard. He is pretty good with it. We have taken it with us to Ryan's grandparent's home where it is more open than where we live. I wish it would teach him some patience!

It's Gingie!

Before Christmas, Jacob came home with a blank Gingerbread Man to decorate for a game at school where they had to guess who decorated which one. Can you guess which one is his? Ryan spent about 90% more time on it than Jacob!

Jacob and his pup

Jacob loves his Taylor! Here is a pic of the two of them together while Taylor is waiting to see the vet.

Jacob's new cast

Jacob broke his arm the day before Thanksgiving! We were playing soccer in the back yard and he was walking backwards. Neither Ryan or I saw this happen, but he says that he feel on his arm. Needless to say, he was in excruciating pain. We took him to the ER and it was confirmed that it was broken. Because it was Thanksgiving weekend, we were not able to get a cast on it until the next Monday.

He choose maroon for his Aggies! The cast came off on Dec. 22nd, right before Christmas!
