December was filled with lots and lots of fun and activities... Here are the rest of the December pictures/activities that haven't made it to the blog yet!!!
Our little family of four (and Stormie)!
We celebrated Mama and Daddy and Jen's birthdays! (the pictures from Mama and Daddy's birthdays didn't turn out as good! :-(
Jake loves to help... especially when frosting is involved!
Sam and BJ's gingerbread house...
Jen came over and made gingerbread men with the boys... I would have more pictures of that, but I ended up having to keep Jake from eating ALL of the decorations!!!
We went to Macey's birthday party (Jake was still sleeping, so I ended up waking Sam up and just he and I went)...
Some of our play date friends came over for a cookie swap! Here are all the kids... too bad the kids wouldn't all sit still at the same time!!! You see that mine was a problem... ;-)
Here are the 'original' boys... the 'seniors' of the group!!!!
Sam and Riley climbed in the chair together to take in some T.V.!!!!
Opa and Ernie came over the night before Christmas Eve to celebrate... Here's the family picture - we sure missed Brandon and Mandy this year! :-( But they are doing wonderful in New York and love it (except for the COLD)!!!

(I'm not sure what Sam is doing... I think he is being a reindeer!!!)
For some reason, Jake looks old in this picture! :-(
Waiting (not-so-patiently) to open presents...
Commence round 1 of presents...
BJ waiting (patiently) to open gifts... OK - so he didn't even know that he had one, but that's beside the point!!!
The kids painted mommy and daddy a coffee mug... aren't they so sweet and thoughtful???
Opa and his boys...
The kids got Opa and Ernie a cutting board with our family picture from last year on it!
Christmas at my parents' house at the lake...
Waiting (not-so-patiently AT ALL) for round 2 of presents!!!
Mommy was KILLING them with the picture-taking...
Sam's pile...
Jake's pile... he wasn't so cooperative for me!

You can't tell, but I got a FLIP video camera thing... so hopefully videos will start showing up on my blog (this year sometime!!!)
BJ's new toy... HE was SUPER excited!!!
Bo got a violin... I think something happened to it here!?
The cake plate 'the kids' made for Mama and Daddy!
Here's a close-up... the flowers on the edges are all of our fingerprints (mine, BJ's, Sam's, Jake's, Bo's and Jen's..... ALL of their kids!!!)
Of course the boxes are the most fun... and Jack is making sure everything is 'safe!'
My new Uggs... (I was super excited!!!)
The mess...
Me and Jen in our new coats...
The pile of trash became a mosh pit!!!
Our little bow-collector...
Then Santa came and dropped off all of HIS loot... (Jack supervised!)
Christmas morning - their first look at their new jumpy house!!!!
Then all of their OTHER stuff...
Right to work...

Too funny!!!

Maybe he got up a little too early???
Maybe they both did?
The JUMPY HOUSE!!!!!!! (I couldn't get Jake to sit - at all - to get his picture too!!!)
I spared you the 50+ pictures it took to get to the 'good' ones... but you may recall 'The Art of Obtaining the Family Portrait' from a previous post way back in 2006.
We bundled them up to go ride their four-wheelers too!!!!
BJ played too... forshadowing????
This was actually a great gift... now if I can just get him to wear it... all the time!?!?!?
Wonder what 2010 will bring???? With these guys, only God knows!!!!!
