Christmas and New Years

Well Christmas in Lewisburg was great.  We enjoyed the time with family and friends got to spend some time just relaxing.  It was much needed and it couldnt have been better.  Jake was just smitten with the Christmas tree and lights and his Great Grandma Lukas!  He laughed or smiled every time we let him touch the tree.  He did so well Christmas morning sitting by the presents and taking it all in.  He played until he wore himself out and was exhausted.  We put him down for a nap around 11:00 and he slept until 3:00is when we woke him up.  Some of the family was getting ready to leave because it was starting to snow!  I was excited that his first Christmas was a white one.  He almost slept through the entire afternoon.  It was all so overwhelming to him.  It was definitely the best Christmas ever for Brad and I!  Oh and Jake got his first tooth in on Christmas Day!  I couldnt help but sing "all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth."  haha. Her are a few pictures from the fun!

 We came back to home a few days after Christmas and enjoyed more family time just the three of us.  Brad was off work and I worked a few half days so we could have more time together.  It was much needed!

We spent New Years Eve with the Heacox family in Paducah which was awesome.  We just love spending time with famly and Jake LOVES playing with all his cousins, aunts, uncles, and nana, and papa.  We had Christmas and New Years in one day up there!  Jake was so excited about more Christmas presents and the New Year that he didnt want to go to sleep.  He stayed up later than he ever has before!  We could tell he was getting sleepy around 9:30 but he just would let himself go to sleep.  We rocked and walked and listened to lullabys but eventually I just gave in and let him sit with us while we played Phase Ten.  He was very happy to spend time with everyone.  We were finally able to put him down around 11:45...just enough time so Brad and I could watch the ball drop together.  Here are a few pictures from Paducah...
