Last night was Jake and Addi's Christmas programs at their schools. Since they were on the same night James took Addi to hers and I took Jake to his. The video camera went with James and the digital came with me so I got this picture of Jake when he first changed into his costume last night. James and Addi got finished at hers in time to bring the video camera so we got video of Jake's too so it worked out great. Jake did a great job...he sang all the songs, did the motions, and actually seemed to really have a good time up there so that was really neat to see. James said Addison did a great job too and from what I could see on the video (Addi was on the second row so I couldn't see her all that well) she had a good time too. Today was parties for both kids at their schools. I had to take pizza to Addi's party so Anna and I got to go and help out with the book exchange. Her class was so good and well-behaved, especially for the day before Christmas break...that was always one of the craziest days, second to Halloween of course. Then when we got home James was playing with Anna and she laughed...not just a squeal, it was a real laugh. She actually laughed so much that she gave herself the hiccups which made the laughing promptly stop before I could get her on video, but I saw, it really happened and for James and not me. :( That's okay...I'll just hold out for her first word to be "Ma-ma" like other two's were. And she's 3 months old today...it just doesn't seem possible! Anyway, we're officially on Christmas break and looking forward to lots of fun times spent with our family and friends. I'm looking forward to it more than ever this year...we are just so blessed!
