Christmases 2009

Jacob got to celebrate Christmas twice this year. First, we celebrated with my family on Dec. 23 at my sister's house in Ripon. The de Jongs were all there, so we had quite a big bunch--19 people! It was so nice to see everyone, especially Deb's kids because we don't get to see them so much. They hadn't met Jacob yet either, so that was really nice!








On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we went to Larry's parents' house. On Christmas Eve, we had a wonderful ham dinner and then played Rook. On Christmas Day we came back there after church and opened presents! We had a really great time! We even played bean bag toss inside the house! Overall, Jacob did pretty well, although now it's 10:15 the next morning, and he's still in his crib! I guess he was pretty tired from all the excitement!
