Christmas 2008 Picture Extravaganza

First, a few pictures from before Christmas:


Helping Daddy eat some "burger and fry" from his favorite fast food restaurant



Reading his favorite piece of literature--the trash and recycling collection schedule



Doing some coloring and showing us his "Where is it?" pose. I don't remember which color he was looking for.



December 23 - Our Christmas


Sharing some juice with Puppy at breakfast


At the Children's Museum: waving to all the people and cars below



Showing Daddy how to ride the bus (this was Daddy's first visit to the Children's Museum, so Jacob had to show him the ropes)



Doing a little grocery shopping...


...before cooking Christmas dinner


Jacob the science kid, discovering that water will weigh down a shovel and make it tip over


More water fun



Checking out his stocking - yay, new crayons!



Showing off all his trains (he got 3 new ones). He also got some new Curious George books and some slippers from us. His big present is a big boy bed, not pictured because it is not put together yet. We'll have pictures of his new room soon!


December 24 - Schoenbauer Christmas


Grandpa, Uncle Mike, and Jacob playing a rousing game of "Scene It?"



Jacob attacking his cousin Libby with a giant bear



The big present of the day: a big truck with cars inside!


December 25 - Boyum Christmas at Aunt Jena and Uncle Ty's house


Playing with his cars at our house. Jacob was very lucky that Uncle Mike and Aunt Katie dropped the truck off at our house. It was somehow left behind at Grandpa & Grandma Schoenbauer's.


Jacob helping to make muffins. He loves to stir the batter. He also loves to taste it. Strangely, he doesn't love eating the finished muffins quite so much.



OK, now we're at Jena and Ty's house. Jacob got some help opening his presents from Claire and Gracie.



Opening his big present - an oven! Yay, now he can cook for us. I need to get a picture of him with his other very large present, a Coca Cola bear that is bigger than he is. He loves to wrestle with it.


December 27 - Christmas in Iowa


We spent over an hour putting the oven together once we got home, so that Jacob could play with it the next morning. Here he is checking it out.



Aunt Jena & Uncle Ty gave him some pots and pans to cook in.


Turning up the burner



Christmas at Great-Grandpa & Grandma Kuehn's house, sitting with Mommy's cousin Tony and waiting patiently for presents. Jacob had a lot of fun playing with the "big kids" and was very upset when it was time to go home.


Checking out his new toy, fridge phonics. The letters are all magnets and there is a base to put them in, which tells you the sounds each letter makes. Jacob loves this!


He also got more magnets, letters and numbers. Everyone seems to know how much he likes learning these days!

Wow! Loved all the pictures. Bet Jacob spending time with Daddy that week of Christmas and showing him around the Children's museum. Cute. What a great Christmas! Thanks for sharing.

Love Grandpa & Grandma B.
