Jason + Jess Finally Ride the Christmas Ships!
HolidaysThanks Mel and Nam for watching Jake. We enjoyed the night. Clear and cold. Thanks to Liz and Cory for the invite!
Snow is Magic to a 4 year old
HolidaysThis is the story that went with the snow pictures.
I love my wife. Seriously, it was super deep for Bellevue in snow and Jake was so excited to play. I even joined them to go sledding down this big hill behind our house. I was riding with Jake and we were going super fast and actually crashed 3 out of 4 times. The best part about it is, when Jess saw snow she knew well and good that we should stop what we were doing since it will soon melt and we may go all year long without that much snow.

Great times!
Jake Waiting for Santa
HolidaysWe were early for Santa so we took a few shots. Once Santa showed up Jake wasn’t up to it, so we skipped it. Still some good photos.

December Note from Ms. Cathy
Preschool From Ms. Cathy:
Dear Parents,
One more day and we’re off until January 6th. I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas with family. I told your children that I would really miss them during our break and they told me it would be ok and they could come in to give me a hug to help me feel better. 🙂
Highlights from December include:
pattern bead bracelets

We learned a new finger play that your bear can teach you (with movements) over break:
The wise men traveled from afar
Following the Christmas star
When it stopped
They jumped for joy
And worshipped baby Jesus boy!
Your child is MY blessing. Merry Christmas and Happy 2014!

Look what somebody bought with their allowance + a little daddy help
FamilyHe wanted a green light saber, but he’s pretty stoked about this one. The Darth Vader suit is awesome too, but he already had that.
