thats it, all I have to say
I think that this picture may rival the pic of JT jumping from the diving board
Sledding
On the way home both Kurt and I reluctantly admitted that while sledding we strained our necks and felt really old!

Winter
The let down of the holidays are over and now with all these new toys in the house we are stuck trying to figure out what to do in the frigid cold. This is when I miss Cali. I dont remember being "stuck" in the house except for the occasional rainy day.
Well, when stuck you make the best of it. We like to play legos, wrestle, dodge ball (oh yeah, in the house!) and dress up. The following pictures will be used in the future for total embarrassment.
Living in a military area many of the people I work with are military spouses. Talking at work one day about Jakes obsession with planes one of the Ladies I work with said her husband is a pilot and would love to take Jake to see the planes. So Jake and I got a close up tour of a couple planes. He was in heaven but his day was MADE when he was given a real patch with the squadrons insignia on it. He was wearing his bomber jacket and the Pilot told Jake he could put it on his jacket. Jake looked at him and cool as a cucumber responded " No, this is a B.O.M.B.E.R Jacket" The pilot laughed and agreed the patch would be better on his pilot's jumpsuit
SNOW...snow is always good for a couple days of excitement.
Gabi was NOT having it!

Sorry for the snot in this picture but I love her eyes

She didnt even like the "sled"
I am not sure what he was doing in this picture but totally intense!
I am sad he turned his head at the last second but I still love the tuft of hair, nose and mouth side view

Holidays
This is going to be a long post and I don't have time to do multiple posts to break it up. So yes, there will be a TON of pictures
Did I even post Halloween? Wow, that's terrible.
Halloween: Awesome
Jake was the "Red Baron" or Baron von Richthofen
Gabi was a pumpkin
Thanksgiving:
Food=good!
I don't have a good picture but Kurt was working and we ate a lot!
Enjoy a couple other pics from November
Hanukkah: WHATTT??? it was at the same time as thanksgiving this year. Too early!
We explained to Jake that at Hanukkah we give one present each night and its not always a toy. We have a tradition of giving socks and underwear. It has become this great tradition and we all get so excited for socks. Who knew. So Jake was prepped.
I hand him the present that contained socks. he pulls them out and says:
"Ugghh, that's not fun at all" and throws them down
--can you blame him
So I open my package--socks!
" YEAHHHH, I got my socks!!! Jake what did you get? "
He chuckles and says "socks"
Kurt's turn, he opens and ---yup-- socks
"Wow Jake! Daddy got socks, awesome!"
Jake" OHHH yeah,, we all got socks-- whoohooo"
And the tradition continues
Trip to Gangi and Granddaddy's:
Literally about to leave the house and I get that flu feeling. suddenly-- muscles weak, cold, achy, shivery. Suck it up Rach, the car is packed we are going!
i immediately go to sleep in the car-- not like me
We stop at Bass Pro shops cause they have awesome Christmas village. totally miserable.
Up to NoVa. Lots of tea, Tylenol cold and sinus and Motrin. SUCK it UP
We had fun. Went to the Mall for the carousel because Gabi loves it. played in the snow (left over from the last week), To the park go fly a glider plane with grandaddy, drove to the largest house ever with lights you could see glowing from the main street, hung out and opened presents!
Christmas: The anticipation, the faces of the kids, SANTA, PRESENTS!
It was a great morning. Kurt had to work but was able to get some coverage until noon. So we had Christmas morning together. I was on call but never got called in! Gigi and PopPop were over to enjoy as well
Jake kept saying" this is what I've always wanted forever!"
at bed time he said " mom, you're awesome!" YES!!!!
Happy Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

The kids love the train track
Gabi was up at her normal early hour so scoped out her present before the rest awoke
Classic: Jake realizing Santa came
Jake realizing he got an Aircraft Carrier AND planes
perfect moment #1
Gabi got a dress up box, she wore the skirt all morning
ahh, as good as it gets-- classic
Perfect moment #2
Happy Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
