Saturday: Jacob woke up saying, "Ma Ma" over and over. I'd answer and say, "Yes Jacob". When he called my name once I had Jared answer. Jacob paused and then exclaimed, "Da Da". Today we are celebrating my nephew's 1 yr birthday. We got to mom's house for the party around noon. Jacob walked over to Grandpa and Grandpa took off his coat. Kenzie gave Jacob a gift to open. It was a toy cell phone and car keys. He loved it - especially the phone. Jacob ate all his sloppy jo for lunch. Then it was time for cake. Max tried to blow out his candle and ate all his cake and ice cream. He got good and messy. Jacob ate cake and ice cream too but was very neat. I played photographer - running the video, digital, and 35mm cameras. They brought their stand for the video camera and that made it nice. Max enjoyed his gifts - and Jacob liked them too. Jacob took a nap and I helped Mel put a toy together. There were lots of screws. This evening Mom, Mel, Jared, the kids and I went to a live nativity. We waited in the line out the door of the church, then in the line inside the church. We were then seated in a small room to wait. From there we went to a much larger room to wait. We waited for probably 2 1/2 hrs. Finally we made it outside - they take you back to the night Jesus was born and you walk through Bethlahem. It was really neat and afterwards we got cookies and drinks. Jacob liked seeing the goats (even though he sees them every day). Jacob was asleep when we got home and I lay him on the dogs bed to get his snowsuit off and into his pjs.

Sunday: After church today we got pizza - Jacob was really excited when I opened the box and he saw the pizza. After lunch, a very tired Jacob lay on the couch with Daddy. Jacob and I both took a nap. Jared got up and went outside to plow the snow with the tractor and go to the neighbors to get 1000 lbs of corn. We went to meijer for a few things. When we got home it was time for dinner. After dinner Jacob asked to color. He loves coloring and besides time in the tub he colored the rest of the evening.
