34 Photos and The Real Santa Claus!

We visited Santa last year, and Jacob concluded that the Santa we saw was not actually the real Santa. He decided that Santa probably has helper Santas to help visit malls and Santa breakfasts. After all, he has a LOT to do in December. Jacob checked with Greg on Friday, just to confirm that not all Santas in the mall are real.

Jacob was very serious during the visit and kept looking Santa's face up and down. After the visit he asked Greg if he thought it was the real Santa. Greg said, "I don't know, but it seemed like it. I think it was." Jacob looked up at him and said, "Me, too!"

Benjamin just sat on his lap and chilled out.

Breakfast afterwards. Benjamin had a great time!

I don't know what this face is, but I love it.

Me: Jake, smile!

Um, okay... try again.

No, really. Just smile, Jake. A normal smile.

Nevermind.

On the way home, Jacob wanted to take photos. Here's number 1.

He was then in the mood to pose for some photos.

Benjamin wasn't sure about all of this goofiness.

So, he did what any baby brother would do.

He hit him on the head.

Little Stinker.

Life has been very busy lately (as I'm sure it is for everyone else). I'm still a little speechless after finding out that the crown Jacob got earlier this year didn't work, and he is now going to have that crown removed, the tooth extracted, a spacer put there because he's so young, and THREE additional crowns. Yikes. What is going on with his teeth?

So, there won't be many words in this post.

Window crayons = awesome.

Praying mantis.

Shirt Dad brought Jacob from Vegas.

Benjamin's M&M backpack. I couldn't get a good photo because he after the 2 solid minutes of just staring at it and smiling, he wouldn't stop pushing it around!

Wearing Jacob's sweatshirt.

Jacob's sweatshirt, Benjamin's red jacket, Jacob's black jacket.

Helping Nana make Thanksgiving dinner. Look how big Jake looks!

Benjamin getting ready to help.

He pushed the chair over himself and also climbed up. I'm SO excited about his new talent. Really. Just overjoyed that he can stand on chairs now.

SingStar on Thanksgiving.

Messy face + funny face = Benjamin

He asked me to take this photo. I don't know why.

Feeling like a big boy. Eating in a big chair.

And getting ready for Christmas!
