6 days 16 hours and 59 minutes until Chirstmas!

He was disappointed yesterday that Santa didn't remember his name. :o( So any way, look how much the boys have grown. Santa wouldn't even let Jacob sit on his knee this year. He had to sit to the side. I'm a little sad to see how my little boys are growing up. Look at that little pudgy baby of a Colby. He's almost lost all of
