Just catching up on all the fun we had over christmas break! It was alot of fun to have break with just jake and tristan but we missed our family alot! Tristan got to play in the snow on christmas eve and LOVED it!! He is definately his daddy's boy.

Tristan's first christmas was alot of fun! I think it was more fun for jake and i but we did discover tristan is easy to please. All we would of had to do was get tristan a dollar store ball and he was happy!!

But here's some videos and some pictures of all the fun!!

Bubble Bath Fun

HALLOWEEN!

Halloween was super fun this year, Jake and i dressed up as pirates and Tristan was our little pirate monkey! We went over to some friends house and partied!! Ya, and those awesome pirate hats; Jake and I made them!! That's right, made them. Out of a card board box, an old sheet, duct tape, and spray paint. It was definitely a Halloween to remember!
