Lila's 1st Christmas and Jake turns 7!!!!!!

Yes I know that it has been a while since I have posted anything here but not much happened before Christmas and since we were in SC for the past 10 days enjoying the family and weather the opportunity never came up. So first of all Lila loved Christmas she was so excited to open gifts that she unwrapped the box and move on to the next. She had no idea that items were inside the box. She was a lot of fun to watch! Jake also celebrated his 7th B-day a little early so all the family could attend. Grandma & Grandpa Bob, Aunt Krystina, Grandaddy Stark & and Aunt Nana all came for the big celebration!! Then the most anticipated news on the rouge tooth..... it finally gave in to all the pressure on Dec. 30th.Jake was officially 7 when he lost his 1st tooth and now the another is loose. We actually had a bit of an intervention with the tooth. We decided to tie a string around it and put in on the door knob and when that didn't work Scott hog tied that tooth and gave a quick tug and Jake was sooooo excited. He jumped up and down and ran to the bathroom to catch a glimpse of his new smile and immediately saw blood and ran back to the kitchen sounding the "blood" alarm. He rinsed his mouth a few times and all was good and he continued to celebrate his milestone with pride!!! We have it all on video!!! We had a great time in SC and the weather was just beautiful for the most part the kids even decided to jump in the ocean and yes it was cold, very cold, but it didn't seem to bother any of the delusional children.
