Happy New Year's Eve...

Jake, Mom & Dad celebrate New Year's Eve together.

Dad taught Jake all about 'sprinklers'.

Jake was extra careful...

...for a bit!  But they SURE HAD FUN.

Lots of sparkler tricks.

(along side Dad's new chiminea)

Happy New Year 2011

to all of our family & friends.

Christmas at Mimi & Bips...

Santa just happen to drop off a few items

at Mimi & Bip's house for LK, AJ and Jake.

It's a cousin Christmas!

Mimi opened the door for the Santa Surprise.

Jake SCORED!

How did Santa know?

His favorite...a real BUZZ LIGHTYEAR outfit.

'There's a snake in my boot!'

A Toy Story guitar...

Thanks Uncle Mike & Aunt Emily...

I can't wait to serenade you all.

'Oh, is that FOR ME Bips?,

You KNOW how I LOVE a cool train' - Jake

The grown-up white elephant exchange.

AJ, Aunt KK, Aunt Emily & Uncle Mike

Aunt Ashley & Uncle RD trying to be strategic in their pick.

Jake using that 'DelNegri charm' to put smiles on all faces.

He inherited Grandpa Ted's wonderful personality.

Our own Toy Story show...

Buzz, Jessie and Woody.

Buzz couldn't be any happier.

'Did you see my cool laser Uncle Mike?'

Happy Birthday Jesus!

We love you!

And to all...a GOOD NIGHT!

This was one tired little boy.

Merry Christmas.

Christmas 2010...

Merry Christmas Jake!

Santa visited Jake..and obviously thought

he was a VERY GOOD BOY this year.

Jake heard Jake's wish for a 'BIG BUZZ LIGHTYEAR'. 

...and Santa fixed Jake's Woody Toy

that Matt gave to him.  He now speaks again!

Daddy was feeling better and was put right to work.

And boy was it work getting that Buzz out of the box.

Jake got his favorite 'Little People' books...

...and a parking garage for all of his cars.

Jake quickly figured out that Santa

had wrapped his Toy Story Toys in Toy Story paper.

Buzz Light year to the rescue....or is that Jake?

Toy Story took over our living room:

Army Men, Mr. Potato Head, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Zurg

and of course BUZZ LIGHTYEAR.

Other favorites also came to play....like Spider Man. 

Jake thought his Toy Story

Memory Game was pretty cool.

He figured it out 'ALL BY MYSELF'.

That Santa....

Jake wants to show you his last favorite gift...

...his very own catcher's mask.

Mom & Jake wore the 'Gator' eye black all day.

(Because every 2 year old should have his own catcher's mask)

Our little BUZZ would like to wish you all a

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Jake's Christmas Party at School...

Jake had a FUN Christmas Party at school

on the last day before winter break (2 whole weeks).

All of the parents came to help celebrate. 

The kids exchanged Secret Santa gifts... 

Jake LOVED his Animal Planet Safari Bucket.

(especially since we just visited Lion Country Safari)

Thanks Secret Santa Pal. 

Mommy brought reindeer candy canes.

Ms. Jackie passed them out to the class.

(Lily & Addy got one too)

So much fun...did you see my animals?

Jake gave his teachers special presents for Christmas.

They LOVED the homemade chocolate candies. 

Jake & Mathew 'flirting' with Ms. Jordan. 

Jake, Luck, Ryder & Scott say

Merry Christmas to our class pals.

Jake's Christmas Program...

Happyland presented 'The Angel's Christmas Story'.

10 classes all participated in the program.

Mrs. Betz & Ms. Gretchen brought in Jake's class.

They came in to sing 3 songs.

'We are Santa's helpers'...

'Tap, Tap, Tap, Go our Little Hammers'... 

'Ring, Ring, Ring, Go our Little Bells'...

'We are Santa's Helpers, Making Christmas Toys!'

(Lucy, Abigail and Jake) 

'Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the Way!'

(Alana, Lucy, Abigail, Jake & Ms. Gretchen)

'We Wish YOU a Merry Christmas...' 

Jake's Fan Club.

He did a GREAT JOB and sung his little heart out.

He loves Christmas music just like his mom!
