We started the break with a short trip to the lake to have Christmas with the Coxes. Jacob always loves visiting the lake because there is lots of room to run around and ride his bike! Nathan worked the following week (with the exception of Jacob's birthday) so Jake and I spent time at home playing, baking and having fun with friends. Of course, we spent Christmas Eve with my parents and then enjoyed the quiet morning at home (also trying to recover from a terrible cold that has seemed to last the entire break!). In the afternoon, we headed to my parent's house to have Christmas with the Finkelstein family, everyone was in town this year including my sister and her family and it was just so fun to get all six cousins together! Nathan took this past week off and we had a great time as a family! He went on a short trip to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl and Jacob and I enjoyed some time just the two of us!
All in all, it has been a wonderful holiday season for the Cox household! We are so looking forward to ringing in the New Year with some dear friends tonight and welcoming 2012, which will be so exciting! We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating tonight and that your new year is filled with lots of fun!
I couldn't resist re-posting these adorable pictures of Jacob from a few years ago!
