(click to enlarge picture.) These are some pictures my mom took of Jake and my dad -- I LOVE them. Journaling says: Jake is so lucky to get to see Mommy's parents not just during the holidays, but almost every day of the year! The Christmas tree at Nana's house this year is gorgeous. It's a 9 foot artificial tree, pre-lit with white lights. We added clear, white, silver, and gold ornaments, red balls, and cross-stitched ornaments that Nana has made over the years (and a few of Jake's, too.) Jake loves this tree -- he asks Nana to turn it on every morning, he plays with the ornaments on his level, and Grand-dad helps him reach and see the rest!
P.S. Jake is still sick, but I think he's on his way to getting better. He's not getting worse, and no longer has fevers, so that's important. We had another sleepless night, though. I literally was smacking myself on the drive in to work so I would keep my eyes open. I think it's coffee time!!! (Thank you, Kelly, and everyone, for asking how we are doing.)
P.P.S. for those of you who haven't already, post your MOTW questions for me here.

SO GORGEOUS. I truly admire your talent, Jen. Your pages are always so beautiful. My pictures sit in boxes. Nice, huh? I just don't have time to scrapbook and when I think of starting, I get completely overwhelmed. I have so many years to catch up on! Way to go, girl.
Glad Jake's on the mend. It's so hard when they're sick. Take care girl!

OMG that 1st photo of your dad and Jake on the left is just beautiful! I can feel the love from here :)
I wish I was half as clever as you are, Jen.
