Ugly Sweater Party

A few weeks ago we had an Ugly Sweater Party / White Elephant Party. This was a lot of fun.

Jayden's Christmas Pix

This years Christmas season is especially joyous and reminds me of the true meaning of the holiday. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, my mom-in-law came to church with us, then came over to our house afterward. Dale took the opportunity to spend some quality time rocking Jayden in the glider, while Cheryl and I decorated our Christmas tree. This was a lot of fun because we all reminisced about family stories of Christmas past while we were decorating. Holidays tend to pass by so quickly that it's hard to stop and enjoy them. But this year time with Jayden and our family and friends is the most important thing on our Christmas wish list. After we decorated our tree Jayden and I spent part of a morning the next week having our play time near it, and of course my camera was never too far from me. So here are some of those precious memories...

Baby J's a Trooper

Thursday's are my day off during the week to get to spend the day with Jayden and catch up on some chores while he is napping. This week Baby J had to get his first immunization shots. Two months old already, it's crazy how time flies!!! He was such a trooper, the little man cried for about 5 seconds and was bright red during a fit of crying while the nurse was giving him the shots, but after the nurse was done, he forgot all about them and was happily drinking the rest of his bottle. He didn't have any need for Tylenol either, (our doc doesn't recommend it anyway) and he slept the same 3-4 hours as he has been the last few weeks. Here's some pics of him after his shots playing when we got home.

Look Mom...I'm rolling!!!

I'm saying cheese!

There's (kinda) a smile for you!!!
