Jade received so many fun things from Grandma and Popie (my parents). She loved her new snow pants, which she can't wait to try out. We had a blast Christmas afternoon with my family eating a delicious turkey dinner and playing games (thanks Mom and Dad)!!!
Yes, you are seeing EDWARD... Rachel, my little sis, woke up to this on Christmas!
Jade had to put on all her presents when she opened them... this is her at Jason's family's house on Christmas morning. Thanks everyone for everything!
Pajama party on Christmas Eve with Cassi, Emily and ME ... Jason was taking the picture, but for SURE participated! Nick and Carrie had to go back home but we missed them!
Jade's debut as a 'star'. She did so well and every time the word 'star' was mentioned, she held it up high... then her arm would get tired and she'd rest it on G'pa's head. So cute! This was at the Baird family Christmas Party at Scott's office.
After dinner one night, Jade went in her room and found her towel with a hood in it, and put it on and brought Jason a towel from the bathroom and said, " you be Joseph, daddy, and I'm Mary."
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We sure did and enjoyed every moment! It seems since we have little ones around, they bring out all the fun in you! They really remind you that simple things can be so exciting and fun. Jade loved reading books about the Savior's birth and every time she saw a Nativity or a little baby, she would say, "it's baby Jesus". She always wanted to dress up like Mary, and hold her baby doll and tell us it was Jesus. It was so cute! We loved most of all being able to spend time with Family!!!
TOP 10 OF CHRISTMAS:
1. Spending SO much time together! Never getting sick of hanging out, playing games, or talking.
2. Family parties/ Family NIGHTS- my family had a special family night that all centered around Christ and it was a reverent and special evening! Scott(Jason's dad) planned a wonderful Family night and Christmas party where we acted out the Nativity and ate yummy soups!
3. SNOW - it's about the ONE time I enjoy seeing snow on the ground and all around!
4. Good Treats- Our neighbors are so wonderful... it was awesome to have so many fun treats and and notes, reminders of what CHristmas is really about!
5. SERVICE- we were able to do some fun things as a family and have others do things for us too! (a teenage girl in our ward came over the day is snowed like 10 feet and shoveled our whole driveway and walkway by herself! She didn't even ask. It almost made me cry b/c Jason was sick and Jade and I couldn't leave to go out and do it myself because I was holding jade all day and she just came over and did it!! So awesome!!!
6. NATIVITY- Jade just lOVES the nativity story and acting it out. She got to debut as a 'star' in two nativity's this year... she loved every second of it!
7. MUSIC- I love Christmas music and I LOVE to play it constantly! It is a perfect reminder of the reason for the season...
8. Pajama Party- Jason's sisters came over and we played Rock band and talked and stayed up WAY to late.
9. PRESENTS- Giving fun things to people, shopping for them, making them, receiving wonderful thoughtful gifts...
10. Celebrating Christ's BIRTH- This Christmas has just been so special this year. We had a lot of good family nights, and opportunities to teach JAde what Christmas is all about. It has made our thoughts centered and more focused around HIM, and because of HIM the Greatest GIFT we could ever receive!
