Christmas #3

After we went to their house we went home put the sick, tired baby to sleep and the I went to a Christmas service at Intown done by the Evans' which was awesome. Got home at 2am which is right when Judah woke up and stayed awake for most of the night crying in pain. So Dave and I were not up bright and early like we usually are, but once we got up we had lots of fun exchanging gifts with each other. After that we headed to the Naylor house. We didn't get there until 9:30 so we had missed most of the gift exchanging, but we got food. that's all that matters!

Not sure why she looks like a ghost, but she is still really cute.

Ha!

Much better.

I feel like we look 16.

Sweet!



Josiah will not make cute smile.





Micah and Amy couldn't be there, so we skyped. It was fun.


He was very happy.




Thanks Mom for hosting! Thanks Jenna and Mom for making delicious prime rib.
That ended a very successful Christmas spent loving on lots of family!

Christmas #2

After we left the O'neals we went to Jeff and Sally's to spend Christmas Eve with them and Dave's dad, Dan. At this point Judah was still sick and very tired, but he was a trooper. He made it through without too much fussing.

We went to a Christmas Eve service, so the kids dressed up in their Sunday best.






This is what Grandpa got for JD

Not sure what Dave is doing, but between the two of them this is the best I could do

There was a lot of lounging going on






Thanks Jeff and Sally for hosting and Grandpa for all the great gifts.
Yet again another fun time spent with family!

Christmas #1

I will have several post for Christmas, because it is easier to break it up. I know I do way too many picture, but I can't choose. Sorry!

First we went to the O'neals and spent The night before Christmas eve. Judah was pretty sick at this point, so it was nice to have Mimi to take care of him. We mostly just relaxed, ate, and open gifts. It was very nice.

As you can see he was not feeling too hot.


Silly Jeff

And Dave

Jake (and Mr. and Mrs. Frosty)

Yes this was the only picture of me. Not sure what that was all about.



Thanks Doug and Gloria for being hostess with the mostess.
The food was fabulous, and it was great spending time together!

Can't believe my baby is ONE!

It happened. He turned one. As much as I tried to stop it from happening, and keep him a tiny cuddly baby (ok maybe he was never cuddly, but a baby) I could not. In all actuality it would majorly freak me out if he did stop growing and continued to be a baby, but I was not prepared for the speed at which it happened. Before I know it he will be walking (hopefully), talking (real words), and if he is anything like me bossing everyone around. Well anyways here are the pictures to prove it. We had a small family birthday party. Well it wasn't small, but it was just family. He of course refused to take a nap and was in the worst mood ever. Oh well he won't remember it anyway.

We had a cupcake station for all the other kids.


As you can see I woke him up and he was not happy.

This is us teaching him that food solves all your problems.

Garebear. It looks like he was also woken up, but unlike Judah he is always smiling.

They have no idea what is going on!

The family anxiously waiting for him to open his gifts





Dave took this opportunity to wear his rad vest.

Poor kid was so confused. He was also very determined to eat every M&M off of it first.





He was not happy when we took it away!

AND it is over. not sure where that part in his hair came from!
Thanks everyone for coming and helping us celebrate!
