Celebrate me home

Since my family came to Utah for Thanksgiving, it was our year to spend Christmas with Jon's family. We decided to make the holiday more "vacation-like" and stayed at his parents' house. It was a lot of fun spending the days in our sweats. It was Jonah's first Christmas where he actually somewhat grasped the ideas of opening presents, Santa, etc. It was so much fun to watch him! He had such a great time playing with all of his cousins.


Here is Jonah with Mamou.

One of Jonah's most favorite things is bikes. He LOVES bikes! We made sure Santa knew this and Jonah loves him for it.

Baby Sophie has had a nice streak of blowouts and happened to have one at Mamou and Grandpa's house so I took advantage of their perfect-sized sink and bathed her in it. She enjoyed it quite a bit. And NO, I didn't use Windex on her...even though I've heard it has some amazing cleansing properties when used in unusual situations.

This is also Jonah's first winter playing in the snow. We went out and got him some proper snow pants and boots and he just loves it!



Jonah also loves to play the piano. He pulls the chair over and climbs up and turns on the keyboard. He thinks its so neat! Unfortunately, he also knows how to turn on the songs and even more unfortunately, A Whole New World happens to be the first song to come on. Jon and I have had it stuck in our heads for the last week now....uhhgg.

We love the Christmas season and are so grateful for our Savior and all He has done for us. What a wonderful time to reflect on the birth and life of Jesus Christ. We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and we wish you all a Happy New Year!
