Christmas

This is a little late, but I've been busy, so here's Christmas...

Jay had 3 Christmases this year. First we had Christmas with the Connellys in Utah (yeah, I still need to post about our trip to Utah), then we had Christmas in California before daddy left and then of course we had Christmas on Christmas Day with my parents. By the third Christmas Jay had figured out that Chrsitmas is a very good thing because opening presents means getting new toys! We had a very nice Christmas with my family. Cory drove up from LA to spend the weekend with us so it was the origional 4 plus Jay. It's been a long time since it's been just us. I loved spending time with Cory, and Jay especially enjoyed playing with his Uncle.

We always spend Christmas day with grandma and our cousins here in town and this year all my 3 beautiful cousins were here: Amy, Kristin and Lizzie. Amy's husband Matt couldn't make it because he was working, so strangely enough we really had only the origional family together. It was a blast spending time with my cousins. I love those girls so much. They really are the sweetest, kindest, smartest, best cousins a girl could have. They really feel more like sisters than cousins. I'm so excited that Amy is pregnant!!! She is going to make the best mom ever. I loved seeing my Unlce Jeff, Aunt Carol and Grandma too. They are so generous. I can't believe what a kind and loving family I have. We spent Christmas Eve together at Jeff and Carol's house. We had a great dinner complete with ham and mashed potatoes. Yum! That night we read the Christmas story while we sipped on hot cocoa. It was a very peaceful night. The next morning we woke up, not so bright and early but early enough and Santa had come! Here's a recap of Christmas Day:

Jay's cool new toy from Cory: a band in a box. Cory says he got it for Jay because 1. it's educational, 2. Jay will be able to enjoy it for a long time , and 3. it will really get annoying for mommy. Thanks Cory!

Jay recieved some new cars in his stocking. Mater is his favorite!
