What are the holidays without a little roughousing??



D, A, and Jadon (their choices)

This Christmas our family stayed in Georgia for the first time ever. Although we all missed visiting California, we had a great time. Jadon's aunt, uncle, and cousins came to visit for the holdiays. The boys spent time making ornaments, wrestling, and creating chaos (to be expected). :-)

On Christmas Eve, the boys left "reindeer food" (a.k.a.-pecans) and milk and cookies for Santa. In the morning, there were 3 piles of gifts at the fire place!

The pictures of Jadon and I are from a Christmas Party hosted by the Gerontology Institute (which is my graduate program).

Puzzle Mania

Jadon is currently obsessed with doing puzzles! For Christmas, he recieved two sets of puzzles. One is dinosaurs and the other is deep sea creatures. Each has 100 pieces. At first Grandpa Rob and I helped Jadon with the puzzle, but now he puts them together all by himself! (Yes, I am that annoying bragging mother!) Jadon was very excited for his puzzle mastery to be displayed for all the world to see.
