christmas in a nutshell

jayden met his cousins for the very first time! hopefully next time they at least ACT like they like him. just kidding. he was probably pinching her butt or something like that.

jayden loved christmas morning, but i don't think as much as mommy and daddy seeing how they got up at a quarter to five and had to wake HIM up.

we suprised my family by showing up at my nephews basketball game where they played against eachother. everyone thought that we were coming two days later, but quinn sayed that he wouldn't miss that game for the world.

jayden went swimming for his first time ever and loved every minute of it. it could be because we shower with him and dunk him under the water all the time at home. he felt so comfortable in the water (except when quinn would throw him in the air) and even loved floating on his back! now i have taught enough mommy and me swimming classes to know that most babies don't like to be on their back in water. i was pretty impressed to say the least. we also got him to mimick us and blow some bubbles (after drinking a lot of that nasty water of course.) too bad our gym in louisville doesn't have a pool. we'll just have to wait until summer now.

aunt elaine got married and looked absolutely beautiful.

we finally got to meet my sister cassi's boyfriend and could just eat him up! we miss you cassi and spencer!

coco had chicken pox this christmas so karen, being the wonderful mom that she is, walked out of her bedroom with a face full of red spots to match coco's so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable at the christmas party. we decided to all do it with her and had matching spots for the party.

j-dogg made the cut for baby jesus this year!

we went on a train ride up in the mountains. notice the gorgeous scenery behind the two dodo's.

and finally, lots of this...sleeping on a plane.
