We had a great Christmas. Toys! Toys! And more Toys! I think we need an extra bedroom just to put all of the new toys Jack got for Christmas. He was such a good boy. I think we did Christmas for 4 days. We are all worn out. Glad Jeremy has Monday off so we can rest up.
Friday, Lunch
We went to my Grandmothers on Friday to see my cousin Stephanie and her family. They live in Virginia and were starting the trip back home after lunch. My Grandmother had fixed lunch for us, and she kept insisting that I get a plate of food for Jack. I kept telling her that he can’t eat that food. The only thing he eats is very thin pureed baby food. Well, a couple of minutes later she comes in the dining room with a plate of mashed potatoes, a stewed carrot and some squash. Again, I try to explain to her nicely; he can’t eat that. She insists that he have a bite of mashed potatoes, so she gets a big spoonful and feeds it to him. He makes a horrible face and starts coughing and gagging. Now, I know my grandmother has raised six kids and she was only trying to help, but sometimes Mother just knows best. Lol Anyway, it was good spending time with family.
Friday, Dinner
We had our family ‘Game Night’ on Friday night. We call it ‘Game Night’ because when my sister and I were little we would exchange the gifts we bought each other and give my Mom and Dad their gifts from us. My Mom would let us open one Christmas present from her and my Dad, which was always a game. This year Aunt Nee and Uncle Mike crashed our ‘Game Night’ and we had an awesome time. We played ‘Wits and Wagers’, ‘Zero’, and ‘Uno Robot’. Lots of fun!

Saturday, Dinner
We went back to my Grandmothers for Christmas Eve. Lots of food and fun. We played ‘Dirty Santa’. I ended up stealing the gift I brought.
Sunday, Morning
Jack woke up about 6:30 on Christmas morning. He liked unwrapping his presents, but I think Jeremy and I were more excited about it than he was. He got a walker, a little dragon that pops balls in the air, a baseball toy, a star tower, and a Memphis tiger pillow pet.
Sunday, Lunch
My parents for Christmas morning. As usual, my Mom goes way overboard with the gifts on Christmas. This year my Mom took Hadlee and Canaan to buy Christmas gifts for everyone. Hadlee didn’t quite catch on, so my Mom and Sister ended up picking out most of her gifts. They bought my Dad a tin of mixed nuts. She gave them to my Dad and he said ‘Oh Hadlee, I wonder what this could be’, she replied ‘It is peanuts, Pop.’
Sunday, Dinner
Jeremy’s parents for dinner. Toys! Toys! Toys! Where am I going to put all of this?
I think Jack had a pretty good 1st Christmas!
