Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I was so excited for Christmas this year because I knew we would have so much fun with Jett! I was a little concerned that if I talked to much about Santa, he might get freaked out a little after the traumatic experience we had with visiting him a few weeks back. We did, however, make progress one day at the mall when Santa walked up to say "hello" and Jett gave him a high five. Yeah! Here is Jett the day before Christmas Eve. He spotted a brownie on the counter and wanted one, but since Tiffany always steals his food, I took him upstairs to eat it in Bobby's office.

I am all about traditions, so on Christmas Eve Jett and I had to bake cookies for Santa.
Jett watching the cookies bake in the oven....YUM!

Taking them to the fireplace for Santa (and even carrots for the reindeer)

Jett decided that he wants to munch on a carrot too!



While the cookies were baking, Jett and Tiffany played a game of chase around the island in my kitchen. Jett slipped and bumped his head, so we broke out the Boo Bunny. If you have small children and don't have a Boo Bunny, you should go get one! They are so cute.


And now, of course, Christmas morning!! We got the whole thing on video, but I am still not sure how to upload it, so here are the pictures from our house Christmas morning.
Jett got a super cute vintage Firetruck from Santa and a basketball hoop, although his favorite thing seemed to be the musical card my grandma got him that played Jingle Bells....




After presents at home, we headed to my mom's house for more gifts and lots of great food. Jett had so many great toys, clothes, and books from Gramma (was there ever any doubt?!?), but the biggest hit of all was the Thomas the Train sippy cup in his stocking. He loves that thing!



The best family picture we could get.

Gramma made sure Tiffany got treats in her stocking too!

After mom's, we headed to Bobby's parents for yet another Christmas. Bobby's parents are great and we always enjoy spending time with them too. It is always fun to watch Jett and Harmonee (that is Korean for grandma, and I have no idea how to spell it correctly) interact because he loves playing with her and she speaks only Korean to him. He understands her even though I don't, and it is neat to watch. Kind of scary that one of these days Bobby and Jett will be carrying on a conversation and I will have no idea what they are saying!

Sunday my aunt, uncle, and cousin Kevin came up from Plano, so we had a 4th Christmas with them. Here are some fun pictures from our last Christmas gathering.



Christmas is so much fun now that we have Jett, and here are two funny stories that show why we are so completely obsessed and in love with this kid. He is absolutely hilarious. Mom, Jett and I went shopping on Friday (yes, we might be nuts).I have mentioned before that we don't use a stroller because Jett likes to be carried (like I said...we are nuts). My mom can't carry him long because her back starts hurting, and since I am used to carrying him everywhere, I said "Jett, you are too heavy for Gramma to carry, so how about Mommy holds you?" I picked him up and he just looked at me for a second and said "How about Gramma holds you?!?" We laughed so hard. Later on that afternoon, Bobby met up with us at the mall and we all went together to Utica Square. As we were leaving, this was the conversation:
Bobby: Jett, what do you want for dinner?
Jett: Maggie Moos!
Bobby: You can't eat Maggie Moos for dinner. What do you want to eat?
Jett: Ice Cream!
Bobby: Jett, you can't eat ice cream for dinner. Do you want chicken, rice, etc...?
Jett: How bout a cookie?
So funny!! See why we love him so much! He is so stinkin' cute, and I don't know what we did for entertainment before we had him! I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!
