Christmas Recap

So, this is a little late, but I've got to get it on here.
We had a great Christmas! It was Jacob's first, but it was funny that he was so old for his first Christmas. We put up the tree one day while he was napping, and when he woke up it was a huge surprise! It was so funny to watch his expression. 

The older 2 had a Christmas program that was really cute and fun to watch. We stayed for the whole thing (which was long) but it was fun to see them with their class. Of course, I had to sit on the opposite side of where they both were, so I didn't get great pictures, but oh well.


Not everyone enjoyed staying the whole time at the program! :)

We also made "gingerbread" houses, but used graham crackers. I didn't get a lot of pictures, but this is always a hit with the family!

And we had a few visits with Santa. Jacob sat on his lap, but reached for us the whole time. Hey, at least he didn't scream, right??



We went down to Riverwoods one night with Matt's brother and his family. It was fun to see all the pretty lights! But, we went on a night where they weren't doing any of their fun activities, so we just walked around. Next year we will have to time it better.


We also rode the train up to Temple Square with the cousins. The kids had a blast! The train was a lot of fun, and Lyndsay brought cards so the kids played games on the way up.

Jacob was hilarious, he just stared out the window oohing and ahhing.




It was so pretty but it was soo cold! It was a great way to remember the true meaning of Christmas.


We did a lot of sledding over break, too. One day we all went and I took Jacob with the kids. He rode down a few times, and loved it! He kept sliding himself down the hill, it was sooo funny. I wish I had a video of it.


This is Matt carrying Jacob in the sled back up the hill.

It was a great way to spend winter, before Christmas!

I LOVE that Jacob would sit on Santa's lap without fussing, but would reach for you the whole time. Cracked me up. He's happy, but obviously wants to get down. HA!

You had lots of fun things going on!
