Our Christmas lasted for about a week this year, but that was fine with us! We had so much fun spending time with both of our families and celebrating Jacob's first Christmas.
Last week, A's parents and sister came to spend a few days with us. We had a relaxing visit, just spending time at home and I know Jacob enjoyed that. They brought Gabby with them, so Oscar was excited too! They took all three dogs for a nice walk around our neighborhood and took a really cute picture:
A's mom started a really cute Nativity for us this year. I love it and can't wait to add all the other pieces.
After their visit, we had a few days to relax at home. We didn't get a picture of all three of us in front of our tree, but I did get a good one of Jacob and his daddy.
On the 23rd, we left to spend Christmas weekend in New Albany. Jacob did really well on the trip; I was very impressed. He was so cute, all bundled up in his Santa hat!
We had Christmas eve brunch at my grandparents house and Jacob got to meet two of his cousins, Kaylie and Caroline. Caroline is only 2 months older than Jacob. We tried to get a picture of all three, but I'm not sure Jacob or Caroline were happy about the photo op.
The most exciting part of Christmas, at least for me, was waking up on Christmas morning. Not only was it Jacob's first Christmas, but it was a White Christmas! It was absolutely beautiful and a first for all three of us!
The day after Christmas, we had yet another dinner with my mom's whole family. Jacob got to meet a few more of his cousins, Marianna and Will. This photo op was quite entertaining, to say the least! They were both excited to get to hold Baby Jacob.
And on the 27th, we had the chance to see our friends, Rooster and Collins. We hadn't seen them in quite a while and were so glad they got a chance to meet Jacob too. I think he was a little tired of pictures by then, but we took some anyway.
Before heading back to Maumelle, I had one more celebration to attend, the first shower for Baby Sutton. It was really nice to see Amanda and Lauren!
I got a chance to spend some time with some New Albany friends as well. I will post those pics as soon as I get them.
Overall, our holidays this year were filled with family, friends, and wonderful memories we will cherish for years to come. We know we are very blessed. And we finally got a picture of all three of us!
