Jayden's First Christmas

My family was in town for Christmas and New Years and we had a great time. Going into this Christmas, I didn't think Jayden would even notice it was Christmas. I figured he was too young to enjoy it at all. But, despite only being 3 months old, he loved it. All night on Christmas Eve when we opened presents he was babbling and laughing. Huge smiles at everyone. He was looking at the wrapping paper (especially the red paper) and the Christmas lights. He is head over heals in love with his Aunts and Uncles and loved having them home all week. I feel like I can honestly say he had a great first Christmas.

Opening his first present!

It's a book! Jayden loves books!!

Happy little man.

Sign Language DVD from Aunt Katie

I put together a book of Jayden's first 3 months with Grandma and Grandpa and gave it to them for Christmas. Everyone was in tears. Sometimes it is emotional just thinking about how grateful we are to have Jayden in our lives.

I may or may not have put Jayden's sweater vest on Brinkley.

Jayden holding these drum sticks so well cracks me up because holding on to things is a new skill of his. He is so happy to be playing drums with Grandpa. He had been watching him all night.

Loving Aunt Katie.

(Yes, my hair is a mess and my shirt is inside out. That is an accurate representation of how I look these days.)

We miss everyone, but we are so thankful to have had the holidays together.
