Holidays

Through the holidays I really didn't have a chance to blog. Jon David's naps are getting shorter and I workout during his naps. Then the following picture was for Jonathan's parents for Thanksgiving and I loved it too much to post it too early and ruin their surprise!
Through the holidays Jon David turned 18 months. He is doing the funniest things
He loves to tell our dogs no when they bark. He runs to the stair every night when I ask if he's ready for bath. He can throw diapers away and put bottles in the sink. I think he may be tidy like his mommy.

We had a great low key Thanksgiving. We went to Jonathan's Aunt Judy's house. It was a beautiful day. We ate a great lunch and then stayed outside all afternoon.

This is what Jon David did for HOURS!!!

On Christmas Eve we went to Mom and Dad's early to have Christmas with them and the grandbabies. Then Jon David got a nap. We went to Dad's sisters' and then back to Mom and Dad's for mom's family get together. I LOVE Christmas. Not really the gifts but spending time with family!

Jon David did NOT love Christmas. He pitched a fit everywhere we went and wanted no part of opening gifts. Maybe next year.

I did at least get a good family picture and Jonathan smiled!!!

It took Jon David about 15 min to react to his presents Christmas morning. The hits were the slide, the tractor, and the Yo Gabba Gabba boombox.

An example of Jon David's love of Christmas.

After we opened presents Christmas morning we went to Wendi's to open gifts with Jonathan's family. I LOVE Christmas Day with them. We open gifts and then just have a lazy day playing games, eating, and laying around. It is perfect!!!

Jonathan was off a lot through Christmas and we LOVED it. A few days after Jonathan's parents left we went to their house in Alabama. We celebrated New Year's Eve with his extended family playing BINGO and then New Years Day his Nana cooked lunch (which was amazing) and his brother and his family came over to spend the afternoon. It was such a sweet time. Jonathan and I both love family so much. I hope we enstill that in Jon David!
