Our Very Merry Christmas

Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays, but the season definitely has become more fun and exciting with a baby in the house! Christmas Eve was spent at our house where we ate dinner and opened gifts with my parents. Opening presents with Jordan was so much fun! He was so excited about every gift and would keep repeating, "ooh, ooh" whenever we would open a present. I was shocked at how interested he was in every toy he opened and would proceed to sit down and play with each toy for a good length of time before opening the next present. Here is Jordan checking out his new sled! As he has never ridden on a sled, he has no idea it's meant for the snow but he did think the sled was fun to stand on. Unfortunately almost all of our snow has melted the last couple days. But snowfalls come frequently here in West Michigan, so I'm sure we will have a chance to try out the sled soon.

Jordan was excited to play with these blocks and has already learned how to stack the blocks to make a little tower!

Jordan was so eager to play with this little phone that my parents gave him. He was frustrated that it was taking so long to open the package and kept trying to push the buttons while Luke was attempting to get it out of the package.

Here is the Adirondack chair my dad made for Jordan. Isn't it beautiful? Jordan will look so cute sitting in it on the deck next summer!

For the time being we will probably keep the chair in the living room as Jordan loves to sit in it!

Jordan and Daddy in their matching Minnesota hats! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Scherkenbach!

We spent Christmas Day at my parents' house with my aunt and uncle and cousins. Although Jordan was way too little to participate in our annual Bingo game, he loved playing with all of the toys!

Jordan loves this top that was one of my toys when I was a little girl. He finally figured out how to make the top spin!

Jordan, you sure have made this a very merry Christmas!!
