Jordan's First Christmas

Jordan had a lot fun for his first Christmas - we got to spend a lot of time with family and friends. He really enjoyed opening all of his presents - though he definitely found more enjoyment in the wrapping paper and bows than in the actual presents. He had a blast playing with his dozen cousins (and even learned how to turn off a TV from his cousin Makeo!). We all found joy in a relaxing Christmas Eve at home, where the three of us spent some quality time after attending church earlier in the afternoon. We wrapped up our "Christmas week" by visiting Matt's family for a couple of days, where Jordan enjoyed the attention and being pushed around in a toy shopping cart. The pictures here give just a glimpse of the fun Jordan had with his very first Christmas.

Our busy boy!

Jordan is quite the busy boy lately learning to walk. We have quite a few bruises by the end of the day - few tears however. We've decided he's going to be our little football player. We are amazed at how fast he is growing up. He's not our little baby anymore:(

Winter Wonderland




Jordan is already beginning to experience the joys of the Christmas season. On Thursday, Dad and Mom caved in and let him have one of his Christmas presents a few weeks early - the green car in the picture with him. Just today he started using it to take steps! He really enjoys being pulled around on it as well.
Yesterday, Mom and Dad decorated the house and put up the Christmas tree (with a Jordan-proof fence!), and Jordan loves looking at the lights and pulling on the branches. Finally, today Jordan enjoyed playing in the snow for the first time today. He enjoyed being bundled up, but wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow when Dad tried feeding it to him. All in all, Jordan is really enjoying the Christmas season so far!

I Am Thankful For Family!



This past Thanksgiving weekend, Jordan was fortunate enough to be able to spend some quality time with family. On Thanksgiving Day, we went to St. Cloud to celebrate with Sally's family. Jordan had so much fun hanging out with his dozen cousins and of course with Grandpa and Grandma (not to mention Milo and Chevy!). Then, on Friday and Saturday we went to Fairmont to visit Matt's family. Jordan was spoiled by his aunts and uncles, but also really enjoyed the quality time with Grandpa and Grandma. We are truly blessed to have such amazing families!
