So much to post! Lets start with Christmas, since it was a month ago.....

Well Jasons first Christmas was a success! We had such a good two days begining on christmas eve. We went to my in laws for an early dinner, and Kara got to help decorate the tree in Grandmas front yard with her cousins. And of course got olive fingers! A Gurley holiday traditon! After that we went to our anual Christmas eve party at Aunt Shirley's and Uncle Len's. In case you aren't aware, santa visits that party each year and brings presents to the kids. I think that Santa coming and bringing her a present made the whole thing click for Kara! She was in awe of him, and couldn't wait for her name to be called! She had no fear and ran up and sat on his lap! Then we went next door to Aunt Lauries house to get the kids ready for bed, and Chris gave JT his bottle. He was so sweet, its funny to see a tough guy be so sweet to a baby. At home, Kara put our reindeer dust to guide santa to our house and feed the reindeer.and we caught Jersey pretending to be a reindeer)And milk and cookies for santa. Then the kids were off to bed. Tim and I had ton's to do, including putting together toys!
When we awoke Christmas morning Santa had come! He brought Jason an exersaucer and Kara a dora kitchen. (which is what she asked santa for) Kara picked up the phone on the kitchen and said "santa, thank you for my dora kitchen!"......she made everyone breakfast that morning! Including Grandma! After three rounds of presents it was naps, and then off to Dorthy and Daves for dinner and more presents! JT got to see Chris again and we got to chill wit Adam (alah) and Traci! Then it was back home to play with new toys, but not for long, we had a date at Jen's house to see the other cousins..... Baby Anna was sleeping in her cute christmas blanket, and Jackson gave me some smiles. Then he put on his pjs and hung out with JT. We all played uno and the girls watched a movie....It was such a great day!
