Christmas

This is the second gift which was a marshmallow shooter.

Jace opening his Jammie's on Christmas Eve.

Well Christmas has come and gone...I find myself a little saddened that the holiday season is passing yet again and the new year is just a few short days away. As for Christmas, we had a wonderful day. First I was home from the hospital with our new addition , we were surrounded by family and of course this year Jace was super excited!!..At our house we believe Santa is a pirate because when you ask Jace want Santa says he says very loudly and proudly "Yo HO HO, Merry Christmas"! Jace has also taken a liking to the song Jingle Bells which any time we are in the car he asks to her the Jingle Bell song and states louder mom louder. I must say it melts my heart to hear Jace singing. We are trying to have traditions here at the Dunn house so this year we decided that on Christmas eve we would make a soup or chili, drive around and look at the lights and then come home and open 2 gifts before going to bed.

Jace had a lot of fun looking at lights but boy did he light up when we told him he was getting to open some presents!! The first gift were some cars Jammie's that he wanted to put on immediately before moving on to the next gift. The second gift was a marshmallow shooter that he Dan and grandpa had fun with. The especially liked torturing the dog. Then it was off to bed we read the night before Christmas and fast asleep was my not so little man.

Christmas morning was so fun!! We hid the big present in our laundry room and the first thing I do in the morning is go to the laundry room and Jace says hey a train and I was like no there is no train lets go look at the presents around the tree!! He woke up and didn't even notice all the gifts around the tree, but when we told him Santa had come he was so excited!! Jace was such a big helper when it came to opening gifts he basically opened all the presents. He was like a tornado not even caring about what he opened. The two things he played with the most after opening were the train Christmas ornament and the mater with a blue hood. He however has loved playing with all the toys that we along with Santa found him.

We are abundantly blessed and have more than we really need. We had a wonderful Christmas!! Now it is time to prepare for next year since I will have 2 children to buy for!! Just kidding now it is time to focus on being a mommy of 2 children and learning how to due the balancing act!!
