Christmas Day

Well, Christmas day we planned to spend with Mommy's family, but I ended up getting sick with the stomach flu so Daddy stayed home to take care of me while Mommy and Jay went to enjoy the festivities. Jay told me all about what I misssed though.

Papa and Jacey thought that Jay made a pretty cute Santa.

Jay got a lot of snuggle time in with everyone. . .

while he watched his cousins opening all their gifts.

Later that night, I was feeling a little better so Papa, Grammy and Aunt Missy came out to visit me and bring me my gifts.

At first all I wanted to do was snuggle.

But I couldn't resist all those nice looking gifts waiting to be tore open!

Mommy kept trying to interupt me from gift opening by taking pictures- it didn't work.

After gift opening, I, of course, had to try out some of these great presents.

I had a nice time that night and it gave me a good distraction from feeling crummy. Which was especially nice since I didn't feel so great again in the following days. I had to miss some other family Christmas parties along with Daddy and Mommy since we all got sick over the weekend. We were all bummed, but Daddy's family Christmas is coming up this weekend so we can't wait to all be healthy and enjoy the day!

Christmas Eve

We got all dressed up at our house to go to church on Christmas Eve so Mommy said we better take some pictures . . .

I think Mommy was tickling me in this picture

"Do you want to know a little Christmas secret, Jay?"

A big kiss for Daddy. I think Jay was wondering where his kiss from Mommy was.

Daddy read me and Jay a little Christmas story but I think Jay was more concerned about where his milk was. He likes to eat ALL the time!

Time for presents!

I even got to open Jay's presents this year. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get away with that next year???

Ways to Prepare for Christmas

The past few weeks we've been preparing for Christmas at our house. I bet you have too. Since it's Jay's first Christmas, I gave him some helpful hints.

First, make a visit to Santa to tell him what you'd like for Christmas.

Jay already didn't listen too well and he fell asleep on Santa's lap! Now, who knows what he'll get for Christmas!

Well, as you can see, my jammie shirt says "I love Santa" but not enough to sit on his lap. So who knows what I'll get for Christmas too!


Rest when you can. Christmas is a busy holiday.

Bake some cookies. Morgan and I weren't sure about this at first. We couldn't understand why there was all these cookies in front of us and we were just suppose to decorate them, not eat them. Jacey is pretty clever though, so she went for the sprinkles instead.

I thought this cookie looked really delicious . . .

and all of these. . .

so I ate one up!

Also, find some time to snuggle with family and watch some movies (or the Survivor finale)

Play with your cousins. . . or let your cousins play with you!

Make some Christmas cards.

Find some nice boxes to fill special presents with.

Take time to take some cute pictures.

Put on your Santa hat to decorate the tree.

Find the perfect spot for all those pretty ornaments. Remember, keep the breakable ones out of my reach.

Have Daddy help you put the star on top of the tree

Lastly and most importantly, find some time to spend with family and friends. Jay listened really well about this. He and Mommy went to visit our friend Aidan and his mommy, Roz all the way in Tomah one day! Jay told me he really likes Aidan and he can't wait till he gets bigger and can be a Star War fanatic with Aidan like their daddies.

Jay's Baptism

Last Sunday (November 30th), we celebrated Jay's baptism. We had a nice service at church, which all of us kids behaved very well for, and we had a yummy dinner of lasagna that Daddy made. Lasagna is one of my favorites!

Here is Jay with Pastor Krause, Daddy, Mommy, me and his godparents- Uncle Tanner, Aunt Johanna and Uncle Jason.

Did I mention we also had a delicous cake???

and here is the other Kenneth that Jay was named for, Grandpa Bremer (Kenneth John also). Don't they match nice!?!

Aunt Missy stayed a couple days with us after baptism. It was her first time meeting Jay. The last couple days, after Aunt Missy went back, I've been waking up in the morning asking for her. Mommy keeps reminding me that she had to go back to Mayville. Bummer! She's so much fun!
