It is that time of year and the Leonards are busy!!!! But we love it! Jack seems to really be enjoying all the holiday cheer! He loves to see anything with "Ho Ho!" on it! We are trying to teach him to say "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas"...and it comes out "Ho! Ho! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" with an emphasis on the Maaaaaay! But we will take it! The other thing that Jack seems to be obsessed with is his Elf on the Shelf. He named him Edward and he yells for Edward a lot of the day!
Thursday night was the MOMS Club Christmas dinner! It was lots of fun because most of Jack's good buddies were there! He ate several cookies and managed to get down some real food too! Friday we went to the Mable House Christmas Craft Show with Julie and Caroline. The two littles ones were too cute walking down the hall holding hands! Jack just kept reaching for Caroline. We think he likes to protect her! Aunt Anneke and Anna came to visit that day for lunch and the three little ones played very well together!
Saturday morning started out with a birthday party. It was freezing but it did not slow Jack down from jumping in the bouncy house. He LOVED it... his little hands were so red from being cold but he just ran and jumped and laughed! Last night was our annual Christmas Dinner Club! Steven and I spent a lot of the week cooking and baking to get ready! It was soooo much fun! Just such a neat experience with the little ones!
This morning was our second annual breakfast with Santa at the neighbors! All of the kids did really well and Santa was fabulous again! HOWEVER...Jack wanted nothing to do with sitting in his lap! He stopped crying and just sat there but would NOT look up at any of us! Luckily we did get a picture of the family with Santa (Thank goodness! I have to get Christmas cards out!)
It is almost nap time for the Leonards! We are worn out but very happy with our festive activities! Next weekend Grandbubba and Aunt Denise will be here to celebrate! How fun!!!!
Happy Holiday season! Check out our new pictures!
