Christmas Day

After a very looong Christmas eve filled with a very hysterical Jacie, Christmas day finally arrived. Jacie was having a hard time adjusting to being in a house with so many people and a different time zone. We tried nursing her to sleep, holding her, letting her cry it out with Uncle Doug and Aunt Lynette, Daddy rocking, and anything else we could think of. However, it was the Tylenol and hour long drive over the snow covered hill that did it. I had to hold her and rock her in the car while she cried herself to sleep. I could not figure out what was wrong! It was a heart wrenching end to a wonderful day. When Christmas morning finally arrived, Jacie slept through the gift opening extravaganza. I refused to wake the sleeping babe!! However, when she did finally wake up, she enjoyed her fun gifts from Santa, Mom and Dad, and Nana.


She sure seemd to enjoy the opening of the stocking! In her stocking, there was a set of stacker cups, little balls of different textures, a Reese's Peanut Butter Tree, Gerber Graduates Cherry Puffs, and something else I can't recall. Nana had stockings made for all of the kids, and hung them on her chimney. It looked awesome!
These little snacks are her favorite! She loves to pick them up and gobble them, and will cry if you take the container away.
Oh yes, she got a baby orange in her stocking!! I ate that, along with her peanut butter tree for her.
See the Christmas jammies? Nice and toasty...

I hope you survived your Idaho trip. They're always kind of crazy, aren't they?

You are one busy family! Looks like you had about 5 Christmases. Nothing could be better, right? That's awesome that Jacie has so many cousins to play with. She is probably great at being the center of attention, too! We are excited to see you guys again. So sorry that we couldn't visit before your school started, but we still do have the ski trip! I just bought the boys ski outfits, now for the gloves...FYI the suits I bought for the boys were on sale and I mistakenly bought a girls outfit for Jay, but I refuse to return it because of the deal, so if you want it, you could keep it for next year (it's a bit big for Jacie). Anyway, I forgot to send the check - again! - and will do it this week. I promise!!!
