Where Are You Christmas? AT THE ATWOODS!

We are so excited about this Christmas for the following three reasons: 1. Jake gets 2 whole weeks off to spend with us!
2. Jadin has been so much fun this year. He recognizes Santa and says "hold you" whenever he sees him. He also thinks the only Christmas song is JINGLE BELLS.
3. Our Family is now complete with a little girl added to the bunch. We feel like or family is just right. We are having a blast with both our little kiddos. Christmas time is so much more fun with four of us!

Here are a few pictures of us enjoying this holiday season. Jadin & I made sugar cookies. Jadin even mixed the frosting all by himself!

We decorated our house all up. This is the first Christmas where Jake & I have not been in a tiny apartment for Christmas, so we really took advantage.

This year Jadin, Skye, and I went and watched the Christmas Electrical parade down main street. Jadin loved the fire truck the most. Skye slept through the whole thing. Afterwards, Jade got to see santa for the first time. He waited so patiently in line (it was HUGE) and when he got up to Santa, he holds his hands out and says, "Santa Clause, I hold you".
I love this time of year because Jake gets two whole weeks with no basketball or teaching at the college!!! It's just me and him and the kids. In fact, when work calls him, i warn them that these two weeks are strictly off limits to them. I am so protective of any time we get with Jake.
More pictures to come of our Christmas break. We left our camera at my parents' house so it will be a while before we'll have our pictures up. But I am excited to see what y'all did for your christmas break. love ya!

How fun. Jeff had two weeks off because of little Jaston being born and what a blessing that was. I was so glad that he was able to have Christmas off because he was scheduled to work. So I feel for ya. Tomorrow he goes back to work and real life starts :) Any tips for handling two? Your family is so sweet!
