The Christmas stash

Santa has come and gone, tree is packed up & put away, decorations in storage until next year, opened boxes around the house for cats to hide in. What a special Christmas this year as a family of 4. Logan was a great helper with opening Jillian's gifts. She had no clue what she was missing. Both kids got lots of great gifts from the family. Logan got his v-reader (kid size Kindle), and lots of other great toys. Jillian got mostly clothes and a play mat that will keep her busy for months to come. Logan even got his baby sister a special gift, big stuffed reindeer.
We went to Christmas eve services at 4pm which was jammed packed with people. Afterwards we had turkey with all the fix ins.Mom was here, we opened presents and played. Santa came when we were all sleeping. Christmas day we were at my dad's. Great day, Mary and dad did a wonderful job hosting the family. Monday we went to Henderson to have Michel Christmas, Jeff was here so it was special. We stayed the night. Jillian slept in her pack n play and Logan slept with me. Note to self..sleeping with a 3 year old, don't plan on much sleep.

Jillian's 3 month pictures

Jillian is 4 months already, I can't believe how fast the time is going. It seems like I just had her. Jillian had her 4month check up and she did a super job. She is 12lbs 3oz's(10%), 24 3/4inches(34%), head is 16inches(25-50%). My little angel got shots, she did wonderful (better than mommy, I can't watch). We will start trying baby food. Jillian doesn't have MSPI anymore or if she does it doesn't bother her. Nice to be able to eat dairy again and use a regular formula as a supplement.
Here are Jillian's 3 month pictures. These are our favorites.













Logan is so excited for Christmas, he has been asking Santa for a remote control car. He is always asking is it Christmas yet? I think he may want to open presents.

Logan is now in Sunday school and was in his first Christmas program on December 11th. He didn't sing, but did stand there most of the time without looking too bored. He really enjoys going to Sunday school, one of his friends from my mom's club group is in class with him.
This year is going so fast, can't believe that the New Year is just around the corner. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
