Christmas with the Nash Clan

The day after Christmas we hopped in the car and drove to Tyler to see your Nana and Poppa, Uncle John and Aunt Amy, and your cousins Reagan and Ryan. Everyone had a lot of fun. Reagan, Ryan and you were all over the place and being silly. You were all interested in each other's presents and you all ended the night by having a dance off!





Hallway races!




Reagan practicing speed skating for the Winter Olympics


Organized Chaos










So this is how parents spend the holidays...


Probably Jacob's favorite Christmas present! He even squealed when he opened it.


I believe Reagan is informing him that Ryan already received that gift.




Nana testing her mad piano skills.




Jacob's first car! Thanks Amy & John!




Ryan cooking up a snack




Ryan says "WHOOP" for Christmas!


Nana and Poppa's beautiful tree


I'm still sad that I didn't receive a sword.














Saturday Night Fever?


Jacob having a bite of fudge, which probably led to....


A DANCE OFF!!!




Jacob attempts to remove his shirt, thinking it will give him an advantage in the dance off


Alas, no one can top Reagan's moves!

Christmas Eve & Day


Merry Christmas! We had some fun leading up to all the holiday excitement. You came down with the flu at the beginning of the week. You had a really high fever and had to take several doses of medicine. Thankful you were feeling better in time for Santa! On Christmas Eve you opened two presents from Mommy and me. We gave you a helicopter and pajamas (you didn't really care for the pj's but that's normal). You helped Mommy put out some chocolate chip cookies for Santa and then went to sleep. Sure enough, the next morning Santa had come and left you lots of new, fun toys! He gave you a Geo-trax airplane set, a school set, a drawing board, blocks, books and several other things. He also left you a new stuffed monkey in your stocking which you love and carry around.

The pajamas didn't go over that big, but he loved the helicopter!




Very, very excited.


So excited that he immediately moved on to his favorite b'day gift.


All ready for Santa!


Pile some more cookies on that plate buddy! Santa gets hungry!


Giving the tree a final inspection


The traditional Christmas Eve Running Over of Mommy






Santa sighting?!


"SAAAANTA! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!"




The stockings where....placed by the chimney with care.






"Jacob to base - I have a visual on the presents."




Back in my day, Little People were smaller and flushable.




Not a plane I would ever fly on, but Jacob likes it.






Yeah baby! BLOCKS!!!


Moments later, Jacob stuck it in his belly button. Glad Santa didn't bring him a real drill!


Pro-Daddy Propaganda




All of Santa's hard work on building those block cities...destroyed in seconds.








Moving on to the stockings




Jacob seemed a bit more interested with my stocking at first. I kept having to divert his attention.






"Is it time for breakfast yet Jacob? Please??"


Christmas Morning Aftermath


"I know how to escape my crib now!"


Merry Christmas!!


Shhhh...baby Jesus is sleepy
