Christmas Day

Jude peed through his cute Christmas pj's sometime over the night, and whenever that happens, I know he's going to end up in bed with us. He gets super mad when he has to scream and holler in the middle of the night to have me come take him out of his wet jammies, get him cleaned up, put on a new diaper and pj's, and then try to get him back to sleep - yea right. He always throws a fit and wanders into our bedroom to sleep with us. So, that's what happened Christmas Eve, and we all woke up snuggled in our bed....I didn't mind that! But, Jude was a fussy pants. He was screaming and holllering all the way down the stairs....and then when he saw all his toys, he gave the slightest little smile, looked at us as if to say, "Is this all MINE??!!!" and then was off exploring his new toys.

I am telling you, this kid is a basketball star. He got it in his first try!

Next we headed over to Kitty's to visit with my family. Jude settled right in, playing with all of Waller's baby toys. Then we had a yummy brunch.

Really, how fun is this?!

After spending most of the morning like this....

we showed up to the Gardners' like this....

And woke up to this...

He loved this - unfortunately, he broke off one of the side drums within an hours -- this kid is crazy! No worries, Momma D promptly ordered him a replacement. He was jamming with his drums. I made sure to thank them for this very quiet, calming toy (kidding, we love our jam sessions at home).
