Christmas Day 2008...

went off without a hitch!!!
jacob got up at 7:10 and waited SOOOO very patiently for jordyn to wake up (who was nestled next to mommy). he watched a few cartoons and once jordyn got up, he didn't even push then. we all brushed our teeth, then we woke up jack to go downstairs. i had the cameras ready to go when they came down. of course jacob was ready to "dig in" immediately. again, i tried to keep some semblence of organization going on so that i could get pictures. i succeeded a little more than last night, but it was still difficult to keep track of them. over all, i think they were SUPER excited about everything they received.
after the morning merriment was over, jordyn and i got ready and went to 10am mass. i must say that she was the hit of the church. people stopped me after mass to tell me how beautiful she was, how much they LOVED her dress and hat and they loved her adorable little faces that she was making to those around us.
after that, we decided to head over to grandma S house to visit with great grandma/pa, grandma, uncle thad, aunt christeen and bella. i was so excited to get bella her present, that i just couldn't wait until the weekend. so we played over there for a little while.
then on to home for naps. after naps, tommy, aunt terri, uncle tim, grandma H, rachel and chris came by to hang out and see the kids and what they received for Christmas. we played for a while with the kids, grabbed some Jack In The Box to eat and played some more. after the kids went to sleep the adults played pictionary (where the girls RULED)!!! jeff was on a comical role!!! i can't remember the last time i laughed that hard. my abs actually hurt today because of it.
here is the slideshow of our long, festive, day!!!
