Christmas eve Santa stopped by our house around 9:15pm. CT had already fallen asleep. I didn't know that our girls were up watching out their window in their bedroom. They ran out to the living room yelling "Santa is here!" Little J went and opened the door for Santa so he wouldn't have to come down the wood stove chimney.
Santa gave Little J his favorites, peppermint and chocolate. Little J really likes Santa.
Here's MN with 'Grandma' on Christmas night. MN is balancing her new Zhu Zhu pet on her head and entertaining Grandma.
Little J had crashed on the couch and pretty much slept through all of Christmas evening while CT, Papa and my husband played the new Nintendo Wii that my dad had bought himself for Christmas. We got Dad 'The Big Game Hunter 2010' game for the wii as a gift so the guys tried most of the night to hunt animated animals on the TV - only to be 'killed' by Cougars and Bears multiple times.
MN was excited to call up her cousins over on the other side of the mountains where they were enjoying Christmas day. Here she chatted away with her girl cousins about what they all got for Christmas.
The next day, the 26th, the kids all had fun playing with their toys over at our sis and brother in law's house. Here are Little J and his cousin of the same age. The two of them actually asked to have their picture taken by the tree. With gummy bears, chocolates and play swords and basketballs - these two didn't stand around long enough for too many other photos.
Little J also wanted a picture taken with his little girl cousin who just learned to walk. When I said " Kids, time to get ready to leave!" Little J said " Awwwwww!" He could have stayed all night I think.

I'm so glad you all were able to get together for Christmas. We had a big snow here, causing many to change their plans. Little J really likes Christmas! THanks for sharing your pictures and celebration.
All those happy smiling faces--looks like you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! Great photos, Autumn. :-)
Looks like y'all had a great Christmas together!
Little J is just one of those people who love life big time!Watching him makes me realize some are born with this zeal and zest. What a ride you are all on with him! Fun, exciting, interesting, and always a blessing, even if it does mean he is figuring out how to push all the buttons and levers to make things gooooooooooooo!
It is a blessing beyond words to share Christmas with you daughter, and your ( our) family.
