Christmas (A Little Late)

Before I get started on Christmas I just had to put this picture up because this little monkey won't smile for pictures anymore. I caught this one the other day and he is soooo cute!



The weekend before Christmas Jonah and I headed over to San Diego to spend sometime with his grandma and grandpa. Of course we had to take him on a train ride! Then we got off the train and took the bus back to Oceanside. Let me tell you that took FOREVER! I think I had enough public transportation to last me another year! But the monkey was VERY happy!



When we got off the bus it was pouring and very cold so we put grandma's jacket on him. That night I headed over to my Aunt's house because my great great Uncle died and my Great grandparents were down from Fresno. It was nice to surprise them but a bummer it was under those circumstances.



The next day Jonah "helped" grandma make some Christmas cookies. When they were done he probably took one bite out of half the cookies. He wouldn't finish them, just take one bite and moved on to the next cookie! Little turkey!



On Christmas Eve it is tradition in my family to open one present before bed!



He got these cute Christmas PJ's! After he opened them we took a drive to look at Christmas lights before bed.



This is what most pictures look like these days! He is always running from the camera.



Santa told me that he really likes cupcakes so that's what he got instead of cookies at our house.



See he really liked them!



Of course like every daddy on Christmas Eve Joe had to put together toys. We both sat there and tried to make a ball in and neither of us did. On Christmas morning Joe missed the net and I picked up the ball all the way across the room and sitting down and I made it! Haha, it will NEVER happen again. I am so horrible at basketball.



Most of these were for Jonah of course! And he still had more after grandma and grandpa got here and then more at his great grandma's, my parents and his Auntie's houses! He was SOOOO spoiled!!!



Opening his stocking before breakfast. In our family we have to wait to open presents until after we eat breakfast and after the breakfast dishes are done! We like to torture the kids, lol!



He was such a butt about opening his gifts, once he opened one he just wanted to play with it. We had to try and distract him to get him to open the next one.









He loved his basketball hoop! With his size we had to get him started early!



I told my mom and grandma to get Jonah toys to keep at their houses because he has more then enough at home. My mom got him and Kayden this cute little train table to share. He has one at home and it keeps him occupied for the longest time, so it is perfect for over there.

We had a great Christmas this year and were very blessed to be able to spend time with both sides of the family! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas as well!!
