Well, Christmas was a hit! I had so much Christmas spirit this year - wanting Jordan to experience everything in full. It is the first time in many years that I've enjoyed Christmas this much - and really remembered what it is about. Jordan makes me so sentimental - I'm just bursting at the seams with love for her - and the rest of my family too. We are so blessed, and I want to take full advantage of every moment that we have together!!
So here was our setup - after I got Jordan's play house all put together on Xmas Eve, after she went to bed.

FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA!!!!!!!
We spent Christmas Eve at BJ's mom's house - and Jordan had a big time learning how to open presents and eating TURKEY!! She LOVES turkey - and pumpkin pie. :) Grandma got her a little doll that talks, and blows raspberries! She is very intrigued by this baby, her favorite thing is to hold it by the feed and bonk it's head on her drum. :)
Even with all of the toys, playing with Grandma was the most fun of all!
She has really learned to enjoy her toys - her motor skills are improving so much! She has just figured out how to reach into a bowl to get things out! She's so cute to watch while she figures her toys out!
We had Christmas morning at our hose, and it was so much fun! I wish that I had bought her some Xmas pajamas - but I didn't, so she's just dressed in pink. Anyhow, she LOVES drums right now, and this one was a hit! Daddy was a drummer in high school, so he was showing Jordan the ropes.
This bouncey horse is a hit when you bounce it for her - she has learned to rock in it a little bit. It is bound to become more and more popular as she keeps getting older...
Jordan here, in typical baby style... surrounded by new toys, but her favorite thing is the pamphlet that came with the little horse!!
New toys are fun, but the old things still retain their popularity. We think she may have a fixation right now..... :)

Jordan still has a touch of seperation anxiety - though she typically really does enjoy her grandpa! This picture shows the typical goings on, mommy being a total goon trying to get her to smile for the camera!
It has taken a few days for her to really get the hang of the gifts that she got this year - but she is really having a good time with all of them. :) 
Most of all, we got to spend a holiday together, enjoying and loving eachother. That's what it is all about. :)

I just love all these pictures, she really is a beautiful little girl, Ashley! I'm so glad to hear she had such a great time on Christmas. I see some of the same toys Diego got! How funny she was playing wiht the binky's, since you tried SO HARD to get her to like them when she was so much smaller...will she actually take one now, or are they more just a toy?
Awww! Sounds like to all had a blast! I love her rocking horse! That is just too cute.
