Christmas at Maw Maws

Maw Maw had a very special visitor! Santa!! We had so much fun with the Clark Family! It's always so fun to get together with everyone! Jude was not quite sure what to think of this Santa. His first Santa picture was good because mom was ticking him (see picture from gingerbread house) but this time he was a little confused! Haha. Especially when he say mama kissing Santa clause! :-) 

Jude and Leah had a great time playing with Jude's dollar gift from target! Ha oh the little things.. 

Using a spoon

Learning how to use a spoon is a hard task. He wants to do it all on his own but keeps dropping the food. It makes me laugh. He'll get it soon enough and be a pro in no time! 

Santa and Gingerbread Houses

Santa and Gingerbread Houses! 

We had so much fun going to the Worlds Largest Gingerbread House! We even got to see Santa!! The outside of the house was completely made out of candy. And then on the inside were smaller houses made by some students at Brazos Christian. Jude enjoyed looking at all the houses and candy. He also did pretty well with Santa. That is after I started tickling him. He wasn't too sure when I first put him in his lap but I think that would have happened no matter who I would have given him to. I then went and ticketed him and I think we got some great pictures! 

Jude's 1!!!

I can't believe my sweet boy is 1 year old! Man how this first year has flown by. I am so thankful and so blessed to be able to stay home with him. We are so thankful for a hard working dad who let's us play! We have filled our days with friends, errands and cleaning. Jude has even started pulling his weight around here by helping pick up his toys. He also is helping clear out the fridge and 'pantry'. Yes pantry is in quotes because we technically do not have one. He loves to eat! 

His birthday party was so special to me. We had several family members make the trip to Bryan and some friends from church came too. It was a beautiful day and we got to hang out outside the majority of the party. We ate cake and opened presents out there too. 

Jude has began to call asleep on his own and sleep all night!! Naps are much easier and longer. I lay him down when he is still awake say goodnight and I love you. He has to move around a little to get comfy but then he is out. I'm so proud of him. He's just growing up! 

Oh what fun he is and will continue to be! Two... Here we come!
