While Teri was dealing with her airline debacle and an extra day in D.C, Erin and I enjoyed a matinee showing of Breaking Dawn. We went with full intent of mocking it to no end. Only when we left the theater we found there was nothing to mock. Shockingly it was a pretty good movie.
Jack is really starting to talk, which has been fun to hear. He even says, "Aunt Kristi." Pretty sure I'm his favorite! He has turned out to be quite the helper. Santa's little elf himself. He helped Teri and me wrap presents and then put them all under the tree. Super cute. Although, I can't lie. There may in fact have been more than one time he was gently reprimanded for pulling WAY TOO MUCH tape from the dispenser.
Jason was given two nicknames this year. 1. "Swee Pea." Teri and Erin saw fit to bestow this name upon him seeing as he resembles the cute little cartoon character from Popeye the Sailor Man. I however, took a different view. 2 "Jaws." Now, I know that all babies like to put things in their mouths. But Jason takes the cake on this. He literally eats everything he can get his tiny hands on. EVERYTHING! Just like a little shark! Whenever I saw him coming I found myself humming the famous two notes that have caused fear to enter all ocean goers... "Duh Nuh." Erin continuously defended her son as innocent of all charges. Until one fateful night. The Taylors and Nelsons gathered for BBQ. All was calm. All was right. Then in one quick flash and without warning Jaws attacked. Erin didn't know what to do. Her sweater was being devoured. She looked at me, her eyes pleading for help. But it was too late. The damage had been done. All I could do was shrug my shoulders, and say, "I told you." She agreed with me after that night. Jason, cute as can be, lives up to both names. Also... Jason is a momma's boy. He cries as soon as she leaves the room. Please see documented photo below.
Dad had extensive shoulder surgery the day Teri and I, oh wait. No that's not right. The the day I arrived. Yes, that's correct. Merry Christmas! Right?! Thankfully he is doing pretty well all things considered, and he is falling in love with the new ipad 2 that Santa, aka Mom, bought for him.
As always our Christmas tree was full to the brim with presents and our stockings were stuffed to capacity. Mom did all the shopping, wrapping, cooking, decorating etc etc..... ALL for US. She always goes the extra mile and then some to make everything special. We all made out like bandits. Thank you Mom and Dad!
We all enjoyed each others company. The Nelsons beat the Taylors at charades. Paw? Crutch? What?? Just wait till next year! Jack actually caught on to the idea of opening presents this Christmas and was caught trying to sneak a peak at one of his gifts! No, no Jack! One of his favorite gifts was his remote control car and scooter. I enjoyed pushing him around the block. He cant quite do it without falling over just yet.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everyone!!!

I just have one thing to say: PAW!! Hahaha, next time bring your A game.
Seriously though, I had fun with you and can't wait to get together again. Maybe by that time Jason won't be so scary to you. (the shark analogy, not because he's a baby, although because of that too)
