Merry Merry Merry Christmas!

Well this week has been a very long and eventful one for this Clegg family! It has been so much fun though! It started on Tuesday with the annual Hancock Christmas Party (Shawn's mom's extended family) and what a party it was! There were a ton of people there! I think the highlight though, was Jaden sitting on santa's lap, he was quite intrigued! Of course santa's beard went right in his mouth though...gross!


The next day was not only Christmas Ever, but a VERY exciting day for Jaden! He officially turned 6 months old and got to try baby food! We decided to give it to him before all the Christmas Eve festivities and opted to go with squash!

He seemed to like it alright! He seemed less impressed with it as time went on but nonetheless it was very exciting and fun! He is growing up so fast!


Later that night we went up to Annie and Paul's for a fun Christmas Eve Celebration! Pauls family was in town from the Netherlands, so it was quite the get together and loads of fun! The Norats are always so generous about lending out their home! Thanks guys! Every year the kids get christmas pajamas from my mom, Elizabeth had a quite tramatic experience before this and was not in the mood for pictures...so here's one of Marissa and Jaden!

This is the football that my dad brought to the hospital the night Jaden was born. At the time it was bigger than him, so i thoughy it might be fun to take a picture of him with it at 6 months to show how much he's grown!

When we got home, we got to reap the bennifits of Jaden's new baby food and lets just say that because of that he got to open the pj's mom and dad got him for Christmas!

Then it was off to bed for the little one on his first Christmas!


The next morning it was time for more presents! Jaden LOVED his new saucer...especially everything on it that he could eat!

Then it was off to Grandmas and Grandpa Clegg's for Christmas Dinner and yep, you guessed it, more presents! Jaden loves wrapping paper!

What a great week! What a great Christmas! We are so very blessed this year! It was so much fun to have Jaden experience his first Christmas! He was spoiled rotten as usual and loved every minute of it! We are so grateful for the holiday season and all that it represents! For our family and friends, for our health and all the many things we are blessed with every day! We hope you all had an amazing Christmas and took a moment to realize just how lucky you are too! Merry Christmas!
