Tis The Season!

I have always loved the Christmas season and this year is no exception! In fact, I am loving it more than ever this year! I contribute that, to the joys of having children!! Jaden is SO excited for Christmas this year! He is starting to understand everything and thinks that every night he can hear Santa coming to his house! :)
He knows that Santa comes down the chimney, comes when he is sleeping, leaves presents and fills his stocking! He has sat on Santa's lap twice this year (I would have pictures but I refused to pay 25 bucks for them) without being scared at all and actually had a conversation with him, telling him just what he wants for Christmas!
I have also been trying to explain to him the TRUE meaning of Christmas and Jesus's birth, but he prefers to discuss Santa....we're working on it!

With having Ella, we have not been out and about as much as usual, but here are some pictures of what we have been up to!

This year we got a real tree again, I love real trees, here is Jaden and Daddy decorating the tree..

and Jaden hugging the tree....


before we got the tree Jaden said he wanted Santa to bring him one for Christmas, but now that we have one, he has decided that a guitar is his present of choice...

Ella prefers to contribute the festivities in the following ways....

Isn't she cute! We sure love her! She had her 2 week appointment about 2 weeks ago and had already put on a full pound from her birth weight...she is getting so big!! I can't believe she is a month old today! Time goes too fast!

We also had the Buck Family Christmas Extravaganza this month and it was SO much fun! This year we had it up at my house and I am thankful for that! Having so many little ones made it quite the day! My mom has 7 grandchildren ages 4 and under...so it was a party as you can imagine!
Here is Meagan and Jaden playing in Ella's bed...

We had so much fun! We decorated Christmas Sugar cookies and made crafts and the kids had a blast just playing with each other and in the bounce house!

Every year my mom gets the kids Christmas jammies! Here is Jaden in his after the party had died down and we decided to have a movie night with mom and nana!

and here again is my sweet Ella, I'm working on getting pictures of her with her eyes open!! :)

Another thing we experienced so far this year that was not my favorite was Daddy's first business trip! Shawn headed to New York to meet everyone and work up at the G2 main office for a week....it was a very LONG week! This was the longest I have ever been without Shawn since we have been married.... Well we survived but we missed him so much we hope he doesn't have to go again for a very long time!

He did come home with some great gifts though so that was fun! Here is Jaden getting ready to play "ockey" in his new Beckham jersey!

We Cleggs are a BYU loving family! This past weekend Shawn's parents and our niece Hayley came up to watch the bowl game with us! Being away from family in this holiday season has really made us appreciate the time that we have with them! We are so blessed to have such caring and loving families and are truly cherishing the times that we get to spend with them! Oh and nicely done Cougars!

Well, I think that just about sums up the last few weeks with us...I will try to get more consistent in my blogging, but we are still adjusting a bit to the chaos we call our lives! We hope all of you are well and enjoying the holiday season with your loved ones too! Merry Christmas!
