Jingle-all-the-WAY!!!

"Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way...."
If we heard that song once this Christmas, we heard it a thousand times! We learned very quickly that it was Dylan's favorite Christmas song. He showed us all of his very stylish dance moves when we sang this song, or when he heard it on the radio. No other song came close to this much excitement. This Christmas was very different than last! We had a little one that was quite the helper! He helped un-decorate the tree each and every day! He helped cook! He helped wrap and unwrap presents! We are still probably one Christmas away from truly "getting" it, but he had fun, and HO-HO did visit our house!

This is Dylan after opening his "Christmas" pj's. It happens every Christmas Eve! We also started a tradition of taking his picture with this Santa Claus. He looks so big next to him this year!
Christmas morning: Santa, or HO-HO as Dylan calls him, brought Dylan a Mickey Mouse car!
Dylan loved helping unwrap gifts. Nelli was taking it all in from outside. She came inside later for Dylan to give her a Christmas bone!
I love this feature of his car! We can help steer him along until he gets the hang of pushing and holding down the "go" button!
We headed to my parents for lunch. Dylan in his wagon from Uncle Craig, Aunt Carole, and the 3 big boys!

Pop and Mawmaw got Dylan a Dancing Mickey, but his favorite thing was his new broom! He loves to sweep!
After a nap back at home, and an outfit change, we headed to Pawpaw and Nana's for supper! He was helping Nana make chicken n' dumplings!
He got a little baby boy Cabbage Patch Doll. He likes to give him kisses and put his paci in his mouth!
He had fun with Nana and Pawpaw!
Dylan was ready for church this morning! He has on a new outfit he got for Christmas. I think he looks mighty HANDSOME!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday! As I reflect on our big Christmas day, I try to remember the reason for the holidays. It's easy to get wrapped up in all the stuff, at least it is for me! We feel blessed with all of that, but it is not what truly matters. Laughter, joy, memories, and thanking God for our blessings. Those are the things that won't break, get old, or be thrown away!
