Our first Christmas with Blake was very nice. We spent the weekend prior to Christmas in Farmington with Sheldon's family, where Blake almost learned to crawl. We had a nice visit and then came home on Christmas Eve and started a new tradition. We went to a mexican food restaurant here called Gardunos. It was really fun- they had the strolling mariachis coming around singing Christmas carols and the leader of the group was a mexican Santa Claus. He stopped at every table and sang a little bit of the song before he moved on. The song....Feliz Navidad, of course. Blake really liked the music and also the mexican Santa. It was really fun and we have decided to make that our new thing on Christmas Eve.
And while we were at dinner, Santa visited our house and left Blake a couple gifts. Yes, we like to invite Santa to come over on Christmas Eve to free him up a little for the rest of the deliveries he has to make that night. Anyway, Blake got a jack-in-the-box, which he really likes but gets pretty upset that the clown doesn't actually come all the way out of the box. I guess we'll save that toy for a little while. He also got a little phone that plays music. We had asked people to buy him books in lieu of toys and boy, oh boy, did he get the books. I counted 30 books! I'm glad though. I think we have almost been through them all already.
We went to my mom's house for Christmas dinner and had a nice time there too.
I hope you and your families and friends had a nice Christmas and I hope you have a happy and healthy new year!!

That is too funny about how Blake doesn't like that the jack doesn't come all the way out! Those things still freak me out to this day.
Jesse has a "Jack the Dog", and he jumps everytime it pops out! B
