Pre-Christmas Day fun!

On December 19th we got our first new nephew!! Ryan Don Jacob was born at 9:47 weighing in at 9lbs. and 12oz. and was 20 inches long!! Mom and baby are now doing great after a few complications during delivery and are staying at J.J's parents house right now. We got to meet him on Christmas Eve:) He is sure a cutie!!

After we spent sometime over there we headed over to my parents for most the night. Our tradition is to watch the Nativity Story. Its my moms favorite and we have done it since it came out. We then do a fish pond! This is something we all look forward to and I couldn't wait to see how Kyler would react to it. I just wish I would have remembered my camera! Kyler loved throwing the bowl over the blanket and getting a toy or a treat back. My mom always goes to the dollar store and gets stuff for it so to him it was just as good as regular presents. To the rest of us however we just laugh and make fun of what we get but its so fun to see everyones reactions. After the fish pond we open a gift we opened what my Grandma Jones gave us. She gave me a bunch of stuff to decorate with and she gave J.J. some candy and money. Kyler got a new piggy bank! After a little while we got the first call from my brother Colton in Honduras:) It was so nice to hear from him. We even got to talk to his Companion and look forward to meeting him when he gets home. I can't believe in just 5 months Colton wll be home and Derek will be leaving. 2012 will be one busy year! After talking to him for awhile we went and looked at the lights and then came home. We let Kyler open one of his presents from us. He got the Lion King and some PJ's!

After Kyler went to bed we were Santa's helpers and put out what Santa left for him. I will post those pictures in the next post:)
