Christmas

Christmas this year lasted a few weeks for us.  We had our friends Kasey and Kelly Jenkinson and their boys Jack and Jace stay with us for a weekend and the boys opened gifts from each other and had lots of fun playing.  Then we had Christmas at our house with just us so Jerry could open his gifts from us and then we flew to Seattle to spend Christmas with Jacob's parents.  It has felt like Christmas wasn't going to end but we had fun each time celebrating it.

This is Christmas at our house.  Jerry got the play-doh set from Grandma and Grandpa Kalma 

and he loves playing with it.

We were a little nervous flying with Jerry since the last time he traveled he was just a baby so we decided to fly out of Kansas City on a nonstop flight.  Next time we won't do that.  Jerry did great.  He loved flying and was glued to the window most of the time.  The drive was the worst part.  We got up at 3am to drive to Kansas City and then the drive back just seemed longer.  

Although, we did stop and eat at the T-Rex cafe which Jerry loved, so much that he threw a fit and cried when we had to leave.  Couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that we had been traveling all day and then had to put him in a carseat for another 3 hours. 

The big gift this year was a new puppy for Gran from everyone.  It was a surprise and a great one.  She decided to name him Charlie.  He is a King Charles Cavalier.  Such a sweet dog, he won over everyones heart.  Jerry was such a good boy this year that Santa brought him just what he asked for, more trains.  We had a great time with the family and decided we need to get up there more often.
