LePla's & Helgerson's at Christmas...what a wonderful time this year!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year w/ our new baby! We were with both of our families & loved every minute. Jordan received so many gifts from family & Santa. She was a very good girl in the 2 months she has been here. Haha.

We spent Christmas Eve as usual....Jammies & Santa at Nate's Grandma Sander's house. Santa comes to visit & brings everyone pajamas to wear that night. It's so fun & who doesn't love new p.j.'s?! Jordan was very cozy w/ Santa (my brother-in-law, Brock)....so cozy she almost took his beard off. After Grandma Sander's house we head over to my parents house. We have a delicious dinner, open gifts & watch It's a Wonderful Life together. Jordan received her first tackle box, first Disney snowglobe & so much more from Grammie, Papa & Aunt Aimee ;-)

Christmas morning we open gifts at Nate's parents house. Again, Jordan received so many great gifts....Elf on a Shelf book (a new tradition we are going to start next year), clothes, & toys. Nate was busy opening gifts for Jordan, me & himself. Jordan was sleeping the entire time! After we are done at Nate's parents house we head over to his Grandma Sander's. We open gifts w/ his entire extended family. There are so many gifts it takes almost 3 hours. Tons of fun! Jordan got lots of clothes & some really nice learning toys. She didn't get to see what she got because she slept the entire time.

Around 3:00 we arrived at my parent's house to have Christmas dinner, presents & games w/ my extended family. Jordan received clothes & books once again....she is going to be well dressed & a great reader! This Christmas was a ton of fun. It was a long 2 days, but Jordan did an amazing job w/ so many people around & all the excitement. We can't wait for next year's Christmas...lots of fun toys & she will be more into it ;-)

A little update from the previous post about Jordan's 2 month check-up...she is 12 lbs 11 oz & 23 3/4 inches long. She is very strong....holding her head up & pushing herself up when she is on her tummy. She now loves to sit up (we hold her up of course) & she thinks she is tough stuff when she stands. We are amazed at everything she does. She has started to babble & is the smiling all the time. Nate is loving that she is more interactive....he can't wait to play toys & read books to her. I however, love the cuddly baby time & would like her to never get bigger. Haha.

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy our pics from our 2 fun filled days ;-)
Love xoxox,
The Helgerson's
