Christmas Eve we went to Linde's family. Heidi and her family were there along with Grandma and Grandpa Safsten and Great Grandma Bastian. We had dinner with everyone.
Read the Christmas story, and then opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa.
Samantha made sure they had a gift to bring to "Baby Jacob" for Christmas and he loved it!
Trying to get at the stuff on the table from underneath, since Mom and Dad won't let him touch it from the top.
The next day was Christmas! Jason has now entered the official world of being a dad at Christmas--putting the toy together!
Waiting for Santa...is he going to come?
He came! Christmas morning...
Opening presents...
....and he still prefers the paper!!
It was a fun morning!
Santa even visited mom and dad...don't you love how great we look!
Somehow I'm sure I'll look back on this picture in 20 years and see how good I actually looked compared to 20 years later!
After his morning nap, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Wong's house. All of Jason's brothers and sisters were there with their kids and we read the Christmas story...
Josh helping Angel Emma say her part
Everyone ready to walk to Bethlahem
One of the "Wise Women" Sarah playing her part well.
Jacob as baby Jesus...
...only able to handle the part for a short time.
We played with cousins.
Opened presents.
Still loves that paper....
We all had a very fun time!
Jacob loved everything he got at Grandma and Grandpa Wong's.
At the end of 2 full days of celebrating Christmas, our little Jacob was dead tired and spent much of Friday catching up...after all, New Year's Eve is now less than a week away!

I loved your post and all the pictures! Jacob is so cute! Isn't Christmas fun with a baby!! It only gets better and more exciting too! AML
So fun to see all of the pictures you posted! You guys look so happy. I am happy for you. :) It was nice to have a white Christmas too, even though it was hard to dig out!
Isn't Christmas so much fun with a child? I was almost giddy this year...I'm sure next year will be even better as Connor understands more and more.
It looks like you had a wonderful holiday. So many fun pictures!
Happy New Year's...almost.
Jacob you got lots of GREAT gifts!!! Very jealous! Great post! Happy New Year! :)
Now that was an action packed Christmas. I am glad you all had a great time. The Santa thing is pretty fun with kids, isn't it?
I love all the pictures, and I'm so glad Jacob got to play the part of Baby Jesus! Some of those toys were also under our tree for Eva. If I ever make it back to Utah, we'll have to arrange a play date!
How fun! Jacob did a great job playing the baby Jesus, Neal would not do it! Wow, he made out for Christmas! Good Job Jacob, looks like you had a great 1st Christmas. So much fun to see the pictures! You give me courage to post ours.
I can't believe how much loot Jacob ended up with.
I read your post about blending. I totally know what you mean. The hardest part was realizing the weekends didn't mean as much anymore because you can't sleep in!
I'm making a mental note to only purchase paper as a gift for jacob. I'm going to friends from Courtney's ward for games/foood! And not kissing anyone at midnight!
Merry Christmas! Looks like you had a fun and busy day!
Glad your Christmas so great! Next year Jacob will have graduated from paper to the boxes everything comes in!
School is good--er, kind of. Hard. But I think I am really going to like this semester, and learn a TON more than I did last..my professors are pretty legit and i've already learned a ton these past 3 days.
