Our first Christmas with Jaden!

Well finally what I have waited on for four years has come and gone. We had our first Christmas with our little girl! It was wonderful to finally have her here. She got to enjoy the holiday by seeing Santa Clause 4 times! The first time she did great, the second time she was a little nervous, the third time she was so not into him(thanks Sophia!), and the fourth time she was just done!

She got to have three Christmas get togethers! One at Rusty's parents, one here at home, and then one in Mississippi with my parents. It now looks like Toys R Us threw up in our living room! She got everything she could possible want plus more! I think we are going to have to buy a battery store. Not only did we have Christmas in Mississippi but we also had a shower thrown for us! Jaden got more toys and clothes! She had a great time and loved being the center of attention.

Rusty and I got a break when my parents treated us to dinner and movie. The catch was that we go alone and they keep Jaden. It was hard but I did it. Of course there were many calls to my mom checking on her. I was so ready to get back to her and of course our waiter was so slow. I don't think she even knew we were gone! She had a great time. I think she wore her Nana and Papaw out though.

We came home from Mississippi Saturday. It was a 14 hour drive and Jaden slept 13 of those hours! Of course there was no sleeping when we got home. We are now undoing all the damage that was done while we were there. I don't think her feet hit the ground much while we were there. She was a little spoiled. (thanks mom!)

Jaden is making so much progress everyday. We are so blessed with her. She talks alot, some we understand some we have no clue what she is saying! She did say "I big". She still loves to say more when she wants something. Last night she said "I love you" but I think it was a fluke!

She has seen her first snow(but she has not been out in it because she is sick) and she had her first hair cut. It wasn't much but it shaped it up.

I am so looking forward to the new year with our girl. I don't know how we will top this past one. 2009 was the best year ever because Jaden was finally placed in our arms!
