All things Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas. It is always a little tricky to work out how to spend time with both of our families. It somehow always works out. Jude was completely spoiled by his Grandparents. He is a lucky little boy. Santa gave him quiet the haul too. It was an amazing and beautiful white Christmas. 

Jude loves to mess with Daddy! No relaxing going on in out house. 

These baby blues are worth note. They melt my heart time and time again. 

LOVES Daddy

The Fall. A week before Christmas we were at the little park by our house and Jude was backing up and tripped over the park border and down about a 3 foot drop straight on his head onto cement. This is the battle wound he was left with. I called Daddy bawling and scared him so bad he came home from work and snuggled Jude. (and they both passed out) Rough day. 

Snow is here! We loaded up the sledding and boarding gear and headed up the canyon. 

Hard to tell in this pic but Jude is standing on Daddy's snowboard. Minutes later Jude got white washed.

He forgave Daddy and tried it a few more times with much more success. 

It wasn't all fun. When he was done. He was done.

This is the closest Jude got to Santa this year. Still a little freaked out. 

Zoo lights with The Murdocks. 

The easy way to shovel. 

 We got pounded with snow on Christmas Eve. It was magical. It also gave us something to do in the morning before the festivities. 

The Duncan Family Christmas Party

Grandma Pat's Christmas Party

 This is our Christmas haul from Santa! ( I love the Christmas Story shot on the tv)

Santa even came to Sundance. I think Jude was more excited about Sundance's Christmas then his own. 

I have a picture almost exactly like this from my childhood. 

Seriously! That face! Don't worry he made a big gasp noise too. 

Sliding down his slide on his boat.Then couldn't get up cause Nemo was on. 

Went sledding at Grandma Pat's and he loves to be pulled in the sled but then just wants to swing. 

Checking out the Christmas goods.

Loved this bubble bath penguin he scored from Nyla. He even had to take it to bed, 

Kissing his penguin goodnight. 

My boys and their trains! NERDS. :)

Made a new toy room. 

The penguin fell in the tub and we made use of the spilled bubbles. There wasn't that much water in the tub. This is like a foot of bubbles. 

He knows he's a total stud

I wanted to document how Jude calls his suspenders his seat belt.
