Jase's sleeping positions
Over the last few months we had gotten to see Jase fall asleep in some interesting positions.
For instance, the morning after a Halloween party Jase could not stay awake and fell asleep while eating his pop tart and getting his diaper changed.
Then we drove back home from Michigan (overnight to miss the majority of the bigger snow storm in December) and Jase kept his head covered with his beloved blankie - hmmm maybe to keep the traffic lights out of his face, but I kept pulling it off to make sure he had fresh air to breathe. Also as a note, both kids slept the whole 7.5 hours, from 6:30p-2a - which made our trip take only 1.5 hours longer than usual ;although the following day (when we were going to leave) it would have taken us at least 4-5 hours longer because of the snow and ice.
Over the 2 weeks Jase has fallen asleep like this:
and this:
This kid really loves having his head covered up - I for one always feel like I am suffocated if I have something on my head when I try to sleep.
We don't always check on him before we go to bed, as he rarely moves around on his bed anymore. Maybe we should check on him more often...

Christmas in Michigan
We had Christmas with Heather's family in Michigan the middle of December and it sure was a busy 3 days. To start with we visited the wonderful Santa house in Midland. This Santa house is the best I've seen and each year it is a little different. In addition to the many trains, there is an airplane with an elf that blows "snow" bubbles on everyone inside. Jase still hates Santa and it takes everything we have to get him to sit next to Santa. Thankfully Meghan was content being held by the big guy...

After Santa's house we had a small Christmas with Heather's paternal grandparents. Jase really liked the village that was set up.
Over the next two days we had Christmas with Heather's parents and Heather's maternal gramma. It was a very nice couple of days and we were blessed with many gifts given and received. Some of Jase's favorites include his Shake n' Go Crash ups race car track, Imaginext T-Rex dinosaur, Thomas train track, and many other toys. Meghan got clothes, a doll, an animal farm, and some stacking and nesting cups. I got a 12c food processor, 4-slice toaster, and other kitchen and craft accessories. Joseph got tools (level, jig saw) to add to his collection. The best gift we gave as a family was to Heather's parents, a digital picture frame and photo calendar for 2008. The digital frame was preloaded with pics of the grandkids and will be perfect for the 5th wheel camping they do.

Meghan's Blessing gown
I wanted to post a couple pictures of Meghan's blessing gown. I enjoyed designing and making it, and just love the ribbon tie in the front and the three ties in the back.
Doesn't she look darling...

Meghan's baby blessing
Meghan was blessed during Sacrament meeting on December 9, surrounded by family and friends. After church all the family headed back to the Holdaway house for food and fun. This was the first time for Joseph's side of the family to meet Meghan and for most of them to see our house. We also exchanged gifts as we wouldn't be seeing them again before Christmas.
As you can tell, our small house can hold a lot of adults (9) and kids (6)...

If only we could have gotten one with the 2 of them together, but when Meghan was happy, Jase wouldn't cooperate, and when Jase was ready, Meghan was screaming. Maybe next year...
