Christmas time means family time! Steph, her husband Ty, and my niece Bristol were in town for Christmas so we got to spend a whole week together! Bristol and Jeffrey get a long pretty well, with a few hug exchanges, but also a few stolen toys. But progress is being made!
Jeffrey at the Hughes Christmas party sat on Santa's lap! I thought he would cry, but Santa quickly gave Jeffrey some candy, and Jeffrey's look seemed to say "OK, I will sit on your lap for some candy" and he did great!
The weekend after Grant and I were done with school (hooray!) we headed up to McCall for some fun and relaxation. We were invited to my Uncle Scott's and Aunt Laurie's for dinner and we got to see baby Esa and Sarah too! It was a lot of fun to catch up.
We bundled Jeffrey to go outside and sled, but we had to take a picture of us and the big icicles first.
Classic! I love this picture! Do not worry, we did not have him go down by himself, but we had to have a candid moment. He actually did not care for sledding down the hill, so we had Grant pull Jeffrey and I around the coldesac on the sled. He was a good puller :)
Once we got home we had a lot of needed down time to play and spend time together.
Jeffrey is now scooting and starting to crawl! He finally found some presents, and this one totally says "Let me open this and no one will get hurt"
And I couldn't help myself but to post this picture! I love his little physique :) And next nap time, I will post Christmas Eve, Christmas, and time spent in McCall after Christmas!
So with the forgetful brain I have, I am shamed to say picture taking was minimal Christmas Eve, ok and Christmas but there is some evidence that we celebrated! Our first Christmas Eve celebration was with Grant's family the Sunday before. There was food, singing, dancing, and just good times! But of course we forgot our camera, ok so we forgot our WHOLE diaper bag, so we weren't able to take pictures. But Jeffrey loved singing and dancing with his cousins and refused to be baby Jesus. And on another note, my pictures uploaded backwards, so the events are backwards. :)
At my Grandparents house, the Long's, each grandchild receives a stocking, or a bag of gifts from my Grandparents. First thing that Jeffrey pulled out was Green Bay Packer pajamas AND HE WAS SO EXCITED! I have never seen him that excited! The Packers are my Grandpa's favorite team, so Jeffrey must be following suit.

Grant played his guitar with my Mom, sister Steph, and cousin Pookie. They were awesome and it was beautiful. We had a delicious dinner and good times with my relatives.
For lunch Christmas Eve we went to my Nana and Grandad's house. Lunch was scrumptious and it was nice to visit with them. It was only my immediate family and my grandparents so it was very relaxed, which was awesome. Here is my sisters Hailey and Annie, who adore Jeffrey. They have a lot of fun together.
