While Justin and i were getting the house ready for the holidays, Jordyn was anxiously awaiting the festivities at Grandma and Grandpa Bears house. To her, the hours were dragging by, and she kept asking, "when are we going up to Grandma and Grandpas house?"...which was always followed by a long sigh after my answer :) To help the time go by faster, she decided to read a bunch of her Christmas books. She has become quite the avid reader, though she struggles with some words now and again, she insists on reading the more difficult books and loves reading herself to sleep too.
Finally, the moment had arrived...it was time to go to Grandma and Grandpas! Grandma always saves a few of these little crocheted ornaments for Jordyn to help her put on the tree.
Once the decorating was done, it was time to check on dinner...we had a delicious feast of pork tenderloins, wild rice with cranberries, baked cauliflower and a spinach salad. YUM!
Jordyn tried to be sooooo patient during dinner, but all she could think about were those presents in the living room. The tags were written in cursive, so she couldnt tell whos was whos and it was driving her crazy!
But now it was PRESENT TIME!!! She got a lot of cool gifts from Grandma and Grandpa...this money ball puzzle that you have to put quarters in to play, and if you solve it you get all the coins inside. Needless to say it got filled with a lot of coins, but hasnt been emptied yet! Then she opened this gorgeous new winter coat...she was excited to have a new jacket...but nothing compared to her next gift....
Thats right...her very own computer!!!
We had a wonderful evening...but it was time to get home! Santa would be by any minute and we still needed to set out his cookies and Jordyn needed to change into her new Christmas pjs from Grandma Barbara. Once we were all settled in, it was time for our tradition of reading The Night Before Christmas, however, this year, Jordyn read it to Daddy instead!
Then she listened to this animated Santa tell the story again, and then it was time for bed...
Sweet Dreams Peanut!
