Christmas Take 1



We decided Christmas at our house would be today since we are leaving for our tour of the I-65 corridor on Monday. Jude attacked his stocking like he had been planning it for days. He found some books and his first Little People. (As in the little toys, not as in "Little People, Big World").

Jude received a wonderful book from one of Jon's co-workers and several gifts from his daycare provider, Mrs. Kim. She said Jude will be starting the preschool curriculum after Christmas break :)

From mom and dad, Jude got new pj's, a Wonder Pets book, and a huge lion that we named Barry. Barry is, of course, named after Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders. Jon is also a Barry Zito fan, and we can never name a kid Barry. I mean Barry Brasfield. No. No offense to any Barries out there. Yep, I changed the "y" to "i" and added "e-s."

Jude also received a neat-o book from Nana Lou. It is "T'was Night Before Christmas" as read by Nana Lou! Each page is a recording of the text on that page by my mom. The reading is activated by turning to that page in the book. It's mega cool, so I'm uploading a video.

Wow, what great pictures and that book is so cool. I would like to find one and do the same thing for him. What a great idea! Jude is so cute and one LOVED little boy. Merry Christmas Granjan
