Merry Christmas!!!

This year was a special Chirstmas in the Cheshier home because of a very special little boy we were so blessed to have added to our life this year. For Christmas he received books, a whoozie toy, plus lots of pacis and teething toys in his stocking.

Making Baby Jesus a Birthday Cake

As a tradition in the Jespersen Family we always have a Red Velvet Cake for the birthday of Baby Jesus. The older cousins usually gather around and blow out the candles. This year I made the cake with the help of Reid. He really enjoyed watching and listening to the mixer. When making icing powder sugar goes everywhere, and some even landed on Reid's nose. On Christmas Eve we went to my Aunt Ragena's and Uncle Randy's house and has steaks grilled by Santa(a.k.a. Mark).

Meeting Santa with my Cousin Makenlee

Reid is amazed by all things Christmas. One of his favorite things is to stare at decorated Christmas trees. When I watch him do this it makes me smile with joy because he reminds us to stop and enjoy the holidays. We met Santa at Northpark Mall and he did a super job. He was relaxed and calm, his cousin Makenlee however was not to fond of Santa's white beard.

Meeting Santa

Reid thought Santa was pretty cool, and was fascinated by his appearence.
