Well, we had some very unfortunate news on Sunday. Shannon's great grandma, "Mammaw", passed away at the age of 96 years young. We went to visit her back in September and Jaden and I had the pleasure of meeting her. It's a tremendous loss for the family, but from everything that I have heard about her, she lived a long and fruitful life. She was dearly loved and will be missed. However, by passing on Sunday, we truly believe that she was able to be with Jaden on his first Christmas and I am certain she will be watching over him for a long time to come. We know you are in a better place and you will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
We got this gift from Jaden. He fingerpainted the wrapping paper at school. The card reads as follows: "This is a very special gift, that you can never see. The reason that it is so special is that it is for you from me! Never ever open it, just keep the ribbon tied. Hold it close to YOUR heart, it's filled with love inside! Love, Jaden"
Jaden's new Radio Flyer wagon from Grandpa Shaun and Grandma Laurie Jo! THANKS!
Daddy got a piece of coal in his stocking. Mommy says it is a "good luck" piece of coal, but I beg to differ. Did I mention, it is a piece of COAL??
Yes, he is a stone's throw away from hundreds of dollars worth of toys, yet he goes to play with the box. Yeah, that makes sense.
Jaden started waving bye this weekend, and also saying "mama". Big, big weekend in the JDab household!
Three Raiderfans and one Colts fan. A Raiders uniform for Jaden from Grandpa Tom! YES!
Getting ready to open some more gifts.

More presents........
Who says Shannon can't cook? Look at this layout!
And we thought we didn't have enough gifts for everyone. WOW!
Gifts from the Cassuto family in Colorado who couldn't be with us this year. There also may have been a Denver Broncos outfit sent for Jaden, but I'm not sure if that picture will make the cut. Raiderfans don't care too much for Broncofans. ;-)
Mommy and the little Guy opening presents.
I knew Jaden didn't like socks, but I had no idea he didn't like pants!
