Santa Claus is Coming to Town

On Saturday we went to a family Christmas party and Santa came to visit.

Jordan did pretty well on Santa's lap, until he turned around and saw who was holding him. He didn't get too mad, but he was done. At least we got a good picture without him screaming!!
Jordan sitting with Grandma (Shanell's mom), opening his present. He loves to open presents, what kid doesn't!!

Combat Maneuvering Flight

Today we did combat maneuvering flight, which basically means fly the apache to its limits. It was awesome! Here is a picture of me doing a pitch-back turn. The picture was taken by my friend who is hovering in another apache. We are about 1000 feet off the ground.

 

Going Up...

Coming Down...

Jordan's Frist Snow Storm

Jordan and I flew home for the holidays on Thursday; we get to stay here until the beginning of January!!
Of course coming home means having snow, I am enjoying not having snow where we live!

This is while it was snowing, it snowed quite a bit. There wasn't any snow when we got here, of course it wait for us to arrive!

We went shopping and Jordan had to wear his winter coat. He didn't mind it too much, even though he couldn't move at all.

He fell asleep on the way home all bundled up. What a sweet boy!

Yeah! Hooray for Jordan!

On Thursday Jordan and I were watching a Christmas episode of Home Improvement; they were all standing in the backyard waiting for the Christmas light to be revealed. When the lights came on they all started clapping, and Jordan started clapping for the first time!!! Who says TV doesn't teach kids anything? I have been working with him on clapping for months, and he finally does it when he sees it on TV. What a silly man! Now every time we say "yeah" or clap he claps. I was so excited, I think it is so cute.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

 

I love Christmas time and all the decorations. 

Here are a few pictures of Jordan posing by the Christmas tree.

 

 

I love our Christmas village, sometimes I wish we could keep it up all year!!

 

Our Christmas tree. 

Notice how its not decorated at the bottom, that would be due to our littest one!
