"Graham Cracker Soup"

Tonight Jason was on the computer and heard Jordan doing something in the kitchen. He went in to see what was going on. Upon asking Jordan what he was doing, he got a response of "I making graham cracker soup Dad" he then turned to the book on the counter as if to see what the next ingredient was to be. Jason, always the one taking pictures, grabbed the camera and took some shots of his boy making "soup".

Playing in the Snow

Jordan takes every chance he can to play outside these days. Thank goodness the weather cooperated again tonight so he could move some snow off the driveway for us. Papa Steve bought a small shovel last year and boy is it getting used this year. It is JORDAN'S!!

Finally a day outside

It has been a very long winter around our house. The snow seems to just keep coming which means that Jordan hasn't been able to get out and play in the snow much. Today was much different. Finally a day to be outside, getting him to come inside was another story!

I haven't been very good at getting pictures on here, so, here are a few of the recent photos that have been taken.

Katie & Jordan are GREAT friends. This is truly a case of "a boy and his dog"

Jason got a new flash for his camera recently and of course Jordan volunteered to be the model.

Please don't make me go inside!

WOW Christmas!

Well, we have made it through almost two weeks of Family Christmas gatherings. We started in Odebolt on the 22nd of December with the Scanlan's. Here is a photo of all of the cousin's that were at Grandma & Grandpa's. Jordan loved playing with Cousin Ben and still talks about if this car is Ben's or Jordan's and tells us lots of the things that they did together. Who knew that the 3 year olds knew what cars were theirs better than the adults that bought them.

Then to Audubon on Christmas Eve at Taylor Hill with the Levis bunch and was quickly followed by Christmas Morning at Great Grandma Nielsen's.

On Christmas Eve, Jordan was able to keep up with both Megan & Madison although it was hard sometimes to tell who was following who. All three of them knew they were the stars of the night and made sure that every adult was watching when they did cute things. Then Christmas morning, Jordan was the only kid there and again, KNEW he was the center of attention and took full advantage.

(This was Jordan's response to getting his picture taken AGAIN, at about 10:00pm on Christmas Eve.)

Saturday, December 29th was the party with Nielsen's in Waverly. As usual Jordan had a great time with Megan & Madison. Grandma had a cake and the kids helped her decorate it so that we could celebrate the birthday of Jesus.

All of these parties gave Jason lots of pictures to take and Jeni to label and try to get into some kind of order for everyone's viewing pleasure. Here are just a few of them, but to see all of them try these links:
