December/Christmas!

December is always a busy month, filled with lots of parties, shopping, and craziness, but I love it! Here is a very long post filled with pictures!

We set up the tree and decorated it. Jace was a great helper, well not so much:)

After the tree was all decorated, Jace thought it would be a great idea to bat the balls off the tree. Good thing they are plastic!

Seeing Santa at our ward Christmas party was not so pretty.

We celebrated my cute moms b-day! Nicole made the cake, Isn't it awesome!

Grandma and the grandkids

We had alot of fun Parties we got to go to, but no pictures were taken... so onto Christmas!

On Christmas eve, we headed over to Gabes fams house for our annual party!

The kids eating the delicious meal!

That punch drink is to die for!

Don and Kristi

Opening some gifts.

Jace is still not really into opening presents, although he does love the toys that were inside of them.

Jerome and Kass fam opening there gifts.

Chris, Ash, and Taimi

Jace got more balls, you can never have too many!

All the gals

And the handsome men!

Our attempt at getting all the grandkids. At least we got them all!

After opening presents, we pulled out the good ole Wii and played Just Dance. It was a blast!

So much fun!!

Next it was time to head over to my parents house for our annual sleep over! We played a white elephant game and then went to sleep so santa could come!

We woke up in the morning to find some great stuff that Santa brought!

Jace got a B-ball hoop from Santa, he hasn't stopped playing ever since...

Bentley got a sweet new bike!

Gabe checkin out his stocking.

The Ludwig fam

We headed downstairs to open all the gifts.

I got lots of new clothes and boots that i've been wanting!

Grandma and Grandpa got Jace this cute four wheeler that he loves!

Apparently we all have the same taste, cause we all ended up with matching coats, boots, and skinny jeans!

Christmas was definately a success surrounded by the people we love! Happy Holidays!

Just a video of Jace, this boy is obsessed with his hoop! Guess it was a good purchase!(sorry sound doesn't work, not sure why...)

18 Month Jacer!

Jace is 18 months, and is becoming a little boy, and not so much a baby any more. Some days I miss him being my little baby, but then, I love the new stages and the things he's saying and doing right now. We love him so much and are so greatful to have such a sweet boy in our little family!
18 mon stats
Height: 33 1/4 in, 77th%
Weight: 23lbs12oz, 22nd%
Head: 19.5in, 98th%(guess he's got a big noggin:)

Some fun info about Jace:
-He still is obsessed with any type of ball, and plays with them all day long.
-He's really into baseball right now and uses pretty much anything that resembles a bat to hit a ball, and wants to play all day ling. He calls it "batter, batter" He constantly is handing us a pen, a lint roller, a whisk, or whatever else and wanting to play, it's hilarious. He has quite the batter stance too:)
-He talks so much, and really well. It's crazy how much he remembers and then repeats. I love that he can communicate, and is very good at telling us Yes, or No if he does or doesn't want something.
-He loves to give kisses, doesn't matter if he's clear accross the room, if you say can I have a kiss, he'll come running over and gives great sloppy wet kisses:) The other day, Gabe was leaving for work and Jace said "by daddy" and then took his binki out and went up to him and said "kiss" it was so sweet!
-Still loves his dang Binki and Blanky. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them with out causing drama would be greatly appreciated!
-Lovs to dance. Put on some up beat music, and he will boogy.
- He loves to help with the laundry. He's constantly picking up clothes and throwing them in the washer. I have to watch him though, cause he'll go grab clean clothes and put them in the clothes hamper. Such a little helper:)
-Has his dad wrapped around his finger. His new thing is to say "help" and grab your hand and take you to what he wants. Gabe can never say no, and gives him whatever he wants:) I have a hard time saying no when he asks so nicely too though.
-He can count, sort-of. He says one, two, seven, eight, and then usually seven, eight again:)
We love our little Jacer and are loving to see him grow and learn fun new things!

He loves "tatoes" tomatoes. We had a little garden in the summer, and he was in heaven.

He loves bubbles, and wants to do them all the time.

One of his many "batter, batters"

Cheeser

He loves to read books.

We went to kangaroo zoo with some friends. He was nervous at first, but then loved it.

Goin down the slide a million times.

Brushing his teeth like a good little boy:)
