Christmas Hath Gone And B-days Are A Comin'

Christmas is now over. This time last year was a down year because Fiona was in the hospital and I ended up not putting a tree up. So Jadon missed out of sorts on the holiday cheer. This year was quite different. With another year under his belt, his understanding of things have been quite dramatic.

We'll ask him "Jadon, what's Christmas?"
He'll respond "Jesus's Birthday!"
Then we'll ask "What do we do on Christmas?"
He says "Eat cake!"

That's all he has been saying. So we ended up buying him a cupcake for Christmas. I'll add that he'll also get presents too but I don't think understood that concept fully until he experienced the festivities. He kept thinking that all the wrapped presents were his.

Yesterday I told him that "Christmas is over and that in a few weeks it will be your birthday, do you know what that means?"
He responded "Presents!"

The girls had a great time opening up their presents. Actually, in typical baby fashion, they ignored the actual gift and played with the wrapping, bows, and ribbon. I think that Jadon likes their toys better then his. He keeps playing with it and tells us he loves it.

So Christmas is over but the buying isn't stopping yet. The girls' birthday is coming up in a few weeks and then Jadon's is following the next week (plus Fiona's is coming up in February). So no rest for the wallet.
