Counting down the days till May.

ski day

James waking up

Holla! Holla!~ Last night James slept all night in his crib! This is a HUGE dealio b/c ever since we went to Oklahoma he has insisted on sleeping stretched out (sometimes horizontally) between his momma and dada. Needless to say, not many zzz's were being had at our house. I think I slept better last night than I have in years. Ahh, the little things in life.
Warning... This video is probably only entertaining to grandparents. .. and the end is for my little brother, Jake;)

Jessica Gregory Design

Yesterday James and I were invited to the Lunch Bunch (ie: group of about 30 of my mom's amigos that meet once a month to make quilts and hygiene kits for the poor while they eat yummy food).
If I do half the good these ladies do in 30 years I will consider my life a success. They are some of the most classy, serviceable, kind Christian women I know and I feel so blessed to be acquainted with these gals. They completely spoiled James with a little shower of gifts and he now has enough loot to last him until he is a toddler!

I didn't take any pictures, but here is my little man this morning with his new goods.

I am back to work doing some part time design jobs. Here is my portfolio of some of my work. If you know of anyone who is in need of a designer, please spread the word:)

Christmas in Oklahoma...

Ah, to be a kid again;
for the anticipation of Christmas morning,
the genuine surprise of each gift,
and the joyful play that proceeds.

Thanks for the nice time in Oklahoma,
Grandpa and Grandma Gregory.

We love you and we'll be back soon.

James was given a sweet blessing by his dad while we were visiting Oklahoma. His uncles Seth, Jay, Tim, and his Grandpa, Michael Gregory, participated in the blessing. His one week younger cousin, Matthew Aaron Gregory, was also blessed.

Blessed with...

Strength and Health,

To Grow Strong in the Lord,
Excel in all you do,
Feel the Spirit's Influence,

Follow Example of Family,

Know your Parent's Love you, Serve a Mission, go to School, and Marry in the Temple, Bless you with All the Lord has In Store for you.

Night at the cabin with the whole Down Fam.

Before we left for Oklahoma, we went up to the cabin with my family. I think it was the first time we were all together since last Christmas. We enjoyed some good food, cute nephews, and great scenery....
Trevor made yummy homemade pizza that was gobbled up in minutes!

Life is a bowl full of cherries.. or in this case... a chair full of sullies:)

Not sure exactly what happened in this game, but I think it ended with my dad having all the chips and Trev naked in the snow.

Jake snuggled by the fire with Lucy the dog.

I had a little cabin fever energy so John dropped me off at the bottom of the hill and had me run back to the cabin. It was a gorgeous and surprisingly warm... and it worked... I was ready to chill on the couch the rest of the day.

Finally I have a picture of Zac. That was my goal since this kid is never sitting still enough for a photo op.

Happeeeeee New Year!!!!!!
