Christmas Cheer

It already feels like Christmas was three months ago, but I still am determined to get these pictures up here. It was a wonderful Christmas. Jack was so fun to watch throughout the whole process. He really didn't have much interest in the actual unwrapping of gifts, but certainly was super excited to have some new things to play with. I'll write more commentary as I post...

Twas the Night before Christmas and we all had matching pajamas, so we cuddled in bed, and read the official book while trying to snap some pictures. Look at Erin's beard! He shaved it off as a Christmas present to me (one of my favorite presents! )

My little Christmas Angel all wrapped up in red and green. He loves playing in our bed...rolling around in the pillows and saying he's "sleepy". Too cute.

Christmas morning...we took this picture to represent the view that Jack would see as he came down the stairs.

Here he comes! Lola looks the most surprised of all! Jack immediately saw the basketball hoop and headed straight for it!

This was the first of about 6000 baskets to date...

His other big gift....his 'tunnel' as he calls it. He has also spent hours crawling around and throwing balls in and out...

It took him a few attempts to get the hang of the whole stocking concept and that there were toys in there for him!

Showing a tiny bit of interest in opening a gift. He would pull off one strip of paper and then hop up to go make some more baskets...

Later in the day we made some Christmas cookies. It was pretty messy, but fun.

Later Jess, Sam, Grandma and Grandpa came and brought MORE presents! Here is Jack showing off some of his favorites. Elmo slippers....FUN!!

Blocks from Uncle Chris and Aunt LeighAnne. He is getting good at building towers!
And of course loves even more to knock them over!

Another favorite gift....balloons you can swing and bounce and shake...thanks Jess and Sam!

Finally, (not that all gifts are covered here...we got so much from all of our friends and relatives...thanks to EVERYONE!) here is an adorable table and computer that Grandma and Grandpa got Jack. He loves to sit at his little table and hit buttons on the computer.

After years of my mom stuffing stockings for the whole family we finally got her a stocking (actually without knowing, both Jess and Sam and Erin and I had the same idea...so she ended up with TWO stocking!)

Finally, a cute shot Jess captured of Jack peaking out of his tunnel.
