Christmas, Part 1

We decorated the tree on the evening of December 23rd,

so that the babies would not have time to destroy it before Christmas!

Nicholas likes to vacuumm when Daddy vaccuums!

They vaccuumed together to prepare for our company on Christmas Eve.

This is our tree after Santa came.

We have no fireplace, so...
our stockings are hung on the wall, with care.

The Nutcracker

Jack's preschool class put on their own special version of The Nutcracker.

Jack was a Mouse King.

Snow Babies

Nicholas likes to open the TV cabinet and squish his whole body inside of it!

First Snow: Winter 2008 - 2009

Grandma Jean and Granddad's Thanksgiving Visit

Grandma Jean and Granddad bought Jack Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D!

Ganddad colored with Jack in his giant dinosaur coloring book. Jack loves to color lately!

Playdate with "Superstar"

Jack's friend Sean came over for a playdate. This is the first time Jack had a playdate with a friend he made all by himself, rather than with a child of Mommy's friend. Jack calls Sean "Superstar" and Sean calls Jack "Super Jack."

Some Fall Favorite Photos

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Nicholas and Daniel use Teamwork on the Etch-A-Sketch!

Thanks for my rain gear, Aunt Katie!

It came in handy and I had so much fun jumping in the puddles!

With these boots, Mommy said it was OK!

Love, Jack
