Christmas Hangover

Opening presents can be exhausting for a little boy...
Things got a little silly after a morning filled with cookie-eating and all sorts of new toys (here, Jack has wedged himself between a brick step and lawn furniture and is refusing to get up).

Visiting Family for Christmas

Here's Jack with some of his favorite people...

Ethan (cousin Jeff's son) and Special Agent Oso:
And Baby Jack 2 (cousin Jackie and Mike's son):

Christmas (Eve) Morning

We traveled to Carlisle, PA for Christmas this year, but we did take some time on Christmas Eve morning to celebrate Santa's arrival at our home. Jack opened a few presents under the tree and played happily until we hit the road (here he is with his new train set, some Hotwheels, and a cool roadmap rug from Aunt Marge).

I wish I could say the entire morning was magical, but... when we came downstairs to see what Santa had left under the tree for Jack, we walked right into a big pile of cat puke on our living room carpet. Upon seeing the puke, Jack gagged and promptly threw up on me (Patty).

Classic.

Jack Says: "All Done!"

Last week, after licking the icing off two cupcakes, Jack decided he was done with his daycare holiday party. His schoolmates quietly ate pieces of fruit and gluten-free crackers while Christmas music played in the background... but, after Jack got his sugar fix, he had no patience for merriment.
