Merry Christmas!

Merrry Christmas! We hope all of you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. This blog is serving as a stand-in for our Christmas cards this year. When it came to Christmas, we adopted a rule of "if you don't want to do it, don't." Picking out the perfect pictures and getting everything ready to go for Christmas cards was too much for me this year, so these pictures will just have to do! Jeff also decided that he was applying that rule to putting up Christmas lights, but within a few days he changed his mind and we had lights up.


We were lucky enough to have Nike's cousin Kacie visit for about 10 days to help out with Jack while his day care was closed. Unfortunately, Jack brought a stomach bug home from day care. He was sick for almost a week (including an ER visit on Christmas Day), and Jeff and Kacie both got hit for a couple of days. We went to Winter Park with plans to ski on Christmas Eve, but since everyone was sick, James was the only one who made it to the mountain.

We didn't buy Jack many gifts for Christmas since he got so much when we were home for Thanksgiving. And with his birthday in just two months, we'll be buying him even more.

The video below is from Christmas Eve morning. Jack loves to blow bubbles, and he was on a roll.

This is the one big toy we bought Jack for Christmas. The video is blurry, but you can still see how good he is at moving. Only a week and a half later, he's moving even faster. He doesn't know how to turn though, so he can only go so far as the next piece of furniture--that'll have to be the next step he takes.
