Thanks, Santa!

Jack woke up at 7:40 today...his usual time.  I have a feeling his Christmas Day wake up time will become earlier through the years and then gradually become later and later (once he's a teen). I really want to have a tradition of taking a picture as my kids come down the stairs to see what Santa has brought them.  This was (obviously) the first year we could do that...Jack couldn't walk last year.

 He liked what he saw.

 Checking out his new Buzz Lightyear car. Too bad he isn't into things that move. He's scared to ride it. But we did catch him sitting on it throughout the day and one time he accidentally pushed the "GO" button.

Santa got the letter. Lots of trucks awaited Jack as he came downstairs. He added a garbage truck, two dump trucks, and a backhoe to his fleet.

The magna-doodle was also a hit. We like that he can "yellow" (color) without the mess.

We had a great Christmas, but we really missed our families! We are looking forward to Christmas' in the future - when we can celebrate with everyone and STILL be able to have our family Christmas (and our own traditions) in our new home.
