Holiday Highlights

Oh, Christmas season how I love thee. Let me count the ways..
  1. Lights, decorations, shopping, food.
  2. New baby, and an angel of a baby at that.
  3. Family in town and spending mucho time together.
  4. At least double the food and treats as normal family gatherings.
  5. Mark off work and hanging out with his favorite people.
  6. Staying up late to catch up on all the new movies.
  7. New games from Christmas to play with the fam.
  8. Hanging out in our pajamas and drinking hot chocolate with my boys.

Jackson didn't really get the whole Santa thing and he was overwhelmed with all the chaos at various family locations but once we got home in a normal routine he enjoyed his toys.

Impromptu playing outside with dad.
Charlie's first Christmas Eve. Excuse the old man sweats up to his chest, it was his mom's fault.
Jackson did muster a few smiles amidst the commotion.

...and the fam. Jackson looks like the eggnog hit him hard and fast.
