Christmas in the Northwest

Jack loved his first ferry ride to the San Juans!! This was Christmas Day.

These two were actually taken on the ride home when he was much more sleepy.

Jack really wanted to check out the "bus."

Downtown B'ham...Brr!

Jack has been too cute telling everyone "Merry Christmas." The most impressive thing that he said though was a sentence. He was taking a bath, dropped a toy and said: "I'll get it....for you."

WOW! He has been a bundle full of energy (as usual...but it seems to be even more so) the entire time in WA. He has been a good boy despite all of Mama's running around to try and see everyone! Jack is a popular guy!

What a difference a year makes!

Counting the Days...

Decorating himself?

Jack is really in the Christmas spirit. He loves to go for walks when it gets dark to look at the neighborhood lights. Of course he is very into the concept of presents. Can't wait for our trip to WA!

Christmas Tree and Santa Run

Jack "helps" decorate his first Christmas tree. He was very excited.

Samantha and Peyton at before the Great Santa Run began. We walked.
Sam and Santa

Jack's first encounter with Santa. He would not make eye contact and wanted to get away!
We had walked around and looked at the booths before the race and were taking a rest.
