Thanks, Aunt Karen

Speaking for Christopher:

"I would like to thank Aunt Karen, Uncle Nick, and Zooey for the wonderful presents. I really liked them a lot. I took lots and lots of pictures with my camera, and rocked the Hendrix t-shirt at day care today (I know all the other kids were jealous, but who wouldn't be?). I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

Christmas Day

Here are some photos from Christopher's Christmas Day. He woke up around 7 a.m. and we went to church. We got home around 10:30 or so and began opening presents around 11. He was hungry and tired by then. He got a Radio Flyer Horse and Wagon from Uncle Pat and Nana/Pop-Pop Marianne and Bob (respectively) and his Christmas was basically done. Uncle Pat ran him around the house for about 15 minutes and you would think Christopher had died and gone to heaven (so the saying goes). Christopher sat in the wagon for another 1o minutes or so saying "Paaa?", "Paaa?" But Uncle Pat was done playing bridled horse. He made it through 2 more presents before he began getting fussy (hungry and tired)...so I gave him some applesauce and juice to hold him over until breakfast was served. Christopher, however, decided that he liked the applesauce but that I could take the juice and shove it as he threw his cup from his high chair to the floor. At that point, I figured I'd lay him down for a nap. 5 hours later, he woke up and was ready to go. All-in-all, a good Christmas for the boy....he got some cool stuff, which he got to play with for a bit, then got tons of sleep. I can honestly say that I was a bit jealous at that!

(Good picture of Uncle Pat and Christopher until Rosie decided that Christopher needed some attention...totally destroyed the photo-op.)
