Jack's First Christmas



This is a bit overdue so I apologize but I'm just now sorting through the tons of pictures from Christmas and catching up. We had such a really nice time for Jack's first Christmas. It was neat to see him have fun and we were lucky to have John's parents and my family at our house. Our first hosting of a holiday! Though I can't really say it was 100% hosting when I had my mom and mother-in-law helping with so much of the cooking and preparation. So I guess I cheated.

Jack did really well with the whole thing. And seemed much more aware of what was going on than I thought he would. He played with his new presents and enjoyed the whole process. Though we had to take a break in the middle of gift opening for a nap. It was too much to take for the little guy!

Anyways, I have tons and tons of pictures but I've narrowed it down to just "tons" of pictures. Thought the easiest thing to do would just be to post them. So enjoy!

Breakfast before presents. Champagne to celebrate Jack's first! (He did not partake.)

Jack, Jan, John, and Joel sky ping with Aunt Joelle who was nice enough to make those amazing "Joel original" t-shirts. Jack was jealous.
