Getting Ready for Christmas...

We had a lot of fun decorating for Christmas this year. Jack loved the tree, decorating it with ornaments, and getting ready for Santa!

Off to get our tree...

Jack loved helping with tree decorating!

Every little elf needs to take a break to sing and dance to Jingle Bells.

Finished product!

Yay, it's Christmas!

More with Grandma and Grandpa

Here are some more pictures from our fun weekend with Grandma, Grandpa, and Meemaw...

Jack was so excited when they arrived!

Time for some dancing!

We went to the Arboretum to see the Chihuly exhibit and let Jack do all the Christmas activities.

He's off and running!

And then he decided to show off some of his best dance moves.'/

Peek a boo!

We had a wonderful lunch while we waited for Santa to arrive.

Jack loved watching the reindeer.

We went to see Santa twice.  He was not too sure about him the first time...

But we went back later with some smiles.

"Santa, I want train tracks, a robot backpack, trucks, Toy Story, and a castle..."

For one of our Advent activities we made reindeer cookies.

"See Meemaw, do it like this."

Fireman Jack

Grandma, Grandpa, and Meemaw came to visit a few weeks ago, and we had a great visit. Roger's cousin, Bill, works at a fire station near our house, and he invited us to bring Jack so he could get a close up look at the fire truck. He loved it!

Jack wasn't so sure about that big truck until he saw Daddy sit up in the seat.

Sitting in the back with Grandma...

We even got to go for a ride around the block, complete with horn and sirens!

Trying out the water hose...

All that work can make a little firefighter hungry!

Mark got to try on a full fireman suit.

Jack had a great time with "Fireman Bill!"
