Merry Christmas!

Snowed In

Unfortunatley we had to postpone our travel plans for the holidays today due to bad weather....that darn mother nature! Although, a major bummer that we were unable to get together for a big family gathering in the Twin Cities today as planned, we could either be upset & disappointed about it all day or make the best of being snowed in....we chose the later. Jack had his first sled ride and first real exposure with playing in the snow. I think he liked the snow, but those pesky mittens got in the way of really checking it out to his liking (aka. putting it in his mouth.) We called him our little marshmellow man all bundled up in his white snowsuit (which he's...... shocker, already outgrowing!) After our little outdoor adventure, we enjoyed a fun day hanging out inside keeping warm, followed by a delicious dinner of italian take out (and delicious wine for mommy :) We wrapped up the evening with Jack's first present opening experience! He loved the wrapping paper and bows... because you know they are far more interesting than the presents them themselves, lol :)

We wish everyone safe travels (or happy snow days!) over the holidays, and hopefully better weather conditions will be upon us soon!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…….

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I have had time to update the blog, so for that I apologize. Mommy, daddy and I have been really busy since Thanksgiving, getting everything ready for Christmas. I don’t know much about this Christmas thing but I’m liking it so far, since I love all the lights and presents (this St. Nick dude came last weekend and gave me some cool stuff.) It all started the Sunday after Thanksgiving when Mommy wanted to go to a tree farm and get a tree while this funny white stuff was falling out of the sky, however, since daddy said I wouldn’t fully appreciate going out in the woods and in the interest of time, we went to the “Menards Tree Farm” instead. As I sat in the cart, Mommy and Daddy narrowed it down to two beautiful trees and I made the final decision. At the time, I still didn’t know what we were going to do with this tree. For some reason, (which I still haven’t figured out why) we put the tree on top of daddy’s truck and then brought it in our living room??? The next day we put a bunch of cool lights and decorations on it, and now I love to stare at it. However, I’m still puzzled why this tree is in our living room, so if you have any insight on this please let me know! Also, if you have never experienced Rotary Lights you must since the lights are amazing, and I got to see Santa and all his reindeer....... very cool!

I continue to get bigger each day, am talking more and am on my best behavior (like always) since I have been told this Santa guy is keeping a close eye on all the little boys and girls this time of year. Even if I don’t get anything for Christmas though, that is ok, since like Daddy says we already have enough, and there are a lot of other people out there that are not as fortunate. So me & Daddy & Mommy ask that you don’t forget about the less fortunate during the holiday season. Merry Christmas!

Love, Jack

P.S. My Christmas card should be arriving soon :)
