Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sophie, Kage, Cooper and Jack
Barrett and Kage
Aunt Lisa reading to Jack. He got adorable new books from Nana and Boomps that he loves!

The Nativity. Jack was Baby Jesus.
He loves his new monkey jammies from Nana and Boompa. (Jack always accessorizes with a (very necessary) bib.)
Emma, Sophie, Kage, Isaac, Jack and Cooper
Rick and Mel received Snuggies (actually "Comfy's") from Barrett. Lucky dogs.
Jack and his girlfriend, Aunt Lisa
He loved on Nana bunches this trip.
Uncle Mush and Jack. (Tammy sort of too.)
This picture does not do this gift justice. Jack was THRILLED with his glove and ball from Boompa. He really did enjoy playing with it. Parker thinks it's a sign.
Darling hat from Uncle Barrett.
His first gift.
Emma got a bike from Santa.
This was at home the night before our trip to McCall. We just got home from delivering Christmas cards and treats.
The Sunday before Christmas. He's been snuggling Dad like this when he wakes up from his naps.

It's hard to believe that this was our 8th Christmas together. Once again, we had a great time. We started our Christmas by traveling 9 hours to McCall, ID. The most time Jack has spent in the car is about 3 and 1/2. He actually did relatively well. For those of you who know Jack, the car is not his favorite place, but he was a trooper for Mom and Dad's sake.

We were spoiled, as usual, in McCall. We were all showered with wonderful gifts, yummy food, and fun family. Our Christmases in McCall usually consist of some sort of outdoor play, but this year it was too cold! Jack will have to wait to experience his first snow.

The trip home was not as great as the one there. We drove from McCall to Boise the night before. Jack was not a fan of the canyon and decided to share his distaste the entire way. Then our 7-8 hour trip from Boise lasted 9 and 1/2. Poor Jack. Poor Parker and Carly. :)

But we made it! And now on with our new year: Parker graduates!, Jack will turn 1!, we'll make a big move back to Boise and to the land of nonstudent adulthood!, and who knows what else we'll have in store. Can't wait to find out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jack just gets cuter every day! Looks like such a fun Christmas. I think having kids makes Christmas fun again. Wait till next year when he is old enough to kinda understand and starts ripping through the presents :) SO FUN!

Can't wait till you guys move and are a little bit closer. I want to meet jack so bad! I am jealous that you and Kris got to get to together...so fun!
