Christmas

Christmas came a little early for Jack this year. His father had him this year for christmas so we just did things early. They're all made up holidays anyway, right?

It's like a magic sock thing that has candy and toys in it and it has your name on it. What's not to like?


After clothes were retrieved from their box they were briefly examined to make sure they didn't accidentally include any toys or something fun and were then promptly thrown to mommy. That sounds just about how it's supposed to go.

Books, while enjoyed on other days also get passed quickly to mommy when there are more presents to open. More presents that most likely will contain toys.

His school told us one day that we should get him some scissors. He really likes them. Actually, he really really really likes them. When he first asked it sounded quite like "I want a sister" instead of "I want a scissors." We told him that he'd have to wait for a little bit as those things take time. He didn't understand.
We have a lot of scrap paper around that he gets to cut whenever he wants. The tree got cut a few times when we first brought it home but after a few reminders that we only cut paper it lived the rest of it's life unscathed. Christmas was a great time to pull them out again and get the pesky ribbons off of the presents that surely contained toys.

He likes plugging things into the wall, especially things that light up. Another picture in this set is blurrier and darker and he looks quite devious. Good thing this one got put on here instead, huh?

The astute viewer will notice that presents progressively appear under the tree as the pictures go along. That's because this site likes to display pictures backwards and the editing area is so small that it's a large pain to try to reorganize them. That means you get to look at them backwards. Enjoy.
