Christmas

We had a really nice Christmas. It started early on Wednesday when Jack got to open all of the gifts we have received in the mail from Pawpaw & Grandma C, NaNa & PaPa Reist, Tata & Grandma, Uncle James & Aunt Ronna and Grandma Meribeth. Jack loved unwrapping all of the gifts. He was a little overwhelmed as there were a lot of presents. Thanks to everyone for the great toys. It will take a couple of weeks to learn them all...lots of fun stuff. And of course some really cute outfits too...and a special ornament! Jack also got to take his first ride on the electric four wheeler Mom and Dad bought for him. We headed to Michigan on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday was spent with Grandma Diane & Grandpa Jeff. We went to candlelight Christmas Eve service in the evening and exchanged our gifts after that. Jack definitely had the hang of it by then although it was way past his bedtime! He got a homemade snowman kit from Grandma that we can't wait to use later this week. We went to Christmas service on Friday and had a good old ham dinner in the afternoon. Jack really enjoyed the ham! Saturday was the Heuermann Christmas and Sunday was the Landry party. Monday involved lots of resting and naps for all as recovering was necessary from all of the fun parties! We rounded out the trip with brunch with Cheryl and Andy when they arrived in town before we left for home today (Wednesday). In the midst of it all....Jack struggled to keep his schedule and fought his naps:) and became an expert walker and now prefers it to crawling. We had a great time seeing family and friends. We have the rest of the week off...and are looking forward to getting Jack back in his routine and resting before the craziness of the new year hits next week! Here are some pics from the week. Christmas blessings to all!
