Christmas No. 3

We truly enjoyed watching Jack as he approached the Christmas tree and saw all of the presents under and around it. He quickly raced to the rocking horse and his Lightin' McQueen bike.

We had a few little presents for him to open while the adults opened their presents.

BULLDOZER!

Enjoying his Christmas Eve snack.

Horsie!

Sea World, again!

We took a day trip down to Orlando with our friends Julie and Jolene to take in the Sea World sights again, in much cooler temperatures.

Sleeping Flamingoes
LOVED this, even though it took 20 minutes to get on the ride. He even picked out which one he wanted to ride while we waited. It was a lantern fish.

While we were waiting for the seat belt check. My precious boy!

A sleeping polar bear. Jack was mesmerized by this, the bear was only about 10 feet away from us.

Guess who we saw while we were visiting the beluga whales?

Jack at Play

Jack took his truck out to the backyard while Daddy was putting the finishing touches on our new fence. He showed off his daredevil skills by jumping off of it and tumbling onto the grass.

We had a fun game of kickball.

This is right before he decides to go face first down his slide.

This was his best jump off of his truck.

Touchdown!

Halloween, finally!

Jack was a grumpy gus on Halloween and I was not able to get a good picture of him in his costume. We finally got around to it a couple of weeks later. Here he is saying, "I Thomas (the train)." So cute!

Thanksgiving Beach Visit

While waiting on the yummy Thanksgiving food to cook, we took a quick trip to the beach to see what Jack thought of the Big Blue. He quickly warmed up to the water creeping up the shore and really enjoyed his feet sinking as the tide left.

He sat down and started throwing sand on his legs.
Precious little foot print.

Loving the sun, sand, and surf!

Exploring the seaweed and seashells.

Getting used to the roar of the ocean with Daddy when we first arrived.

Auntie Karen visit

Jack and Karen trading tips on how to decoratively carve an apple.

Jack plucking the strings of the cello.

Karen sets up her music stand.

While we both thought Jack would love the sound of the cello, it proved a little bit too intense for him. He went a'runnin' down the hall away from her playing. Maybe next time he will enjoy it more.
