Holly and Jolly in Retrospect

Well, I guess I failed my own blog-everyday-for-30-days challenge. But it was Christmas and we were spending time with family and friends so I'm giving myself some grace :)

We had a great time going back to Seattle for Christmas this year. One of the big highlights was celebrating Christmas with our (almost) 11-month nephew, Jackson. He received at least half of the presents under the tree, but all he really wanted was wrapping paper and Grandma and Grandpa's remote control. The poor guy was working through a horrible cold, but he was still as sweet as ever. Here are some pics:

The paper was the main event for him.

Jackson with Santa's big gift... who doesn't want a dino rocker??

After he opened his gazillion presents...

And to think... next year he'll have a little cousin to play with!
