It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It really is true that the Christmas season is so much more magical when seen through the eyes of a child.  Now that we have Jack it's like Christian and I are experiencing the joy and excitement all over again.  Jack's still a little young to understand what it's all about, but at 17 months he definitely enjoys all the festivities surrounding the holiday.  He knows who Baby Jesus and Santa are, he loves looking at all the lights on houses, he constantly plays all of our musical stuffed animals and he's obsessed with singing Frosty The Snowman.  Christian and I had to download the words so that we could actually sing it to him. 

I hate to admit that I went a little overboard on gifts but I just got so excited at the thought of him opening them on Christmas morning.  Well, our Christmas morning will actually be on Thursday since we're leaving for San Diego that afternoon.  But it will be just as special.  Jack's such a fun and animated little guy - I just can't wait to see him go bananas over his new toys!!  We'll be gone until next Monday so this is our last post until after Christmas.  We hope you all have a happy and blessed Christmas.  Until then, here's our holiday checklist so far...
