Christmas "Morning"

We're snowed in today, Jack is napping and my work is done for now.  So I have no reason not to finally post my holiday pics (even though a nap in front of the fire sounds nice).  This year, Jack was lucky enough to have several present opening frenzies. The first was the Thursday before Christmas here in Atlanta.  We made this our own little Christmas Morning since we were going to be in San Diego for the actual holiday.  And his gifts are just too big to ship now. 

Jack got up early that day and was so excited to come downstairs.  He doesn't really get that Santa brings the gifts but he knows that they are fun to open.  So he was thrilled to see so many under the tree.  He was so cute opening his presents so patiently and was excited about everything he opened....especially anything Elmo or Buzz Lightyear!  He even watched us open our gifts with as much excitement.  What a doll he was - I was savoring the relative peace of the morning because I know in a few years it won't be that way!   His big gifts were a Pottery Barn chair with his name on it (not pictured), a basketball hoop, a mini-keyboard and a janitor set from dad...what can I say, the kid loves to clean!  He also got lots of clothes, books and toys from all of his aunts and uncles.  Everyone was so generous!

After opening presents we made a big breakfast while Jack played with all of his toys.  Then we packed up and headed for the airport and sunny San Diego!  Those pictures to come in a later post.
