Christmas Haul

Merry Christmas!  I hope your celebrations were as wonderful as mine!  Its been a lovely time.



Isn't he cute?



Especially when you open him up to reveal this....
Thank you Janet!

 

My parents arrived in Armpit, Iowa safely.  Daddy sent me an email about an hour after they arrived of ESM holding her newest great grandchild.  It didn't take her long to get him in her arms!  I haven't heard from them recently so I know that they are enjoying themselves.

I picked Jakes up on Sunday afternoon and he tore into his presents.  I bought him a laser that shines red and green swirly dots all over his room that he LOVES.  "its the best present ever, mom!" he shouted.  I have plans to take him to the movies while he's with me.  He'll go back to his dad's on Friday and over the weekend, I'll take down Christmas.

After lunch today, I took Jakes over to Mam and Pop-pop's to visit for Christmas.  His father was unhappy with where the family had planned to spend Christmas Eve so Jakes wouldn't get to see his other grandparents. Since I have to work just today, he called and they were thrilled to get to spend time with Jakes.

After today, I am off work for the rest of the year!  Woo ho!  I don't have firm plans for New Years Eve yet.  Still looking around for something cheap to do.    Any suggestions?
