Game Night

Okay, technically, it was game day. Jase and Rob played his Handy Manny board game. I don't think either one of them read any directions, but they still had fun.

Muscle Man

Ha!Ha! Isn't he hilarious?!?! Rob stuffed his shirt with balloons giving him this very muscular look. He was strutting himself all around the house.

Shaving 101

Jase got his first shaving kit, hence his first shaving lesson. It is actually a bath set, which is so neat cause Daddy always shaves while he gives Jase his baths. Now they can shave together.

Little Drummer Boy

Christmas Morning

After weeks and weeks of Christmas specials and anticipation....Christmas finally came! Knowing Jase would be miserable opening presents with out eating breakfast and miserable eating breakfast seeing all the presents Santa left him, he got to eat his first breakfast in bed. He thought he was something else sitting in our bed with Daddy eating his bagel.

When if finally came time to go into the living room to see what Santa had left, I think he was a little overwhelmed. But it didn't take him long to figure out what to do.

He would pick out each present and we would tell him who it went to. Of course most of them where for him. He would get upset, though, that we didn't have as many presents to open, so he kept giving us his presents and saying they were for us. What a sweet boy!

After opening about 15 presents, he started to get tired. We would have to start opening the present just to get him wondering what was inside. Then he would take it and sit on the stool Rob made him and finish opening it. And he wouldn't finish until every last bit of paper was off the present. It would take him a couple minutes just to unwrap one gift.

His favorite part of the morning was when he finally got to start playing with the toys.
