merry christmas...sort of

i was so excited for christmas this year because jack is finally old enough to get it. i could not sleep at all the night before and had all these christmassy expectations, and then my kid was sick. he got the stomach flu and was miserable all day. we still did christmas with all of our families and had a good time but it was pretty stressful trying to help him feel better. needless, to say, i did not get one picture christmas day of him with his presents because he was not happy. so this is a shot of the day after, with his new chair and basketball hoop, which he LOVES!!! he goes around yelling all the time "hoot, hoot!" (shoot) and then yells "made it" when he makes it in the hoop. it's stinking cute. and he is good. shawn and i didn't really get anything because our present is a trip to cali to see our good friends alden and emily, WITHOUT jack. we'll miss him, but we're so excited. we leave tomorrow so it's like christmas eve all over again.

Wow, what is it with the flu this year? My sister was in Utah for Christmas and her kids both got really sick too. Hope everything is better.

I'm sorry to hear that Jack was so sick on Christmas! That is terrible.

I hope you and Shawn had fun in California! I'll be excited to hear about it.
