Jack's First Christmas

Well, Jack's first Christmas has come and gone. He had a great day. Even though I know he had no idea what was going on, he seemed to have fun. He helped his dad open all the presents. He was completely fascinated with the sound of the wrapping paper, and of course he shared all his toys with Sadie. Sadie got 2 new rope toys, one with a tennis ball attached, she also had a great Christmas. We will be celebrating our big family Christmas in Feb or March when we get back to the states.

Jack has a habit of waking up in the morning with a HUGE smile on his face. All you have to do is say "good morning" and he lights up. I thought I would video this and share. It really is the best way to start a day. He has the best smile!



We hope you all had a great Christmas and we wish you all the best in 2008. Tom, Jack and I will be hanging out at home for New Year's. Germany celebrates New Year's Eve like we celebrate the 4th of July. People over here set off fireworks in their back yards that are definitely illegal in the states. I just went to our local grocery store, that's right....grocery store, to buy our fireworks this year. Hahahahaha. I spent 15 euro on this pack of 10 rockets. They're about 4 feet long attached to a huge wooden stake to plant in your yard. It's like an ultimate bottle rocket. We're very excited! :-) So wish us luck that we don't send one through our neighbors window or one of our cars. It should be great!!!

Have a great 2008!!!
