the end of Christmas Vacation

Lots of finger foods, walks, and  family

Visiting the Barn in Coatesville

My Parents and sister help out at a barn which is being run as a nonprofit to help youth in the area. We were able to stop by two different times during our stay, which meant that Jack rode two horses. What fun!

Merry Christmas! PJs to church, stocking, and Love

Jack's gift from Mom and Dad

Woohoo! Finger foods!

Christmas Eve in PA: Family, Fondue, and TOYS!

Once again sporting his Christmas shirt, Jack is all ready to celebrate the day.

Jack was so excited when his cousins arrived.

And even better, they came bearing gifts.

Alison, Cole, and Matthew each picked out some of their favorite toys from when they were little like Jack. Jack absolutely loves these toys and plays with them every day.

That is the face of a boy in toyland.

Aunt Katie did homemade gifts this year. They were amazing!! Here are the big squishy blocks she made Jack with handles and pockets and cowboy fabric on the back. (She also made Alison the fun apron.)

Uncle John can always get a smile and laugh from Jack.
