Holiday Loot!

Slowly but surely I'm getting the remainder of the holiday posts up. Most mommy blogs I follow they didn't post many holiday pictures for the very reason that I should have accepted....time and moving into the new year...but you know that isn't Jennifer.

This year Jack asked for very little. And as expected got a whole bunch.

We filled the tupperware we carried all out loot for others with on the drive home. And needed a laundry basket for the overflow....and beyond for the over, overflow.

Jack's new puppies (to go with the water bowl that Santa got him for his black and white puppy that he already had).

An entire wardrobe.

Godfather and Godfather junior.

Daddy's wardrobe.

Mama's wardrobe.

Jack was "Born to Read"-He LOVES his books!

Nick said we needed to get some more friends to be able to use all our new Red Stick themed coasters. And we (Nick and I & Jack after coffee with Papa) need to use the caffeine tools less and the water bottle holder more this New Year.

Serious loot huh?!?

To further his brillentness (is that a word?)!

And I am typing this blog post on our new computer from Papa and Bebe!

And pictures this year and beyond will be taken with either my Cannon using my new lens (I can finally attempt some of the photography skills I learned at the workshop)-Thanks Nick and Jack for my Christmas/Birthday gift and the Olympus Sure Tough Camera from Nana and Gramps that will be carried with me at all times. It is indestructible (according to the manufacturer). This camera is supposed to hold up through 6 ft drops, the flash has a metal cover, there is no lens that comes out so damage isn't done when dropped (which is what broke our old daily camera), it can be frozen and be in hot air, plus go underwater 10 ft. -Thanks Nana and Gramps!

My first attempt with the new lens to capture Nick in focus with the rest blurred...Give me time...I promise to take one safe picture anytime we have the big camera to capture the moment but from there no dummy mode for me.

Another attempt....getting better RIGHT?!?!

Thank you everyone for the fantastic holiday gifts. They weren't needed but are much appreciated and will keep our little man entertained until he can come back to Lousiana to play!
