We celebrated Christmas with my Mom, stepfather, and brother this weekend. It was a nice, relaxing visit, even considering that our cable was out – NO FOOTBALL!
We ate well, watched a few movies, and spent time chasing after Jack, who has recently decided that he is entering the “Twos” and is really enjoying exerting his independence - “Jack, DO IT!” – and screaming when he does not achieve his desired end result. Jack loved all of his new playthings including an easel, electric toothbrush, stuffed Pluto & Tigger (see him attacking them below), cars, and more…oh, and sweet new New Balance kicks from Uncle Heath to keep him stylish.
We also took Jack to the Lincoln Park Zoo-lights for the first time which he really enjoyed. The Zoolights hold special meaning for Scott and I, as we visited them the night that Scott proposed…Notice in the pics how bundled up Jack is – this is because again, my independent 2 year old REFUSES to wear gloves, so we have to keep him “cozy” in a blanket for him to shove his hands.
I am thinking that this will be a “cozy” winter for him inside if he decides to keep this up! Or…there is always duct tape?

Thanks to Mom, Dale and Heath – we had a great time and all enjoyed our fun gifts!
