 Kahula enjoying the magic of the season...safe underneath the Christmas tree  Jared hanging out, waiting for the Milan Christmas parade to start  Parade!  Marching band!  Jared and other kids cheering on the parade  Here's the coolest float in my opinion, a miniature cityscape  The penguin is actually a friend of ours, Nelson. The kids loved his costume  And here comes a Thomas look-alike  It was cute, but even Jared said "not Thomas"  But the train was pulling Santa in the back, so that was cool  Jared listening to The Wiggles on Mama's computer  Here's a few shots of us visiting Greenfield Village's Holiday Nights. As you can see, one of Santa's reindeer is gearing up for the season  And there's the big man himself  He called down the names of kids too. I snapped this shot just after Jared heard his name and went running around in excitement  Jared and Mama visiting with a civil war soldier on a cold winter's night  Jared hanging out in the ammunition tent  Now we switch to Lansing, visiting Aunt Debbie and Uncle Chuck  Jared ripping into some goodies  Woah! A Thomas lantern!  And here we see Jared abandoning all his other gifts because he liked the lantern so much  Ooo, Samantha got a board game from Jared  And Jared got a set of cookie cars to go with his Thomas train set. They are really cute with a chocolate chip car, a sugar car, a flour car, a butter car and an egg car. The box even had a recipe for cookies on it  Uncle Chuck showing Ethan how to control the RC truck we got him  Now Ethan takes the wheel  While in Lansing we visited Potter Park Zoo during their Wonderland of Lights spectacluar  Jared singing Christmas carols while waiting for Daddy to buy tickets  Check out the wolf, very cool and kinda spooky  Some of the nice light displays they had around the zoo  Cousins being goofy in the wagon  And a shot of the whole zoo-visiting clan  We made a gingerbread house this year. It was from a kit, but you had to mix the frosting and decorate it all  Look, snow on the house!  And the finished product. Gee son, that wouldn't be some gingerbread house on your lips now would it?  An action shot of the boy on some bubble wrap  Jared sitting down for a relaxing time to watch some Curious George on TV  Daddy and his boy chilling out on the couch  Here's a shot of the gingerbread house ready to display for Santa  And of course, like a really good boy, Jared left some yummy cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve  Merry Christmas!  Jared playing with his brand new toys  Which included a really neat workbench with working drill press. Now he can use tools just like Daddy  Oh yeah, we tore into the gingerbread house that day too. I can't say it was all that great, as the gingerbread was a bit stale. Oh well, it looked cool anyway  And Jared enjoying one of his gifts from Grandma and Grandpa before heading off to sleep to dream about all the wonderful gifts he received. Merry Christmas! |
