Christmas 2008


Due to the hectic holiday season, updates to the blog have been severely lacking. Never fear. I received a new camera for Christmas and I have plenty of pictures. I may be writing about Christmas and New Years into February to post all of the great shots.

Christmas 2008 was a different experience as compared to last year, because Colin could grasp the concept of presents and new toys. The second annual "Kippmas" was held on Christmas Eve and Colin really enjoyed his new gifts. He especially loved the dog shown in the picture. It barks and pants as he pulls it around the room. Colin can even say a variation of dog consistently enough that we know what he is saying. Colin probably did not realize it at the time that Christmas was just beginning.

On Christmas morning, we went over to Dan and Alison's place to open presents with Colin's cousins. Just going over to their place is an adventure with all of the toys, so adding Christmas to the mix just elevated the excitement level. Colin really enjoys playing with his cousins. Here are the three kids will all of the gifts. Santa seems to be coming through the recession OK.

To be continued on the next blog...
