Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Hello everyone!! Jack here-- and let me tell you, this has been an exciting few days! I had my second RSV shot on Thursday, and got checked out. The shot hurt, but I took it really well-- only cried just a little, really... and don't tell Mommy or Daddy, but it was mostly for sympathy. Nothing gets you snuggles like them feeling sorry for you!! I also had to get blood taken, but I couldn't even pretend that one hurt. Daddy says that got me one more ice cream coupon for when I'm bigger. He told me that when I'm big, I'll have so many coupons saved up I'll be able to have ice cream every day for a year if I want. Now, I don't know about this ice cream stuff, but if it's half as good as they say, I'm all for it. On Friday, Daddy came home early from work, and mom's been making the house smell really good. She says she's been in a baking frenzy, and that I'll be thankful for it when I'm older and have teeth. We'll see! Saturday brought more baking, and last minute shopping for Mommy. She went out for awhile, and came back quite jolly. She said there was liquid jolliness flowing at the mall, so I guess she must've gone swimming in it. Either way, it was quite a fun night! I got to see A Christmas Story-- and please, please, please... nobody get me a pink bunny suit... Mommy said if I had one she'd want to see me in it, so.. let's just work together and not do that to me, ok?
Sunday was great... Gramma Terry came down and held me for a really really long time. It was really nice. :) She got me some warm clothes so I'll be nice and toasty. Mom and Dad snuggled in, and we all had a really good day. Then Monday we got stuff in our stockings (Mom wanted to let me sleep in mine!), and opened stuff... ok, well, Mommy and Daddy opened stuff, I just watched for now... and then we went to Gramma Kerry and Grampa Wilson's house to have dinner. Aunt Betsy showed up there, and she gave me my dinner while Mom talked and petted the new kitty I met. I met the puppydog, Ryder, but I don't think I like him just yet. I may have to have a talk with him about noses in ears. I got lots of toys and stuff there!! Gramma Kerry brought home lots of stuff for me from her work, from really really nice people there. My Uncle Jeff wants a big version of my fire truck chair that I got-- I won't let him sit in mine, he's too big and will squish it!! But if he wants he can help me sit in it... I kinda slide down it if I don't have some help.

It's been a really good season for me and my Mom and Dad... we're so grateful for everything that people have done for us, for all the prayers, help, just everything. Mommy says that this should help me to understand how blessed we are, and how wonderful the people in our lives are. Thank you all so much for helping us, for sending us your prayers, for every little thing that you've done.


*** and now I gotta go cuz there's a boppy with toys on it that's got my name on it!!!**
