The 2 weeks of Christmas

We celebrated Christmas for 2 weeks. We started at our house the Sunday before Christmas. Santa visited us early since we were going to be travelling later in the week.

Joshua's "big boy" chair


Dave's new electric hedge clippers!


Opening the fire station toys



I'm not sure who likes Joshua's remote control car more.

We arrived at our final destination (Dave's parents' house) in South Carolina on Wednesday. We were excited that Jonathan and Michele were able to spend Christmas with us and meet Joshua.

We are going to have to work on Joshua's reaction to receiving clothes for Christmas. Joshua will be wearing his new red and white striped sweater, from Jonathan and Michele tomorrow for the National Championship game.



Sometimes it is easier to kick a present open then to use your hands.


Joshua liked Uncle Jonathan's new basketball.


E-I-E-I-O

While in South Carolina, we made a quick trip to Summerville to see Amelia's grandparents. Joshua wasn't feeling well that day and sat quietly in the lap of anyone who wanted to hold him.

Unfortunately, Joshua got sicker that same night. We left South Carolina a day early in order to get closer to home and to see a doctor.

We saw a doctor in Birmingham and learned that Joshua had an ear infection. 2 medications and a few days of help from Aunt Beth and he was back to his old self.

We then travelled to Jackson to have Christmas with Amelia's family on New Year's Eve.
