Christmas Re-cap

Have you heard of the slow food movement?  Well, in our household we are having a slow Christmas. The holiday is almost over, Jasper is asleep, but there are presents that remain unopened. Jasper has been sick the past few days and today we received some clarity on the situation. His fever broke this morning and soon after, I noticed a minor rash on his face and chest. After a search for information online and a call to the doctor, we are quite sure he has Roseola. It's nice to know what is going on and that he is on the mend. However, Jasper was quite grumpy today.

We had a Facetime Christmas with our family in Michigan, but we only opened a few gifts from them before we decided to try for another day. He did have fun interacting with them, which was great. Later, our Seattle family came for dinner and Jasper had his ups and downs. We will have to get through the gifts sometime this week. Here are some pictures:

Heading toward the tree in the morning. You can tell Jasper is not feeling too great.

 

It might be a little hard to tell from the picture, but Jasper LOVES this drum set from Aunt Molly.

At least these people are happy.

A fire truck from grandma!

 
This picture sums up how Jasper was feeling today, poor little guy. I, on the other hand, am delighted with my gift.

Here's Jack in his new Sounders shirt, about to play "Jingle Bells" on our son's new xylophone. 

And here is Jack again, this time with a beard! He is so manly, he grew that in 30 seconds!

This turtle on wheels was a hit. I have another picture with Jasper riding it and he is smiling--no really. It was just too blurry to publish. We will take more fun toy pictures this week when he cheers up a bit.

 In our household, Christmas is to be continued...
