We had a wonderful Christmas day celebration in Mountain Lakes with Mom/Grandma/Greatgrandma (whose energy is limitless), the Georges, and all the Konopacks. The pictures aren't exactly in the order I wanted but you'll get the idea. Greatgrandma gave Trenton the Playskool Dance Cam. It hooks up to your TV and plays songs and shows your image along with some graphics. It was a big hit! Above Grandpa and Uncle Jay dance along.
Greatgrandma shows Trenton how to do a line dance, like a Rockette!
Yes, she actually sat down for a moment of quiet time with Oliver who was a bit fussy.
One big happy family.
Mom said she wanted to put on a costume and do a trick for us, so we had our cameras ready: "I'm a jolly little fellow all dressed up in black and yellow. I'm here to make you laugh and smile. I hope I do something worthwhile!"
She passed out gold, chocolate coins to everyone. You can see we all had big smiles! She and her mother made up the song and costume for a 2nd grade event and it stuck with her all these years.
Thanks Mom/Grandma/Greatgrandma for such a stellar performance!
Another happy family
When the button is pressed on these trucks it says "Caterpillar". Trenton gets a kick out of that but I don't think he understands that it's the brand name of the heavy equipment.
He has many expressions, this is a funny one.
This is a pure joy one!
Trenton knows many dance moves and loves to dance so this was the perfect gift.
This is such a good picture of Uncle Jay dancing with Trenton but not a good picture of John's hand following 33 radiation treatments. Sorry, hon, I should have cropped this pic.
Matching father-son vests.
I should have rotated this one first, sorry, there were so many pictures to blog today, I forgot. Oliver looked adorable in his first Christmas outfit.
Isn't he getting big?
Chrysanne made a Christmas big brother moose for Trenton and a little brother moose for Oliver at Build a Bear. Good gifts, Chrysanne. Oliver has a big smile for Greatgrandma.
He's my little buddy.
On our way to church on Christmas Eve. We are so pleased with our tree this year. It's a blue spruce that's green.
Christmas morning. I made Oliver's stocking just like all the others - using my paternal grandmother's patterns.
Posing (using the remote timer) with some of our favorite presents.
