Fake Christmas Morning

Today we spent a lovely day entirely in our Pj's. Melinda and Will hosted Fake Christmas Morning, a laid back gathering of friends in which we enjoyed the best parts of Christmas-- cookies, brunch, presents, lazing around, playing Wii-- with none of the travel or awkward small talk with Aunt Millie. (Not that I have an Aunt Millie that I am complaining about, mind you, but some people might.) I thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend lots of time just hanging out with some of my very favorite people. I love our "family of friends!" We were also treated to a visit from Laura and Steve, who ventured up from Columbus with 11 week old Noah for the day! He i so cute and little a squishy... thankfully he did us the favor of fussing a bit before Nat could decide that he needed a new little squishy thing around again....
Jack, while certainly no longer little or squishy, was a superb baby all day. He spent most of the day walking around somewhat aimlessly, doing loops around the first floor of M and W's house. That seems to be one of his favorite pastimes in general these days, since the advent of walking. He appears to enjoy the view from his vertical standpoint. He refused to take a morning nap and subsisted mostly on cookies, yet kept a pleasant demeanor from 11 am to 6:30 pm. He can be a pretty fantastic little boy.

Here for your viewing pleasure are some recent pictures.
