The Christmas tree at the Catholic Church in Carthage
The Christmas holiday was a pretty busy one for Logan as he had 5 Christmases to attend! Wow! We started off with a visit to the Catholic Church's Christmas display in Carthage....lights are very hard to photograph I've found, but some turned out ok.
The giant stone lion outside the entryway
And the only time Logan opened his eyes lol, well a little bit anyways
Then we had Christmas at our house on 12-13-09 and Auntie Sarah, Uncle Billy, Grandpa Steve and Uncles Glen and Sam were there.....Logan slept through the entire time Grandpa and Glen and Sam were there but he had been awake for about 6 hours at that point. We got some pictures when he woke up though.
This is before he fell asleep, I love his expression lol
Sitting with Uncle Billy...gotta love those socks!
"Like my teeth Uncle Billy? They're sharp huh?"
Gwen after her grooming so pretty, even though her nose is shaved :(
Logan liked the shiny paper and pretty bows
"Bows, bows, bows! All mine!"
Look at how well he unwraps presents! His gift from Grandpa Steve, Grandma Sue and Uncles
Glen & Sam is in next to what he's unwrapping.
Look at those curls....

"Lemme at it, I'm not done!"
"Riding along, singing a song" lol
Christmas morning started our at our house....here's Daddy waking us up.
"Daddy I don't want to get up yet!"
"Fine I'm awake, but I'm not ready to give up my bows to unwrap presents"
My new camera!
Jeff's new Kel-Tec holster
"I dunno if I want my ducky or my Binky...."
"SCORE! Chocolate orange! What do you mean it's Daddy's?"
"I want a chocolate orange next year! My own!"
Then we went to Grandma Paula's & Grandpa Don's Christmas afternoon. Uncle Jason, Aunt Megan, cousins Gabe & Kaylee, and also Uncle Josh, Uncle Jeremy and his fiance Casey and her little boy Wes and also Aunt Jessica were there. We had dinner and then opened gifts.
"I hear there are going ot be mashed potatoes at this here meal...and I get some!"

On the 26th we had Christmas at Great-Grandparents Moffet's house....which I didn't get any pictures of but Grandma Paula did so I'll get some of those later. That was also my last night at the job I've been at for almost 7 years so I was feeling a little maudlin. But the girls on South kidnapped me for a bit and made my night, almost had me in tears. Lots of good, bad and sad memories in that hospital but it was time to move on.
Then on the 27th we were supposed to have Christmas at our house but with all the snow and ice our hill was too treacherous so we changed the venue at the last minute to Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Jan's....but that was fine because I didn't have to do clean-up lol!

"I keep finding these cool bows everywhere, this is nice"

And now Logan has a new trick, he can do the SPLITS! I ache every time I see him do this lol.
"Here we go!"
Look at the precision, the balance.....and oooh how I'm wincing lol!
Still not crawling but it should be anytime now, he gets up on his hands & knees and rocks but still not moving well other than backwards or doing face plants into the floor....but it will be soon....scary stuff lol....then it'll be time to watch the dogs who he'll be attempting to ride like horses.....oh dear!
