Christmas 2005

A bountiful Christmas, again! We made the trek up to Anne Arundel County, even in football traffic, to spend Christmas Eve with aunts, uncles, and cousins
and Jacob had way too much fun turning the band leader on and off and on and off. Then he found the velcro advent calender and we barely heard a peep from
him for about an hour. Food and family, gifts and gabbing, topped off by a rousing game of Pictionary (Girls trounced the Boys). Christmas morning (er...
afternoon, really) brought the grandparents and Uncle Boo down from Maryland and stockings were followed by presents, then lunch (yum!), then more presents
some of which had to be opened for Jacob because he was entranced by a certain red toy with wheels that U.B. assembled right there in the living room!

Christmas Eve in Crownsville	Out of focus, Jacob's bored, at least someone's happy!	Cheese residue all over his face but now he's happy!
Playing Pictionary (we're wild and crazy!)	What's cuter than wind-up toys and a baby in footie pjs?	Ooh, what's in that stocking?
A monkey dance to celebrate getting Barrel of Monkeys!	Bouncing on Boo!	Early on in the present opening stage.
The Red Flyer ride-on toy	Ride-on toy aka Uncle Boo	The last of the presents (finally!)
Eww! Don't put that candy cane in Grandpa's mouth!	A shared laugh!	Family Portrait
