Rockettes!

It was a special Christmas this year!  CJ and mommy took a trip to NYC to see the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular with some of mommy's co-workers.  

On our way to the show, we stopped at the big Christmas tree in Rockafeller center.

CJ ready with his popcorn!

Enjoying the show:

After the show, CJ made himself comfortable at mommy's work and

...played a little golf,

...colored with chalk in the cafe,

...checked out the new rock wall, which wasn't quite ready yet,

...and raced down the slide!

Needless to say, CJ didn't make it 5 minutes in the car on the way home.

And neither did Claire, even though she didn't even get to see the show!

Christmas 2012

Christmas in New Jersey this year!  Here we are getting ready to go over to Ma-G's house for Christmas Eve dinner. 

 



 Ma-G had an extra special surprise for CJ.

 

CJ really enjoyed opening presents Christmas morning this year.



Christmas in NJ

Since we were in California this year for Christmas, we celebrated our Christmas at home on December 29th.

Here's our festive living room with CJ starting to open presents.

He got a Lego train set from Uncle Peter.

And a Razor Scooter from Aunt Maggie and Uncle Matt.

He loved the hockey set from dad.

Helping to clean up on his scooter.

See all of the pictures here.

Christmas in CA

We spent Christmas week in California this year. We took a ton of pictures during our trip; to see them all please click here.

We arrived a few days early so decided to take CJ to see the train displays at the Richard Nixon museum. CJ couldn't believe his eyes. He ran from one display to the next!

When CJ becomes President some day, this is the photo that will be in all the newspapers.

While Mommy and Daddy spent an evening in San Diego, CJ went to the puppet show with Gamma.

In fact, it was so much fun, they went back the next night with Uncle Kyle and Aunt Sam.

CJ loved their new puppy.

Here's CJ helping Gamma set up for the family to come over on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve day, John's son Chad and wife Terah came over with their 3-year old daughter, Macaela, and 6-month old son. CJ had a blast with Macaela; they chased each other around the house.




Family photo opp.


On Christmas Eve, we went to Grandpa's house to celebrate and watch CJ open presents.

On Christmas morning, we opened more presents back at Gamma's house.


In the afternoon, more family came over, and there were lots of games to play. CJ made a good ping pong partner for Uncle Kyle.

At night, CJ played with his new trains.


Another family photo opp before everyone goes there separate ways.
