Christmas with the Shows

Christmas at the Show house is always entertaining. We spend every Christmas Eve at Jon's parents house and kick off the night at our annual Japanese steak house. Afterwards, we come back to the house and open presents and fight over lottery tickets. Below are a few pics from the evening

Twas the night before Christmas.....

Cooper and Papa, just before bedtime.

This is at the Japanese steak house...Cooper was thoroughly amused.

Christmas is not complete without dancing/light-up hats....

Make Like A Tree

This year's trip to get the xmas tree was a little more or less eventful, depending upon how you want to look at it. Last year he slept through it. This year he was awake but we forgot to charge the camera, which is why the following photos look like stills taken with the same camera that shot the Kennedy assassination. Michelle was particularly excited to get the tree. I could tell because she was using her falsetto signing voice on the way home to sing along with the xmas song radio station.


This was one of the few usable shots. Turns out his jacket has a reflective logo, which pretty much makes every shot look like he's on fire. I think he's staring at the chainsaw. Who says we aren't safe parents?


Here's Michelle, Cooper and a tree. I should point out that we didn't buy this particular tree. Shortly before this Michelle tried to pose for three other pictures while Cooper played with a stick. She eventually grabbed the stick and tossed it over her shoulder, nearly impaling a young girl.



I got Cooper some ornaments. One's a train and the other was a rocket ship. He tried to eat both of them.


Cooper trying to put his ornaments on the tree.


To be honest, neither of us like having our picture taken, which makes it amazing this blog has lasted as long as it has.
