JACK & ABBY: 2009

We took some quick pics before heading to the 12th annual McDuell Christmas Party. We look forward to seeing old friends at this party every year.

Jack & Santa

Jack was not a fan of the man with all the toys this year. There's always next year!

We went to the Lembeck household in Malibu for our annual Merry Christmukkah celebration. We all had a blast despite the rain. Jack was able to go on the beach right when we got there to put his feet in the sand and swing. We had a yummy chicken and rice dinner. We all sang Happy Birthday because Jack thinks anytime you have cake you sing the song. He loved blowing out the candle. Guess it was a good trial run for his upcoming birthday. Jack recieved the coolest Bruder trucks from Aunt Lorna and Uncle Lem. He played with them for a long time. It was such a great day and we are always glad when we get to spend time with our family.

Driving the tractor

Our friends Aimee and Jeff live on a ranch in Chino Hills let Jack come over to see their mini horses. They also have a few tractors on the property and Jack loved getting to "drive" them.

Family Pics

We took Jack to the Irvine Railroad Pumpkin Patch and Papa and Grandma were able to tag along. It was so much fun to watch him run around and pick up pumpkins. He loved sticking his head in all the cut outs too.

Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair

This was always one of our favorite events to go to when we lived there so it was great to take JP to experience it with him for the first time. We thought the motorcycle and fire truck would be the hit since he is obsessed with "things that go" but it turns out he loved the petting zoo even more. He had a blast petting and chasing all the animals around. We had to laugh when he was petting the sheep and loudly yelled "Hi goat!" At least he was close. ;)
