Jack's Surgery

Jack and his mommy before his surgery to separate his joined fingers.




Jack and his huge cast that fell off a few hours later. STRESSFUL!

Jack's First Christmas Tree

We hiked into the wilderness to get Jack's first Christmas Tree...



... and by wilderness, we mean our front yard. Here we are posing with our prize which Jack's grandmothers agree looks "whimsical".



Our little elf was eager to help with the decorations.



And his mom was happy to have his eye for design.



MaryAnn crafted a hand-made bow for the top of our little tree.



Jack even helped his dad get into the holiday spirit, shown here as he advises the old man on some traditional tree trimming.



The Bake ladies place the finishing touches on our tree.



The final product -- Jack's first Christmas Tree!
