4th of July at Sesame Place

It what I hope will become an annual tradition, the Shaw Clan took to the road this 4th of July and headed to Langhorne, PA to visit Sesame Place.   I don’t think we could have had a better time!  Jack absolutely LOVED it.  The look on his face when he saw Bert for the first time was incredible.  He was mesmerized.  Then we went to a show and he sat there with the biggest grin on his face.  Because it was 4th of July weekend, they also had fireworks at night.  We weren’t sure how that was going to go since he was going to be up late and had never seen them before.  Well, just like everything else, he was totally enthralled.  It was such a great feeling seeing him have such a great time.

… and I haven’t even started talking about the rides yet!  He loved the rides.  The water slides, the regular rides.  He even went on the giant cargo net thing (for anyone who has ever been to Sesame Place you KNOW what I’m talking about)!  It was such a great day.  We can’t wait to go back!

Fa la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaa

Jack had a GREAT Christmas this year.  He’s still too young for Santa (and he SURE didn’t like him too much), but he got the concept of presents.  Of course, the first gift he opened at Nana and Poppa’s house was a toy vacuum cleaner.  And we all know that Jack’s favorite thing to do is clean.  So, he proceeded to ignore the rest of his gifts and vacuum the whole place!

Christmas at Grammy’s house was fun.  He got some nice toys and played with Aunt Jessica’s dog, Maggie.  He was a little hesitant at first, but was feeding Magie goldfish by the end of the night.

Unfortunately Jack got sick and couldn’t make it to Grandpa and Grandma T’s.  But he did get some very nice gifts which he opened at home and we sent pictures to them so they could see.

Turkey Day

Jack had a great Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma T’s.  He even had some little friends to play with.  He was laughing and running around.  It was a lot of fun.

Of course, he still won’t eat any Thanksgiving food except corn… which he ate about 4 ears worth.

Maybe we’ll be eating turkey and stuffing by next year.

Trick or Treat!

Isn’t Jack the cutest Elmo you have ever seen?

He totally got into the trick or treating.  He tried to walk into every person’s apartment who opened the door.  We all had a great time.  Jack even helped to hand out candy to the kids who came to out house.  Although, he was giving out candy one piece at a time.
