Christmas

We had a fun two-part Christmas this year. We started off in Seattle with Santa gifts on the 23rd, and then drove down to to Jon's parents in San Jose.

When Santa visited our house, the tree was a bit bare...


...but, both boys got what they wanted. Matthew got a jack hammer, a chain saw, and a weed whacker.


Seth didn't really know what he wanted (or that he even had presents on the way). He got a vacuum which looks like a miniature version of our real vacuum. He loves it.

Santa also brought us a dual screen DVD player for the car (one screen attaches to each of the driver's and passenger's head rests). It made for a much easier time during the 14 hours of driving to San Jose. On our way down, we stopped at some friends' house in Portland and we spent the night in Eugene. We got to spend time with Aunt Mary, drove by our old apartment, and stopped by the law school for old times' sake.

We got to San Jose in time for Christmas Eve dinner. We then had the real Christmas morning. Seth didn't really get into the presents so much, but he loved the paper.


Matthew's favorite present was an astronaut costume which he immediately put on, and has worn the majority of days since then.
