Christmas #2 for Sam was a big success on all fronts. A lot of Sam's friends made it over to say hi during the week, and of course Nana, Papa, and TT made it up to Seattle in between snow storms, and they were a great help to Mom and Dad in addition to a joy to Sam.
Sam received lots of great presents...the highlight of which was prepared the night before in the basement. Papa Alan designed and built (with Dad's help) a train table for Sam's new choo choos. It's already kept Sam occupied for hours, and we hope that as he grows, he uses more and of it and explores the possibilities.
There were tons of highlights from this holiday season but we can't show them all, here are some of the best!
Isaac and Isabella stopped by to exchange gifts with Sam...and pose for this quick shot.
