Christmas Day = spoiled Clark

Clark was such a lucky boy yesterday and had just about the most wonderful Christmas he could have possibly had. He got to feed the horses in the morning and went down for a nice little nap. Then there was the Christmas present opening marathon which you can see was a hit. We weren't sure if he was going to have the patience to sit through all the gifts he had to open but he had SO much fun. After that he was wiped out and ready for another nap. Once he was up though he got to play with all his new toys and then all the family came over and he had fun playing with everyone. He was quite the hit and put on a show for everyone the whole night. He loved eating all the different things at dinner, although the olives were his favorite. It certainly was a wonderful day and night- we are so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful family and a great day-

Here's a picture of Clark from last Christmas. SUCH a difference!!!


Here's his Santa picture from last year. Much better Santa! He had pretty much the same look on his face both years. ha!

Clark actually figured out that the trash goes in the can and he loved helping clean up the mess.

Give a baby boy the coolest truck and he'll play with the box. The truck did get some good playing action later in the afternoon though- Thanks Aunt Joan & Uncle Stan! Rich still has the Hess truck from when he was a little guy :)

Clark got so into playing with his Artoo Laptop that he fell backwards.

Yay, Chucks just like Daddy!

Where's Clark?

I swear lasagna tastes better when made with 93 year-old Italian hands!

Sadly, that hat will see a LOT of action when we get back home. For right now we're going to enjoy the "unseasonably warm" 80 degree weather we're having here! Clark's also playing with his awesome new remote control tonka truck. He kept running it into his feet and it freaked him out a little so he's sitting on Uncle Joe's lap. Now that he's used to it each time he makes the truck move he laughs hysterically. It's great! We can't wait for he and Lloyd to play with the truck together!

Judging from the look on Clark's face you'd think those olives were soaked in vodka!

Clark learned to play baseball with his giant soft Yankee baseball set.

He's even quite the pitcher!

Charlene and Suzy were able to come from cold Detroit for a visit!!!
