Out for Pizza

We went out for pizza the other night.  After placing our order, Patrick found the drink and dessert menu to look at.  When the waitress came back he tried to place an order. Once the food arrived it was time to dig in.

Reading the Menu

I'll have the...

yummmm, mouth full of pizza

Mom and Patrick

Going, going, crash

It's very hard for Patrick to stop when there is stuff going on. He wants to see and do and be apart of everything.
Patrick had played very hard since about 7am that day and about 3pm when we were opening the last gift he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep sitting on Uncle Kenny's lap.
After that Grandpa took him and they napped together in his recliner.

The tree is covered in toys!

The bands back together again

What is going on here?

Patrick had a good time, he was all over the place during gift opening. There were a few noisy, confetti filled, cap guns for people to play with.  Patrick didn't like the big bangs, but he was also very sleepy by this point.

It's raining Uncle Kenny

Thanks.  Glad Uncle David does the vacuuming.

What's going on here?

The box

Patrick enjoys playing with the dragon he received, but the first thing to play with once the package was open was the box.

Have to empty the box out first.

Then jump inside

On the back and feet up

Defend the box!

Pit stop

Opening the Uncles' Christmas Present

We had a nice Christmas get together at Grandpa and Grandma Stull's house last weekend.  After a good meal, Patrick was ready to have some fun ripping into packages.  First up was the one from Uncles Kenny and David.  Patrick needed only a little help in ripping the paper off the box.

First pull off the bows

Then tear strips off the wrapping paper

Then go for chunks

Open the box up and pull out the paper

Oh wow! Help me pull it out!

Can't pull it out just yet.

Roar!!

Other Activities

Patrick loves being with the group no matter what is going on or where the group is.

In the Shop

Playing games

In the living room, on the doggie bed reading

Looking through the art catalog while everyone else reads.

At the Ponds

Normal stops when riding around in the golf cart include two of the ponds in the area. On occasion we get off the cart and go for walks around the pond.

Following the path up the hill

Investigating what's at the top of the hill
