We decorated our tree and got our house ready for our second Christmas in the same home! That's a record! We've been somewhere different every year. It was nice to be settled and decorating was a whole lot easier because I had done it before.

| Jack's traditional Christmastime PJ's. Ornament from Nana and Pepi representing Jack's year. My lungs can't take the dust so extreme precautions were taken! We get pretty serious. |
On the 6th I turned 7!
Mom made all those gingerbread men and I helped decorate so we could deliver them to the Bone Marrow Unit.
How wonderful that was to deliver those cookies with Jackson and Jason beside me.
We've all come so far and have been so blessed.
This picture represents one of the sweetest moments with Jack.
After we dropped off the cookies we went out to lunch to celebrate.
As we were eating we explaining all the happened and all that I went through to still be here. Jack just started sobbing. He snuggled really close and expressed his love and appreciation that I was still here. Talk about one of those moments that we will not forget.
We also celebrated with a trip to Universal and to Hogwarts and then a crab dinner with the whole family including the reason why I am here, My amazing brother and donor Jake!
Oh and this happened!

| We have a cub scout! What?!? |
As usual, December was full of parties and celebrations that kept us pretty busy.

| On our way to Jason's work Christmas Party. Christmas Eve We had out traditional Christmas Eve dinner with all the excitement and magic.   Christmas Day This year was a Harry Potter/Lego Christmas for Jackson. Santa surprised him with a Crookshanks. 
Of course there was a Lego set to work on all day.
 Jack wasted no time getting down to busniess.  It was a very Harry Christmas! 
We had brunch at Mom and Dad's with Granddad and Uncle Jim.
There was a lot of kissing to Jack's dismay, under the mistletoe.

We got some quality presents from each other.
My favorite was the mug Jack made for me in his ceramic class.
New Year's Eve
We stayed home and watched Jack cook in the James Beard Kitchen via webcam. It was so exciting watching him perform his magic while in New York. We did let off a few fireworks and just had a low key night at home together. That's the way we like it.
