Christmas in Oshkosh

Christmas was very hectic this year. My sister had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas night at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, my brother had to work the 26th, and we needed a day out of the car after traveling to Columbus for our niece's baptism. So we celebrated Christmas as a family a little later in the week.

Patrick had a great time with his Aunt Annie, Uncle Chris (who isn't as afraid of Patrick anymore), the dogs Sally and Stella, and of course, Grandma and Grandpa.



"Can we open it now?"

No Carbon Monoxide around here!

"How about now?"



EXTREME CLOSE UP



The dogs loved it when Patrick ate.





Finally, for now, we took a trip to the local ice rink in Oshkosh. Patrick loved watching the people skate around while he hung out with Grandma, and really liked the zamboni! Luckily he missed it when his mom and dad tried to get a little fancy, and Meg ended up falling on her butt before smacking her head on the ice. While Meg recovered, I took Patrick for a quick spin.
