The first Christmas in IL was at Nan's on the 24th. Jalen got to visit with cousin Kal ("baby!") and was very interested in touching his face and hair. We were just worried that he would come barrelling through the living room and stomp on Kalden without even seeing him. Jalen found a new love in Nan's old rocking chair that was just his size. 
He had his own special way of getting up into it, but hey, it worked. 
Jalen did open a few of his gifts at Nan's and one of his favorites was a Mickey Mouse dvd. He then proceeded to show everyone how to do the Hot Dog dance.

Our next Christmas was at Mamaw and Papaw's on Christmas morning. Jalen's favorite toys there were the two steps down to the living room and a cardboard box to play in. 
He managed to sneak away while we were opening gifts and we heard him in the living room although none of us knows how he overcame the steps on his own.

Jalen got a dump & fill wagon to load up and pull around, and a ball pit that we had to make sure Mace stayed far away from so he didn't pop it. 
(He, of course, received lots and lots of other things at these get togethers - this is the short version) Through all the excitement, Jalen was developing a nasty cough, so the afternoon of the 26th we took him to a clinic in Evansville to find out that he had pneumonia! The poor guy just didn't feel well the whole time we were home.

Jalen played with all the kids and opened a few gifts before we headed home early to let him rest.
He is now feeling much better, and has since the moment we walked back into our own house. He has been running around like crazy, talking, and stealing Mace's toys. We have a follow-up check up with our doctor tomorrow, so we will know for sure if he is well.
