Sam and I on the plane to Wisconsin
Sam got accustomed to the new surroundings really quick thanks to Grandma and his uncles.
As long as Sam has a cow-in-hand he's happy
Ian's amazing with kids
Tearing up the skins to some Bon Jovi
"Wanted....Dead or Alive...."
Emily shows Ian how to use a computer
Out of all those cars, Ian and Jacob both wanted the same one
They managed to work it out
Cheeeeeese!
My mom's Christmas village
My mom's Christmas tree village
My mom's Christmas village (note the subway)
This is pretty much all Sam did in the car
Sam slept all the way to Green Bay
So did Ian...

"Whodat?"

Hanging out and playing with cars
More noodles!

"Wanted...Dead or Alive!"
Kate got to town and we immediately gave her all the kids
Who will fall asleep first?
Who doesn't love playing with matchbox cars?
Oh, so that's where all the kids went...
Once a kid passes out in the middle of the floor it's time to wrap up the party
"Come on, Jacob." "Let's go, Jacob!" "I'm not telling you again Jacob, we're leaving!"
She made this shot.
...but not this one
Who would've thought a flashlight could keep their attention for so long?
The gang at Jacob's birthday party
Jacob can't wait to bust open those presents
Neither can Emily.
and neither can Sam...
"That's Jacob's truck, kiddo"
Bulldozer!
Like most kids confronted with a ton of presents, Jacob starts to fall asleep
"Happy Birthday to Jacob"
"Happy Birthday to YAWN!"
Candles are mezmerizing
"I eat dad's cake!"
If you're 2" tall and need to get somewhere fast, Sam's got the means to get you there.
This was not the best place to be holding a drink while drumming
Taylor Swift never sounded so good
Santa and his flamingo
Sam's favorite toy at Aunt Jen's was this chair
Playing ball with Lucy
Lucy in mid roll
Reed's "computer game" face
"Get down Reed!"
A good old fashioned sing-a-long
"The itsy bitsy spider..."
Sam at the Milwaukee Children's Museum
"I'm not going in there..."
