Final Christmas Images

Christmas 2006 was a wonderful time for Kat and me. Jack just has made us so happy. It was so special to see Jack open gifts and see the look of amazement in his eyes. I have no idea what hell he went through his first five years but I can tell you that he is a gift from God in every way. His smile is pure and his eyes shine with joy. The housecoats are new (and Jack's first) and Jack took the photo of Kat, Nixon and me.

A Champion Christmas
