I guess this probably goes without saying, but don't press the PLAY button if you don't have a high speed connection, it's a 2MB streaming video file. You have been warned.
And if you can't press that button, well that's a real shame, because the video is absolutely hilarious!

Multi-tasking
First off, Sam gets a battery powered Thomas the Train set from Mimi (adorable talking cat sold separately).
Then, Sam gets a guitar just like Daddy's so we can rock out on Guitar Hero together. (I think Mom already has pictures of that...if so, they'll be up here soon I can bet!)
And, as only a child can do, he finds a way to make the train and the guitar play together!

Sneaky little boy
I don't know what was on Sam's mind here, but it sure looks like he's trying to abscond with a present...one that is clearly marked FOR JAY. He just has a shifty look on his face.
Whoa. This is weird now that I think of it. The present ended up being The Eagles latest album. And The Eagles are one of Sam's favorite bands. Maybe he can see through wrapping paper and was after it because he knew what it was. I'm going to have to keep my eye on this kid from now on, that's for sure. Especially when there are presents around.

Hey! That's mine!
Now Sam is trying to take over MY gift. He's enjoying it though. The only good part is that I really kick his butt in the game (for now!).
Does he look excited or what?

Sam loves Jill's present at Christmas #1
Well, Jill got Sam a big pop-up play tent for Sam in the shape of Thomas the train. Sam loves trains, by the way. Please be sure to click the pictures so you can blow them up and really see how excited he was when that thing started coming up the stairs.

I saw Santa today
True story. Coming back from Sam's show, there was Santa Claus on the corner waving to everyone. Cool thing I had my camera still!
Sam's Christmas show
Sam had his first Christmas show today. He's the little dip in the middle of the line (as if you couldn't tell!). He appeared to be completely shell-shocked on stage. He didn't move, smile, clap or sing! He's been practicing all week too at home. Hayley and I have overheard him in the next room playing by himself and singing Christmas songs. It's pretty cute.
I've entitled this first picture: "The Dip." Because, as you'll see, Sam is just the dip in the line!
This is Sam's teacher walking him off stage.

25 Signs that you've grown up
Culled from another site here.
You know you are finally a grownup when:
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. (Exhibit A!)
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “break up”.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up”.
10. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good shit”.
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again”.
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking, “Oh shit, what the hell happened?”
