Pete's Fortieth Week, December 24 to 30

Pete's first Christmas! He had no idea what was going on, but liked the commotion.

On Christmas Eve, up early with Dad (he gets up early even in Florida time zones)

After the Cunningham's Christmas Eve Party

Mat with Monty, who used to be our cat. He still loves Mat.

Christmas morning!

Santa left Pete a rocking horse and an armchair.

Pete had to take a break midway through gift-opening, so he opened his presents throughout the rest of the day.

Christmas Day softball

At Marjorie Kinnan Rawling's house, in Cross Creek, Florida. Pete wasn't an ideal tour-goer, so we spent a lot of time away from the group.

Watching the chickens.

Back in Auburn, stocking up on house supplies at Target.

Greeting me after being with the babysitter all afternoon.

In his wagon. The jumparoo (behind him) had to be put up. He's too big! Stop growing, Pete!
