Jack is such a snuggler - especially when he first wakes up from his nap (it turned out that he had a fever of 101+ as well). He has a great sense of humor and keeps us entertained. Most of the time he is happy and plays well with his big brother (or entertains himself). He figured out that the video cabinet at Auntie Hollie's would be an excellent place to hide (or at least try to).

Henry was in his first Christmas program at church this year! Although his program was the same day as the children's program at our church, we were able to attend our program and then zoom over to see Henry sing! It sure was special seeing him singing and see his excitement when he saw that we were in the audience. He was so serious while he sang and did the motions - he took it seriously. It turned out that he was getting sick and by evening was running a fever. SIGH! Henry is a huge Toy Story 3 fan (especially of Buzz Lightyear). Yesterday Becca and I took went to Joanne Fabrics and he got a iron on patch of Buzz. Becca put it on a shirt today and sent me a picture of him wearing it (on her cell phone). She said he was so excited that he was practically vibrating! Henry loves my Lambchop puppet. When he comes over he says, "Nana, you have to be Lampchop - put her on your hand." Then he talks to her and interacts with her (I had to build with blocks with her on my han...

Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace, good will to men! Today is the day we celebrate the birthday of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah! Rich and I spent the first Christmas Eve and Christmas morning alone since our first Christmas together. It was wonderful!!! We are heading over to Hollie's house to celebrate with the whole family this evening. Originally the family was getting together on Christmas Eve but schedules became so complicated that we changed plans. It has been a wonderful laid back, yes, even a romantic Christmas! I babysat Henry and Jack on Thursday and then Becca and I took the boys out for a late lunch (she got off early), to the library for books (we found more train books) and then over to our house for the evening since Brent was working. We had such fun. Both of the boys are very sweet and love coming over to Nana's house. Jack took his second nap of the day at our house (he has a cold) and Henry rested while watching an Elmo DVD. ...

Look who is sitting up - with a little help! We tried taking a family picture on Christmas Eve - this is the best picture of the bunch. It would have been better if we had a person to point and shoot instead of a delayed flash but what can you do . . . .

Wow, I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. I am sending cards (with pictures) but they will come after Christmas. Sorry, it can't be helped! I appreciate the cards, letters, and pictures that we have already received. Merry Christmas to one and all!! As Henry says, "Ho, ho, ho!" We wish that we could see each of you at this wonderful time of year and celebrated Jesus' birth together.
