Waiting

We kept busy busy right up until Christmas Eve but Isaac still said, "Christmas is taking for soooo long to get here" He was really anxious to open his presents!We have never done the santa things so as soon as we have them wrapped and ready we put them under the tree, so he had to stare at them for days :-) I guess it gives them a lesson in patience :-)

The kids and I made a gingerbread train. It was one of those kits you buy and it was pretty fun. I thought of doing the real deal but let that go pretty quickly - way too busy for that :-)

Finn and Isaac were big buddies! Isaac said he was his best friend :-) It was so cute to see them play together and to see Finn's amazed awe at this bigger boy :-) They both LOVED anything that had to do with trucks so both were very absorbed in the book grandpa was reading. Erika, Chris and Madison busy working on the puzzle and Hannah taking a break from her wash cloth to give me a smile. Unlike most people we will not have to wean her from the bottle, from the pacifier or even her thumb but from the wash cloth!
Sweet little Finn! What a cute personality he has, he is smiley, happy and mellow. He has an adorable laugh that I can just hear in this picture of he and Madison :-)
Nothing beats getting a story from grandma, except maybe a story from grandma in front of a warm fire! Grandpa and Hannah hanging out and Isaac focusing on creating the perfect Mr. Potato Head

  1. Finally some pictures of you! I love that little picture of Hannah in the green...she's just such a cutie! The train looks good too-did you eat it? I bet it's pretty nice being close to family and not having to travel too much.

    p.s. I'll talk to you later about your comments. :)
