 Everybody already loves new little brother

 Even if we thought he was going to be a girl

 Next time I better tip the radiologist better so he'll do a good job.

 We're glad to have him in our family

 Jen and Robert are doing well

Christmas Day And A Happy New Year

John loves silky things.  Grace made the pillow Johnny spends his days relaxing on.  

Anne made him a silky green pillowcase that he sleeps with every night.  

Our day was spent playing marble runs, reading books, eating treats.....

Lego creations....

Watching the new movies, and checking out all the features of the new hiking backpack.

Santa brought us some awesome water bottles.

Did I say we spent the day playing Legos?

James is a Beyblade champion.  This is the toy to beat all toys this year.

Grandma Jammies arrived and we had 2nd Christmas eve on the 27th.

Aunt Susan made the kids aprons and Grace has been wearing hers while using all the kitchen utensils she was given from Anne.  Our kitchen is full of treats and our home is full of happy kids.

We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The girls went ice fishing with Edwin on New Year's Day.  They had lots of fun.  They brought home fish to fry.  They had the camera....and we will all have to imagine what the pictures look like.  No photos were brought home!  Oh, well.  Here's to a New Year!
