The Big Day

Christmas with kids is just too much fun. We had a great morning and Kate even went to check if Baby Jesus was in hthe manger. For the last few weeks she has added a piece of yarn to the manger when she did something nice and then it was all ready for him to be born on Christmas. It was nice to see her remember and thank you to Grandma for making it with her. Jack wanted to stop and play with each toy which was great because it stretched it all out a little longer. He loved everything Diego "look ..iego, iego!". Kate's enjoying her new camera and LOVES the light bright Jack gave her. Ray was surprised and thoroughly enjoyed getting a cooler full of Graeters ice cream straight from Ohio. I had it shipped last week and stored it at P&L's house. I knew I would benefit from this as well and I am - right now actually eating as I type this - best ice cream ever. Santa brought the family Zoob and we have had a lot of fun with this. I think the kids will like it more as they play around with it and figure how it all hooks together. Here is a bike Ray made - it comes with cards to show you ideas of what you can make and after being hooked it can all move, it's just so cool we love it. And last week Jack came running into the living room dragging a huge body pillow behind him yelling "look at this, look at this". I had never seen it and I knew Ray had something hidden under our bed as I was forbidden to look there. Jack decided to drag it out so lucky me I got it early and have been enjoying it all week!
