Go Steelers!

They're a litte excited, and I don't think they even realize what an important game it is. They'll be up cheering till bedtime, and driving daddy crazy while running in front of the tv. Oh well, Steelers fans are pretty fanatical.

Christmas at Gram and Pap's

A few days after Christmas, we had ourselves a merry little Christmas all over again. But this one isn't quite as little, there are more people involved and lots more food and candy.

They think that ALL those presents are just for them.


One of the favorite presents, Pat Pat Rocket from Aunt Juls and Uncle Tim


No trip to Gram's over Christmas is complete without a train ride at the mall, and Evy was able to join us, the more the merrier!


Happy Birthday Daddy!


By the end of the week, Ben was pretty worn out, so he took comfort in Daddy's new Steeler's blanket.


We had such a wonderful Christmas with all of our families and are very grateful for all the generosity shown to us and our children. We're hoping next Christmas they'll feel the gratefullness too! Now we're spending the remaining winter getting ready for the baby, only five and half weeks left!

Christmas at home: 2008

We had ourselves a Merry Little Christmas this year at home with our family. We even kept all of our traditions, like: Candlelight church service, crab legs for the adults, tricking Aunt Julie with her Christmas present, Christmas brunch, and hanging out by the fire.


"Santa came!"


Since she can't have the real thing, this will have to do. At least it didn't come with a litter box.


"It's that thing I always wanted!"


Ben thanks Groompa for the great Diego toy, he was hoping for something like that.
