Baby in the cupboard

I have been telling a lot of you lately what a handful Jefferson is lately. This picture is much better than words.



Needless to say, our un-babyproofed kitchen cupboards are now baby-proof. What will he do next, stay tuned...

Even More Christmas 2009

Christmas at Gram and Paps, what an exciting time of the year! By now, Jefferson knew what to do with a present. He wasn't intimidated by the mountain of them either, he jumped right in!


You can dress her up, but she'll always be a silly girl underneath.

Ben sure is getting big isn't he? He loves coming here and seeing everyone, and everyone always says "Wow, is he taller again?"

Another try at a cousin picture, I think it will be a long, long time until everyone is looking and smiling. But, it's still cute.

Normally, we see the after picture with the kids and Daddy with his birthday cake. This is the before pic, who can resist? Certainly not grandkids at Gram's.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, we most certainly did. Thank you for all the gifts, fun, cookies, hugs and kisses. We love you all!

Wonderful Christmas

We had an absolutelty wonderful Christmas! The kids must have been good this year so Santa came and left some nice presents. The older the kids get, the easier it is to get them to bed on Christmas Eve!


Jefferson was mesmerized by the tower of presents in the living room, he started opening without us!

The big boy bike that Santa brought Ben. He also brought Hannah a Razor daisy scooter and Jefferson a Whisper Ride Buggy.

Have'nt we seen this picture before? It's this years version. More rooms for the doll house.

This present was a big hit with Jefferson, actually he loves everything he got.

We are so blessed to have a Christmas like this, and another one in a few days. It is truly wonderful to see the joy on the kid's faces and see that they really understand what Christmas is about: love, family, and giving.

Merry Christmas Partying!

The celebrations have begun! We had a great weekend partying with the kids. Friday night was Hannah's Family Christmas dance at school, Sat was the the parents Progressive Dinner and kids pizza/movie night at church, and Sun the the annual kids Christmas party at the Holiday Inn.

Hannah sure has some cool dance moves.

Jefferson can't get enough of all the balloons in the room.

Jefferson got some new gears from Santa (our old ones were a little rusty).

Ben has a new dance move (cover your ears until the song is over and then jump up and down)

This is only the beginning of all our holiday fun, next weekend: ugly sweater party for mom and dad only. Then family arrives for Christmas, and it will be wonderful. Hope your enjoying the Christmas season, can't wait to see you all.
