Merry Christmas

Both of the kids really enjoyed Christmas. Will "helped" everyone open their gifts. I don't think I had to open a single one myself. It worked out nicely this year, because Jeanne really did not care if Will opened all of her presents too. It will be interesting in a year or so when she wants to open her own presents.


What a nice brother! Will is showing off one of his gifts!

It was a busy, but fun month! This was the first year that Will really got into Christmas and Santa! It was a lot of fun for all of us. He was in the Christmas play at school, called Happy Birthday Jesus! He was a great sheep! In a wonderful sheep costume that his mother made him. You can only imagine...I will have to get pics from Uncle Jeff to document my first creation.
Everyone loves a santa hat!
Will was so excited to go and see Santa this year. He waited and waited. We finally took him on Christmas Eve....that was when daddy could come with us and wait in line. He brought his Christmas list with him, so he could give it to Santa. He hopped right up on Santa's lap and was not too concerned about Jeanne's obvious reservations about the stranger that we passed her off to. After he finished talking to Santa, he asked "Where are my presents." At which point we had to clarify Santa's delivery procedures. It was hilarious.
Who is this guy????

Happy Birthday Jeanne!

Jeanne celebrated her first birthday this month! She had a ladybug party and it was fun for everyone. Surprisingly, she was not a big fan of the cake...she actually liked the balloons better. She has come along way since last December!

"This is fun! Mommy is really going to enjoy cleaning this up."

See what we have been up to!

Things have been pretty busy around the house, but we are always getting into lots of interesting things. Jeanne is eating lots of "real food" and she might be small but she loves to eat! She and Will are really having a good time playing "together" most of the time. As long as Jeanne is willing to play with the toys that Will wants her to play with. It is pretty funny to watch them interact. Jeanne is becoming a little more assertive as she gets older though.

Will still loves to play trains and one of his new favorite toys is Mr. Potato Head. Ahhh...he must be gifted as he as found other "interesting" ways to use the Mr. Potato Head parts. It is never a dull moment! Oh yes, and we have also added another tortured Brown's fan to the family!
Jeanne loves bath time! There is not much else I can say...I think that her face says it all.
Will and Jeanne are "Working hard on the Railroad!"
