Happy New Year!

Grandma brought little personalized picture books for everyone. They love looking at pictures of themselves!


We were thrilled to have Jed's mom and brother Ryan come out to spend New Years with us. The kids had been asking why Grandma wasn't coming for Christmas and were so thrilled to learn that she would be here the very next week. The boys were just sure that Ryan would be AWESOME at building legos and they were right. Kate also loved that he would sit and eat dinner with her at her pink table. Ryan, thank you for being a good example of kindness to our boys who sometimes brush their little sis aside. Other highlights included drawing pictures, playing in the sink full of water, reading "The Magic Tree house" and other books, Grandma feeding Gracie her first oatmeal and Jed and I even got a chance to go out on a date (we went to dinner and saw "The Blind Side"--I loved it!). We all can't wait for them to come again...based on their driving experience I think it will be in warm weather!
