What a busy last couple days. I just felt a mad rush to get stuff done and half of it didn't even make it to the 'completed' list. I didn't even get my in laws gift mailed in time for Christmas. Nor did I have Christmas letters mailed in time. But you know what? It doesn't matter. It was an awesome day celebrating with family.
Some highlights:
1. Being able to give Nate a TV, a hat, and a mixed CD all on a $50 budget and seeing his look of shock at my sheer cleverness with making it happen.
2. Watching my 7 week old son try to master the art of opening a gift from Uncle Phil. He was fairly in awe of the pretty gold paper and kept grabbing at it. He wasn't so sure of the adorable Team Canada hockey jersey though. I will have to break him gently.
3. Playing cards with Nate, Nina, Kyle and Phil. I think we all had a little too much Christmas candy and coffee (Matt arrived this am with a Starbucks to-go carton with coffee enough for 14!!).
4. Watching my son sleep contentedly in the arms of many a family member.
5. Hearing Joe ask Kyle what his card from my parents said and having Kyle quickly reply "I like you better than Joe." Kyle is dating my little sister and Joe is married to my pregant sister.
6. Getting just what I wanted from my hubby!! A new jersey and an IKEA blanket I've been craving for awhile.
7. Thanks to the beauty of technology, Grandpa and Grandma in Ontario were able to see Jericho on our new webcam. They were really excited to see how much he's grown. Thanks for the Noah's Ark and super cute bib!
Also, my parents must really love Jericho. They want more like him. My dad's idea of great gifts for us married ones all entail chocolate body lotion, perfume lotion, and a two night stay at Harrison. I get the hint. You want more.
I hope everyone had as Merry a Christmas as we.

Whew! Before I enlarged the pic, I thought your dad was innundating your little man with George W propoganda and I was going to encourage you to develop a screening process for the people you let around your child. But now I see it's ok. Crisis adverted, I can sleep easy tonight. Glad you all had a merry Christmas!!
Actually the body frosting was just a fun gift I through in couldn't resist it a Winners and my friend Sandy, but the harrison two day stay was all your days idea, I just got to try and order it and waited two days for the delivery only to be told it would be delivered on this wednesday instead. grandma robinson
Isn't the first CHristmas with them so wonderful? I'm so glad you had a beautiful day with Jericho and your family. You are truly blessed and loved by many!
I am glad you had a great Christmas! That little boy of yours just keeps getting cuter and cuter doesn't he!?!?!Any big plans for new years eve?
sarah,dan,& boys
Thanks Sarah!
We're likely going to hang out at our friends like we did last year. There's a group of us at my church who were married around the same time and we're all in a Bible Study with Darren & Rachael - who have been married 10years. We like them.
What are your plans?
Glad you had a good christmas - what a cutie boy. Looks like he had lots of fun and attention. Good for you and him. Say hi to Nate from Justin!

So cute!!!
This is my li'l guy's (and last baby of four) second Christmas, so he was old enough to understand presents. It was so much fun to watch him open them. LOL!
of course we want more but most of all we want you two to continue enjoying a great relationship and to take time for that! love Iris
