Thank you for the food we eat,
Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the birds that sing,
Thank you God for everything. Amen.

We took the kids to the park while Jenn was visiting for Christmas :)  Ethan’s first trip to a park.

Whatever you do, do not look at the camera, boys!

Stockings all around.

There were a lot of presents for everyone, even the adults joined in the fun.  Rachel got a pogo stick, jumping is not an easy trick! The boys got cars and bouncy balls, silly putty was given to all.  A candy cane and spinning top were given to each by grandma and pop pop.  Bowling fun for Alex, an erector set for Andrew… rattles, clothes and baby toys for little Ethan too.  I’m sure I’m forgetting half the stuff these lucky kids were given… but I’m mostly asleep while typing this and need a caffeine fixin.

Hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas and got to spend time with family and friends!
