Christmas 2009

Happy Holidays to everyone! After recoupering yesterday, we wanted to post quickly about Christmas.
Kaitlyn enjoyed her first Christmas and James nearly burst at the seams Christmas morning when he saw all the presents Santa left for him. We had fun watching him open his gifts, which after they were all open, we realized that our loot resembled that of a 4H farm family from Arkansas. We have one very happy boy who is enjoying his wheelbarrow and wooden barn stocked with farm animals. We're also finding it normal to be saying things like "fine, you can take the goose into the shower tonight" or "why did you put the goat in the dog's bowl?"
What fun!

Kaitlyn's 2 month bear picture...

a little late! But we did take the pictures on the 2 month date, just a little slow getting it on the blog! Busy busy busy getting ready for the holidays and making sure we are all being REALLY good for Santa.
