Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas is always a blast. Once family starts trickling into town we begin all our fun tradition. Skating, bowling, games, eating a lot, visiting, many late hours of putting the puzzle together(this years was a nightmare), sledding, watching Christmas movies, craft projects, celebrating Burton & Tacey's Birthdays, secret Santa, Christmas Eve PJ's, lighting candles and reading "Twas the night before Christmas" and the Christmas pageant of Christ birth.
Christmas morning we open our stockings while we wait for everyone else to wake up. Thatcher didn't really get into the whole unwrapping thing but has enjoyed many of his presents since then.

Hayden was a little unhappy

Since he couldn't roller skate...he drove

We joined Jeff's family tradition of meeting Grandpa & Grandma Lee for Christmas Eve Breakfast at IHOP

Thanks to the internet and Skype Kristen and her family joined us from Germany...pretty cool.

"Super Star" hands:)

Thatcher's first Christmas. He loved playing with all of his cousins and hated being left out of things.

Exactly!!!

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.' We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'OH.....I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad. ?''Exactly' I replied back with a big smile on my face.
