Christmas

Merry Christmas!
We have been very blessed this year, and would like to offer the very best of the season to all those we love. Thank you for everything, we would not be where we are today without each and every one of you. We put up our pitiful excuse for a Christmas tree last night after Mass, and James was amazed to find it in our living room this morning (Joe let me sleep in this morning for my birthday, thus had to get up with mister brighteyes at 5:30). He is usually very interested in lighting fixtures, and the lights on the tree were no exception. James and his daddy then apparantly went on a quest for coffee, and walked for about 45 minutes before finding a place that was open (the convenience store across the street was, though he didn't think to check there!). So James had already had a big day before I got up for good at around 9ish! He really enjoyed 'unwrapping' his presents. He likes the crinkly noise paper makes, and was entertained for quite a while. The weather has been unseasonably warm, so we went for a long walk in the afternoon. He was generally pretty cranky today, so his "bah humbug" shirt from Auntie Amy was fitting!
