Merry Christmas!

We'll get some pictures up later (we still haven't opened presents, after church James took a nap then we ate our Christmas dinner). We are back in our place, which was de-leaded last week. It was quite a process, and we are so thankful to be home! Last night after James went to bed we put up our Christmas decorations and brought out the presents from family and St. Nicholas (we are keeping presents from Santa/us limited to 3, in honor of the Magi. It makes us think harder about what to get, and will hopefully keep the spirit of the season where it should be) James exclaimed "WOW" when he saw everything this morning! He was really excited! In other news, he is taking the odd step here and there now. He doesn't really see the advantage to walking yet, but I'm happy he is at least making an attempt!

Merry Christmas to you. You sound as if you have a good plan for celebrating and remembering the important values at the same time.

James must have enjoyed it. He may have liked some of the contents of the boxes as well this year.

Love,
Aunt Betsy, Uncle Mark, Elizabeth and Andrew

Sounds like it was a nice day that really celebrated what Christmas is all about. Look forward to some pics, too. Hopefully you had some tasty birthday cake too.
