Together Time

We were so glad to be able to enjoy the blessing of an entire week's vacation between Christmas and New Year's. And even better ... G&G M were able to come down and join us for it! :o)

We kept things low-key, and just really enjoyed being together and puttering on various small projects (including a brake job on Grandma's car and fixing the heater on Chris' truck.) :o)

Matthew loves his new quilt from Great Grandma! He likes pulling at the ribbons on the kite--thanks Grandma! And Hannah was blessed with a special jacket that Jenny's Aunt Ann made for her cousin Jessica when she was little. Thank you to you both!
So what else did we enjoy?
Playing checkers ...
Sawing cardboard ...
Big baby smiles ...
Puzzles and dominoes ...
New books ...
Thumb print art ... (very cool, highly recommended book, by the way!)
Flying the helicopter ...
Snuggling in new jammies ...
Hanging out with Toby ...
Building a dog house for Toby ...
And washing windows ... (gotta love it when such things are fun!)
Ahhh.
It was nice to slow the pace down for a while.

We love you, G&G, and were very glad to have you here to enjoy vacation with us (even if we're low on pictures of you ...) ;o)

I think those are the best kind of vacation -- home and family! Glad you had a great one. (...and I bet Chris is really happy to have heat in his truck now!)

your folks!

The dog house looks nice,almost
