December Holidays
We had a marvelous Christmas this year. It was lots of fun to see everyone. John had a great time playing with Logan for an entire week! He was so sad to see his cousins go home, and was only reconciled when we promised to take him to see them again soon. You are forewarned Kelly! :)
Some full stockings! Everyone must have been very good this year!
John going through his stocking with his cousins. Apparently they are so absorbed in what they got that they don't want to show each other yet!
Jackie and her stocking. She slept through the whole thing. We woke her up just before we left to go to breakfast.
Also, right after Christmas was Justins birthday. Jackie was sick, so we didn't do anything special. He asked for McDonalds for his birthday dinner and cupcakes for dessert. During the day he never seemed to realize it was his birthday, but when he got to blow out his candles on his cupcake he got really excited. And now he does understand (I think) that he is 4 years old and not 3 anymore. I think it also helps that we have really been working with him lately on being able to answer the questions, "What is your name? and How old are you?" The only problem is that he will answer the questions correctly, but shows no understanding of what it actually MEANS. I can only hope that comes later. So here is Justin blowing out his candles. He thought that was great.
It was lots of fun, but I am glad the holidays are over!
