Christmas 2010

Whew!! We made it through Christmas without anybody getting sick and the weather cooperated! Jeremy and Momma (Jackie) now have colds but seem to be getting better. Joshua is doing good. Dec. 19th we finally got to have the "family" birthday party for Joshua. Jeremy was sick on the 5th when we were supposed to have had it. The birthday party ended up being part of Christmas too, since Uncle Kelly, Aunt Roxie, their family and Brad and Sara couldn't be with us on Christmas Day. We all had a great time!! Josh got lots of presents and had fun with his cousins.

Christmas Eve was spent with Grandma H at her house. Grandma T. went with us, too. We went to Christmas Eve service at her church and Santa made his visit early and had left the kids their presents when we got home from church. Jeremy got an electric scooter and Joshua got a "manual" scooter!! Of course when they walked in the door, Josh went right to Jeremy's scooter and wanted to ride it!!! After that, we opened presents and played with gifts.

Christmas Day we ate dinner and then headed back home to host Momma's side of the family minus those mentioned above, for an evening meal and celebration. We had a great time with all of the kids, Joe, John, Cayden, Joshua and Jeremy. They all make Christmas so much fun!! We opened presents and played games until the little ones needed to go to bed. What a great day!!

Sunday was spent recuperating!!!!!!!! We shopped a little. Watched a little football and installed or put together some of our Christmas presents!! It was a great weekend!

Now Jeremy is home with Mommy (Di) who is busy with her online class she is teaching for intersession at KSU. Joshua is going to the sitter and Momma is back to work. We will all be home on Friday and then it's New Year's Eve and time to PARTY!!!

We will post pictures later. They haven't been downloaded yet. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and 2011 will be a wonderful year for you!!!

Dear Santa I want a.....

Yesterday I took the boys to see Santa while Jackie worked on cheesecakes. I was very happy that Joshua wasn't the least bit scared of Santa. Jeremy was thinking he was too big to go see Santa but since he is such a good big brother, he agreed to go so he could help Josh tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. Yes Joshua is missing a shoe and sock. Josh doesn't really think that shoes and socks are necessary so anytime he is forced to sit in the car or stroller for longer than 2 minutes he removes his right shoe and sock...then begins on the left one. We've considered duck tape but haven't resorted to that yet. On this outing we managed to keep the shoe but the sock was lost.

Can you see the orneriness in this smile? He may be an angel, but he defininately has an extra heaping spoonful of orneriness added!!

He loves his 4 wheeler!

He can drive it on his own, but there are things in our backyard that are paying the price, ie the shed, the slide, the steps!! He's hit them all!! He thinks the object is to run into objects rather than avoid them. He may be a demolition derby driver someday!!

It's hard to believe that Joshua is 2. Our baby is a toddler now. The terrible twos are here!! But he's our angel!! We love him very much! We are so fortunate to have 2 wonderful sons!

Joshua turns 2

Joshua turned 2 on December 2nd. We let him open presents and had cake. He really liked blowing out the candles. He did it 10 times!! We got him this electric 4 wheeler.

Here's Joshua eating his cake.

Jeremy got Joshua an airplane and some Little People DVDs.
