Grandma's Here!!!

Oh happy day, my mom is here! I guilted her into changing her ticket and coming Friday night, since I thought surely, I would be having a baby today. Yeah. I know.

We are all thrilled to have her here and since she's helping, I had enough energy to supervise the Christmas decorating.



She is however, freezing to death, being from Arizona. She's been wearing her coat in the house or a blanket. I've got to find that woman a sweater tomorrow. It's the least I can do.



For the first year in the last 7, nobody has broken an ornament on decorate-the-tree night. Hopefully the first of many Christmas miracles to come this year.



Yeah, we know. He's nuts.



We did get to spend a lot of time with Jake this weekend, which was fantastic. I forgot how much fun he is. We need another Thanksgiving. (more turkey wouldn't hurt either)





Tate caught a nasty cold, which he has generously shared with Miles and Grandma, enabling him to stay home and play with Grandma two days in a row.



And once again, we got to break out the kid-friendly nativity. Grandpa Parker gave it to him last year for his birthday and it still has the magic touch. We brought it out one piece at a time while using it to tell the story of Christ's birth, and then they played with it all night.



Thanks again Grandpa.
