Merry Christmas

This year we had a very uneventful (compared to last year) pleasant Christmas. All day long I kept going back to where we were last year, staying in the hospital recovering from open heart surgery. When the doctor's came in early evening and told us we could go home and enjoy Christmas. I remember thinking that was the greatest present of all. Even this year it just seemed like a blessing to be home. I don't think Christmas will ever be the same for us. Brodie woke up this year to a tree full of presents, at first he didn't seem to care, until we unwrapped one and he discovered that they were toys. After that he was all about Christmas. His favorite present seems to be a mini vacuum that Joe and I got him. He loves when I vacuum, for the past couple of months he follows the vacuum with a large ice scraper making his own vacuum noise. So we know it would be a hit.

Merry Christmas Little man

Unwrapping presents
Finally a vacuum of his own

If it only worked I would be a happy mama

Thank you Heather

I must say a toy bucket was a great idea Tina, all these new toys and now a place to put them

Daddy finally using his tools

Brodie now has his own private entrance to his room

We went to dinner at Brit and Gabi's. At some point the living room turned into a dance party for little girls

Baby Gabi took his first steps today

Brodie helped him to perfect his walking skills by pushing him around in the plane

I think they are going to be good friends, like a mini Jason and Jower

This year I made all the cousins blankets for Christmas
