Passing time


Christopher Robin has been waiting for "forever" for Christmas to get here. To help pass the time, on Monday he spent the morning with his buddy Emery building towers.

On Tuesday and Wednesday he was busy putting presents under our tree. The UPS man delivered packages on our doorstep! Thank you Grammy and Poppy, Aunt Danielle, Aunt Katie and Uncle Adam. We are so excited to open your gifts.



On Thursday he built more towers.
Even ones placed on stilts.



He then hauled away the loads of snow that had fallen on our Christmas village.

That fortunately took the rest of the day!



And Friday, he cleaned his room over and over again.  That darn room just won't stay clean!

  He even helped his Dad change his sheets by sliding down the mattress and

by getting wrapped up like a present.


And little Gracie helped too!


and it sure has been fun. But now Christmas Eve is here.

In preparation, yesterday I spent the day scrubbing my house and today I am cooking.  I love the feeling that a beautiful and clean home brings. Tonight after Ryan gets home from work, we will celebrate the birth of our Savior. Tonight is a holy night. As a family we will read Luke 2 and reflect on the wonderful blessing it is to each of us that Jesus Christ was born.

Merry Christmas dear family and friends.

  2. Grammy Jill says that if you use that same mattress pad to roll up you AND Little Darl'n Rue, that you could get a box and punch some holes for air and lots of treats and get inside so mommy and daddy could give you to the UPS man and he could deliver you to the bat cave.
