Foam Swords and a Footstool!

This was the cheap entertainment at Great Grandma's house. Do you think they would have this much fun if we told them to play on that footstool?

Christmas is a 2 dollar foam sword fight!

It always seems that those last minute toys are the hit of Christmas. After all the packages were opened and all the paper waded up and thrown away. The kids received their final gift from Grandpa and Grandma... Foam Swords. For $8 they were the hit of Christmas. Makes you wonder if all you got them was a foam sword would they be just as happy with it?

Merry Christmas Jon & Kate

Jonathan got a Nerf skin for his Nintendo DS.

New Bikes for trail riding this summer!



The kids were very excited to get new bikes. They are excited to try hand brakes versus the back pedal breaking they are used to. I'm excited to ride the trails with kids on good bikes.


This Christmas at home with the kids was wonderful. What a magical time of year. I try each year not to let the "commercialism" of Christmas get to me, not an easy trick anymore. I think as long as I live I will "Believe" in the magic of Christmas, in Santa Claus, in the anticipation of opening packages and the smiles and excitement that coinside.
It is also a time to remember the miracle of "everyday" life, and the greatest gift God gave to us his only son. Just as much as the Christmas part makes me feel magical, I feel spiritually blessed by the life and family God has given me. I thank God for all of the wonderful parts of life and the journey I am on.
So I hope each of you had a Magical Christmas, I hope you "Believe" in the spirit of Christmas.

I hope all of your days are filled with Hope, Joy, and Peace.

And I hope that you too have a life you thank God for each day.

Thank you Santa!!!

They must have been good for goodness sake!!

Santa came and brought the goods!!!
Jon asked for the Black Nintendo DS.
