Christmas

This year we celebrated Christmas Eve with Michael's side of the family and Christmas day with my side. Our little family on Christmas eve: baby sister looks like she's almost here! At least I feel that way. . .
This was a gift from uncles Josh and Jared--a big hit! It is actually battery powered and Luke can drive it himself. He will need some supervision because it has already become clear that he lacks the judgment to successfully operate the machine independently!
Happy Birthday Jesus! We added to the tradition of my mother's coffee cake by making it into a birthday cake. When the kids are older we will involve them in baking the cake. We want to keep our focus on the Savior's birth!(of course we had to have one of his new trucks on the table with us!) I failed to get a good picture of his gift from Nonna and Doc--a ride on front loader. He was thrilled with it. I did get some video, so when I sort through it I may try to post a clip.
Merry Christmas!

I love you guys. It was great being with y'all on Christmas Day. If Lke went to A.I.M.S. for his aptitude tests today, you think they'd advise him to go into construction? I'm sure things will change, but this phase is really fun. Kim, keep on pressing on. You're almost there! ~Robby

What a beautiful family! I have really enjoyed your recent pictures. I'm glad some of the pics were of you and Michael! I have been in the valley since Dec. 22nd and shared the photos with my mom. She loved them as well! I hope you all have a blessed new year! Please say hello to "Nonna" & "Doc" for me! Love, Jaime

Kim,
I couldn't figure out how to e-mail you back, so this will have to work. Yes, Kyle is a dentist and my brother-in-law. He went on to graduate from prosthedontics school last May. How funny that you know him!
You are going to love having two little ones to love on. Can't wait to hear that your precious girl has arrived!
