A wonderful celebration

Our last week has been full of activity and celebration. Here are some highlights:
  • Granny and Grandpa Schmidt were in town all week and were a huge help. Ty loved playing numerous make-believe games with them and Megan loved being held by them.

  • Tyler had his holiday show at school during which the whole class dressed up as angels and screamed a multi-cultural version of "We wish you a Merry Christmas." The words were "We wish you a happy Hanukkah, we wish you a happy Christmas, we wish you a happy Kwanzaa, and a happy new year." Tyler will now not let anyone sing the Merry Christmas version without telling them that they're singing the wrong words.

  • Ty actually sat on Santa's lap--a huge accomplishment after being terrified of him the past couple of Christmases. He whispered, "May I please have a Backyardigans' DVD?"

  • Tyler has memorized almost all of the words to "The Night Before Christmas". I guess it helps that we've been reading it since early November.

  • We had a great Christmas dinner with Granny and Grandpa and our friends, the Bushroe's.

  • We all enjoyed our best Christmas gift this year, little Megan Avery.
