Thomas Opens a Pressie

Surprise! Thomas got to open a Christmas present early this afternoon!

He sure enjoyed pealing the paper - rip, tear, rip tear ... he used his little muscle-arms to lift and turn, pull and tug ... and with a little help from Mumma he was able to enjoy a new toy!  While Kathy snapped pictures, Ryan made us a little video - It's so fun monkeying around with this flip camera!!  These videos certainly are treasures, and will continue to be treasures to our little family!

We had a busy little day today, busting out of the house at 10 a.m. to visit Gramma Dorothy, where we were also able to visit with some of my cousins and their beautiful children .. even discovering that one little (second) cousin of mine is a birthday twin with little t!  After our visit there, we crossed the street to see Margaret's new home.  It sure is a beautiful little home! I am so excited to spend time in their cozy abode and beautiful back yard ... making many memories!!

After those visits, we went to visit Rick and Kathy for a few hours. T settled into a nap, Ryan and Rick ran some errands, I visited with Kathy while she prepared for Christmas day with family.  T opened up a little pressie, then we zipped back home to finish wrapping gifts (it never ends!) and enjoy some time with mom n dad.  I am excited to spend tomorrow with the family - all together in one space! Our family has grown and grown - it's not often we all end up in the same place at the same time!
