Merry Christmas!

Hopefully Santa was good to you this morning... we've had an eventful Christmas day. It is officially the boys second Christmas, though we're sure they don't remember their first one :) It still doesn't seem as though they're ready for the whole opening presents thing. Luke got very frustrated early on, so we did our best to mitigate by opening all the presents ourselves and showing Luke how fun things were once the wrapping paper was off! Will enjoyed taste testing each toy as it came out of the wrapping paper.
We spent the day with Amanda's mom, Oma, who is living in NC while Opa (her husband Scott) is in Iraq. Not sure if you can read the blog, Scott, but just wanted to let you know that we truly missed you today and are so proud of you. Can't wait to have you back state-side.


Included here are some pictures from this morning. Now we're off for a trip to Binghamton... hopefully you liked the surprise, Papa Joe! Love to everyone, we hope that you have the opportunity to spend some time with your friends and family and enjoy the spirit of togetherness that Christmas brings.

The last picture on this post was the pic I took of Nate when he opened his only present this year... his much-desired, but not-expected Wii! Get ready for an invitation to come over and bowl!

New feature!

New feature alert! I have just added a widget to the side of this blog which allows you to subscribe your email address to a service which will email you when I post an update to the blog. Just like our CarePage! The email will come from my gmail email account - manda2mama@gmail.com.

Once you add your email address to the box on the right sidebar, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address that you listed. In the email is a website link that you must press to confirm your email subscription. After that, you'll get an email alert whenever I publish a new blog post. Cool, huh?!
