Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 was absolutely WONDERFUL! We had a great time doing the Tesch celebration Christmas Eve (really mellow and not a zillion presents which was really NICE). Then Christmas morning I got a special treat; Matt drove the kids up to my parents and I got to run up there in the cool drizzle of a December morning. It was AWESOME.

Nora is starting to talk. She loves to imitate (or try), and her first words "Hi Daddy" were on Christmas Eve. Since then, she's expanded to "Hi There," "Dog," "Kitty," but still mostly enjoys her endless babbling monologue. She's started waiving Bye-Bye too! Amazing how rapidly they progress!

Oliver has become, thanks to Matt, absolutely obsessed with RC car racing. Matt rigged "The Red Car" (he won't stand anything other color!) to go in circles and he's insisted on waking up Daddy every morning since discovering this new passion to drive.

Here are some pictures from Christmas.....


What are they doing!?

"Bobbi" and the babies.

What a nice Big Broby to share.
