Joshy really does enjoy that piano - I wish we had one...someday! He can tell you what a lot of songs are now just by hearing the music, and he's quite good at singing Jingle Bells and Silent Night, as well as a bunch of non-Christmas songs. I have no doubt he'll continue to be very musical.
(Almost) everyone waiting to go out and get started on the stockings.
Joshy opening one of his stocking stuffers - number magnets to join his letter magnets on the fridge.
Joshy playing with his new blocks from Aunt Tawnia, under Allie's careful observation.
One of his newest skills - giving the "evil eye" - was perfected over Christmas dinner. Gotta love the reindeer bib.
Stevie loves Joshy, and Joshy loves Stevie, and Joshy loves that gigantic bunny from Aunt Kissa-Wa too. But he loves Stevie more.
Joshy and Allie playing with Allie's coolest Christmas present - her little doll that pees and poos in a toilet that flushes...seriously this is a hilarious toy. One night when Stevie was in the middle of getting dressed, he sat down totally naked on the little potty - that cracked me up. Joshua tried it too at some point, but he had his clothes on, and couldn't quite keep his balance. Allie's hairstyle was inspired by her little peeing and pooing doll as well. What a nice addition to their family. And Allie is wearing Joshua's shirt in this picture.
Pretty much every picture with these two in it is priceless, but I especially love this one. I hope they stay good friends as they grow up!
Sharing some goldfish.
We had a very nice Christmas - it was my very first Christmas (in 25 years!!!) not being with my family on Christmas day, so that was hard...especially not knowing quite when we'd be able to get our little car through the snow to get up to Washington, but we did have a very good time. Having all these little kids around makes Christmas special in a different way, ya know? Being the youngest generation in my extended family gave Christmases a different feeling for those several years before this next generation came along. I really love seeing Joshua enjoying the holidays.

Aw, your little guy is so adorable! Don't you just love watching kids interact? They can be some of the neatest exchanges to witness. He is growing up, too! I can't wait to watch him as a big brother. I hope he is healing well! Now that the holidays are over we need to make a point of chatting sometime soon! Miss you and love you!
