Christmas was a little crazy this year. We went to Cedar Falls early because of the weather, and so did Sarah and John. It was great to see them an extra night. They got there after the kids had gone to bed. The morning of the 24th, when Sarah came out to the kitchen, Conor got up from playing, saying "Finally!" and gave her a hug.


Mary-Claire made it as well. She was only there about 12 hours, but I'm so glad she could be there. Ellie cried a little bit on the way home Christmas Day, because she didn't get to see Mary-Claire much. She has since told me that we "just need to visit Mary-Claire at her house". (Note: Ellie sometimes gets confused as to whether M-C lives in Chicago or Colorado, so I'm not sure where we'll end up).

It was a wonderful Christmas!!

Please note the Falcons pants worn over the red fleece feetie jammies. That is Conor's current outfit of choice. At night he adds his Falcons blanket.
