Gifts of the Magi

James and Maggie are tucked away all snug in their beds...three presents await them for CHRISTmas morning. We only give them three gifts, just as three gifts were given to the baby Jesus. We read the CHRISTmas story from Luke 2 and will sing Happy Birthday JESUS in the morning. We still do a side of santa and watched the Polar Express tonight...but most important is the baby that was born to save us from our sins...Merry CHRISTmas!!!!

Anywhere Chairs from PBK...A Busy Zoo activity center...

Elmo cell phones...programmed with each one's name!!!

Frank & Lucy are given three gifts, too. Geese, chew bone and a bag of Snausages!

I promise we've been good this year!!!

James and Maggie were very excited to visit Ho Ho this year! Maggie was a bit hesitant to begin with, but managed to contain her emotions long enough to snap the photo. They also wanted the Rudolph the photographer was holding...as to why they are reaching out in the photo!

Poses at the Piano...

James and Maggie both enjoy playing the piano at Mimi's house...maybe one day they will take lessons. Although, I really enjoy the pinging, bonging and banging...
