Joshua's House: January 2007

Uncle Karl's visit

Uncle Karl, Grandpa's brother, came to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see us. Aunt Scottie was sick and didn't get to come. They had given the girls the Only Hearts Club dolls. UK is seen here playing with one of them!

This was UK and Jack's first meeting too. UK had the magic touch. Jack fell asleep in his arms.

Grandma and Grandpa meet Jack

We went down to Josh's grandparents for Christmas. They got to see Jack for the first time.

"Don't even think about it!"

The girls enjoyed our trip too!

Christmas at Grammy and Papa's

This was our second Christmas of the day. The girls, of course, were very excited!! Jared and Stephen were pretty excited too.

Ella got a new "haus" backpack that she had to have on immediately.

As you can see from the next two pictures, the earmuffs were a big hit.

Grammy's ears got cold while we were opening gifts.

Jack loved his gifts too!

Our First Christmas

This was our first Christmas Morning at our house with just our family. It was a lot of fun. It was exciting to see the girls opening their gifts. Taylor said, "My tummy is exciting."

Both the girls were excited to see what each other got.

Ella loves to try on new clothes. As soon as she opened them, she put them on - just like my Dad. Hopefully you can see that I didn't help dress her.

Judging from this picture, who do you think is most excited?

And then there's Jack. He'll probably see this picture some day and ask why he didn't get any presents and why we love the girls more than him!

Cousins

Isaiah came over to our house while Christi was in town for the holidays. The girls loved it because they got to play outside!! Now that it's colder out, I don't go out very often, so they like it when we have company!
