What a great Christmas it has been. We started with a pre-Christmas trip to Chicago where we spent time with Michael's extended family. Sunday was quite a busy day at Great Uncle John and Aunt Debbie's house with tons of cousins. Joshua had lots of fun playing with Cole, Nate, Quinn, Madison, and baby Jack.
While toys and playing is fun - dessert is better. Joshua enjoyed the chocolate dessert made by French nuns - when it was gone he tried to lick the plate to get every last crumb off.
All weekend Joshua had a blast running around and playing with his NY cousins, Patrick, Benjamin, and Katherine. The one moment able to unite them all was a concert Nana's piano. It was quite a concert.
The night before we left Uncle Mango and Aunt Rebekah came over for a visit. We were so happy they made it. Joshua had a big hug for Aunt Rebekah and was full of giggles as he played catch with Mango.
Patrick was also happy Marc came to visit. He needed someone to play chess with, and we all didn't want to lose to a 6 year old. Marc, also a chess prodigy at a young age, was up for the challenge.
We hope you all have a avery wonderful Christmas, and wish you the best for 2008!!
