It may be some comfort to know that these toddlers don't really want to drive us crazy, they just want to understand how we work.

Early Christmas Celebrations









We had a really nice time celebrating an early Christmas in Neillsville with both of my parents. On Saturday we had a nice meal of delicious steaks that Tim cooked and the rest of the normal "trimmings" of a holiday dinner...mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, bread. Gage got to open up presents from his Grammy and Grampa "Shoe" (Shoemaker) and his Auntie Katie and Uncle Johnny.
On Sunday, my dad made a delicious homemade meal of scalloped potatoes and ham and corn. It was great, too! We ate a lot of junk and everyone seemed to have a great time throughout the entire weekend together.
Everyone has been really good about not going over the top with Gage during the holidays. He's spoiled with love and attention, of course, but he got two new Thomas the Train scooter toys (one for home and one for at Grampa Tom's), a new dump truck, some fun clothes, a jack-in-the-box and some other small things from the family. He was really good keeping his hands off of both of the Christmas trees, so wish us luck as we decorate our own tree tonight (I know, a little late, but at least late is better than never!)
