Merry Christmas!

We had a fantastic Christmas this year. The kids finished school up on Wed., and brought home some special gifts for us. Gage made a handtowel decorated with a wreath made of his handprints. Savannah made a trivet decorated with a wreath made of her fingerprints.  On Christmas eve we had a nice meal of lamb and lobster ravioli with yummy pecan brandy bread pudding.  As we were about to sit down, Savannah came downstairs in her Christmas dress saying that she watned to look pretty for our special dinner and...she went into our closets to pick out clothes for us to wear for dinner. Mommy got a dress with red shoes, and Daddy got a shirt with red stripes and a red tie. We told her that she really helped to make our dinner feel more special by getting us all dressed up.  Christmas morning came around 6am -- Gage decided to "sleep in" that morning, but we were up and waiting for them at 5am.  Gage got lots of superhero gear and Savannah got lots of Barbie and polly pocket. Both got bikes.  We had our annual Christmas dinner of lobster, and spent the night making train tracks with the new Batcave and Batmobile "trains".
