Merry Christmas


We had a very Merry Christmas!! Our boys are at such great ages-- the magic of Christmas is contagious. Although we struggled to make it through the 7 minute Nativity video, we enjoyed assembling our nativity advent calendar during the month of December.
Christmas Eve included a 2am wake up from Landon because he was sooo thirsty. At 2:15am he was sooo hungry that Bruce went downstairs to make him a cheese sandwich. At 8am Ryker had to wake Landon up because he was so tired from his late-night escapades.
Landon was so thrilled with his gifts that he thanked Santa repeatedly over the next few days. Xander has put together his puzzles so many times that he wants to race Landon. Ryker loves to play with every one's presents. The boys have done a great job playing together and sharing.
Bruce and I have really loved spending quality family time together during this wonderful time of year. We are so grateful for this opportunity to celebrate the birth of our Savior and feel of the love it brings to us this time of year!
Love to you all! Jeanel

Jeanel, We are so glad you guys had a great Christmas. We were at chemo on 12/23 and they said you were there earlier checking to see if we were there so you could say hi. We appreciate that soooo much. Its are grateful to have a new friend who fortunately/unfortunately understands being young, with IBC, and having small children. We have not got to know you well yet but judging by your posts you and Bruce are awesome. We will put you on the list at Dr. Hansen's so they can tell you if we are there or not. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Love, Dan & Amber

For as fun as Christmas was as a kid, I never thought what it would be like as a parent. Christmastime with young children is SOOOO much fun!

I hope you are feeling stronger.

All 6 year olds must be the same! Caleb woke up several times in the night as well, but that didn't stop him from waking up at 5 am! Glad you had a good Christmas!
