Merry Christmas!

This is the Christmas card we sent out this year. I just love the photos of Josephine!

We hope all of our family and friends have a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Chanukah!

Josephine has loved celebrating Chanukah this year! It's great to see her so excited about the holidays. We decided to give Jojo a book for each night of Chanukah. She's really enjoyed reading her new books and lighting the candles each night.

Baby Simon!

My newest nephew, Simon Mark, was born on Tuesday! He is a beautiful little boy, and Jenny and Eric welcomed him into their family through adoption. He is a true gift and the answer to Phil's prayers for a baby brother! We got to meet Simon (and his amazing birth mother) for the first time yesterday. Jojo wasn't too sure about her Mommy holding another baby, but she did warm up to him and give him a few kisses! :)

Christmas Tree

We went to get our Christmas tree this past weekend, and Josephine loved helping us pick it out.

She was very willing to help us decorate! She loves talking about the tree. She points and says "tree," "star," and "lights!"

We also gave her an early present: a Little People Nativity set. She loves playing with it! It's fun to see her so excited for Christmas this year!
