Christmas day
Boys, dressed up (briefly)
Here we are on Christmas Eve at Grandma's. Pictures had to be taken quickly before Sam changed into his new Power Rangers shirt. Andrew and I played a little concert for the gathering (and Ian did a little dance). Ian really was happy that we brought Bailey, and he followed her around all week talking to her as if she were a person. Bailey followed Ian too....to clean up any food he happened to drop.

Happy, Happy Birthday, From Red Robin to You!
Sam's birthday month wrapped up today, just in time for Christmas. We had a little celebration at Red Robin. Have you noticed there is an inverse relationship of age to embracing the singing waiters? Sam told everybody it was his birthday and even asked our server why they hadn't sung yet! We should all be so open to embracing celebration. (But those of us over 12 aren't, so please don't take me to a restaurant with "flair" on my birthday.) Sam's haul included a Red Robin mask, a free sundae, and a bowl of mac and cheese that lasted about 38 seconds.

Sam's 5th Birthday Party
It's really hard to believe, but Sam will be 5 next week. We had a party for him today at home, a baseball-in-December themed bash! It was fun for the kids, and we had a nice group of parents that stayed for pizza too. You might notice from the pictures that Sam started in his red baseball shirt, then changed after opening presents to his snazzy new Seahawks shirt. He also got a Seahawks hat, a Transformer and a Lightning McQueen car track.

Getting ready....
Here's Andrew's turn at cookie decorating, and our tree. Somewhere I have a picture just like this of Andrew from 5 years ago (Sam wasn't born yet, but almost!). He's gotten a bit more sophisticated in his use of sprinkles. The tree is a Grand fir, and was decorated last weekend by the boys. I've been subtlely moving ornaments around on it all week. :)
