Hotel Swimming

Chris and I were happy to see that Maddie and Ty still love to swim.Maddie was kicking her legs and holding onto my hands.

She liked to go under too.

Ty loved to jump in! He would just run and jump and hope someone caught him!

kick, kick, kick

1, 2, 3, Jump!

back to jumping

Ty loved to dry off with the towels too. I can't even begin to count how many towels he used. Good thing we had the pool to ourselves.

Thank you to all that come to the game to support Chris. It was so nice to have all our family there and lots of friends. Also, thanks for all who sent their congratulations through cards, emails, phone calls, and texts. Chris feels very honored to be a member of the RHS Hall of Fame.

Christmas Morning

Santa made it to our house and left us some presents!

Ty's reaction...I had to hold him just in case Santa was still here!

While we were waiting for Kim, Jacob, Adam, Mimi, and Papa to come over we opened what was in the stockings.

This is how I found Ty's barbie later. Ken was hanging from his tool bench. Chris was so proud!

It was a perfect Christmas Day. Chris' family was here to enjoy it with us. We had plenty of time for Ty and Maddie to open and play with all their gifts since we did not have to rush off. Chris and I even took a nap when Maddie and Ty did!!

The Night Before Christmas

The night before Christmas (Christmas at 607 Garden Rd is on December 23rd!).....Daddy read us Christmas books.

So excited for Santa!

It is now 12:17 am and the elves have been scurrying around the house preparing for Santa's arrival. Just a few more things to clean up and then it will be time to go to bed!!
