"Um-bah!"

Christmas was a bit late this year

"Thank you, Oma & Opa!"

We are very protective of the special stools that are ONLY FOR SITTING. Lilly likes to use hers as a drum, but Shawn is more traditional with his.  We tried counting the rings in the little chestnut box/lid, but ended up admiring it instead. Raj got excited about his hand powered radio/light/gadget charger. He & Shawn practiced using the flashlight around the house right away. I learned my lesson a few years ago to always check my stocking - whatdya know? More fancy jewels! :) Now that we have a yard, we'll definitely need some tutelage to start a garden with all the seeds you gave us...
