Moving On

My plans to be caught up by the end of the year were derailed when we were asked to dog sit for two weeks starting on Christmas day. It was really nice to spend two weeks in a beautiful house, where someone else is payed to shovel the snow after a blizzard, and we are not paying for the heat, but it makes it hard to get much done. Ezra really loved Cosmo (the dog) and they played together quite well. He also really enjoyed their Little People Nativity set. One of the first things he did was unhook the cart from the donkey, hook it up to Mary and put the donkey in the back of the cart. I guess he felt sorry for the donkey and decided it was time for a little payback.

He loved to try to snuggle the dog, it didn't matter if he was laying down or not!

Our Christmas was very lovely, and it was so fun to open presents with Ezra. He was so excited about everything. When he opened his first present he got the wrapping paper off and excitedly exclaimed "little box" and then set it aside. It was so funny. I guess he could have been much less spoiled and still been happy. Mrs. Clause wouldn't let Santa put too much candy in Ezra's stocking, and it is a good thing because we spent the first ten minutes or so convincing him to get past the candy. Unfortunately we are still trying to finish off Christmas treats, and Ezra is eating way more candy than any human should.

Unfortunately we did not get a picture of all of us in our new p.j.'s in front of the tree,

 but at least we got one of Ezra.

Once he got past the candy he found some equally exciting fruit and toothpaste.

Thomas toothpaste of course.

 The majority of his haul. Some is not pictured and some came later.

We are very appreciative to everyone and their generosity.
