Zoie and I spent a lot of time talking about Jesus and reading bible stories. She is so interested in religion and it was fun for her to really understand what it is all about. I returned a duplicate gift I had purchased for one of the Grandpa's shortly before the holiday and she told me that Grandpa wouldn't care if it was a duplicate because Christmas was really about baby Jesus being born, not the presents. I was very proud of her. She is growing up to be a young lady with a big heart.
Fun as it was, it is always nice to get home, unpacked and back into the routine. Well, except that I can't seem to get Kai to figure out that bedtime doesn't really mean stay up as long as you can stand it. :)
Ryan's mom always get the kiddos matching Christmas p.j.'s for our annual picture but went one stop further this year and managed to get the entire family in Iowa gear.....
One of Kai's favorite presents was a plastic razor. He watches Daddy everyday in the morning and couldn't wait to join him.
Look Mom...I'm a big kid now!
