thankful for so many things and just realized how much fun we are having with all our holiday gifts...love my new digital camera from steve (thanks hon - how did you know?!)...justin and nathan are enjoying their mp3 players and spend much of their free time downloading songs...colin loves his new lego airport and lego dump truck - i just love watching him build these masterpieces out of 750 pieces...the electronic dart board has been a big hit & now has found a home on the garage wall - we all have been practicing our skills - maybe a little tournament on the path is in the future...the tool kit was a big hit with colin (thank goodness santa read that late letter that we sent fedex to the north pole)...steve has been wearing his new jacket to work & i'm working on breaking in those cowgirl boots...othello is a fun new game around here - colin has mastered the logic behind it & now can beat me...just a little holiday recap.
