CA

We all had a great time in CA. My mom gave Matt some tips on drawing. He was quite into it. Matt has a lot of diverse interests right now. He likes being wild and playing all sorts of pretend battles. He likes sports. But he also likes being quiet and drawing or coloring.Emery got a little bottle cap craft kit. She had a ton of fun with that. She also got a new princess suitcase which she has been wanting for awhile. She was taking it with her everywhere. The boys and girl got a lot of presents this Christmas. Every year I am torn about this. This year, they got to see a lot of relatives and so got a lot of gifts from them. It's hard to say "No" to the grandparents and relatives who want to bless our children, but it really does dilute the meaning of Christmas and Christ's sacrifice for us, you know? The dilemmas of fatherhood.There was lots of eating and lots of tv. Sometimes, they were at the same time.

There was also lots of time outside enjoying the fabulous weather. It was quite warm even for CA standards with temps around 80 lots of days. The boys played lots of games including the classic tennisball. Hasn't everyone tried to baseball with a tennis racket at least once?
