Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve to all, here at our house we are having a pretty laid back day. Grandpa Mc and Uncle Kevin are watching WWII shows and making observations. Grandma Mc is doing a little sewing. William is dry mopping the concrete basement floor, I am updating the blog and drinking my favorite Chai Tea Latte. Adam is hanging out with all, moving from area to area as his attention span wanes.

William has increased his helping power and learned to clean carpet spots this past week, though I think he had more fun putting the sponge in the water and squeezing it out than actually cleaning the spots.

Proud of his sponge and enjoying helping Momma.

He really loves being involved with all we do and we try to encourage it as much as we can. On his list of things to help with...

- Get mail from the mailbox
- Wheel out the garbage bins and back in when empty
- Water the plants in the house
- Sweep and Mop
- Make cookies
- Turn on and off lights
- Open and close the garage door
- Make Murphy's food
- Give treats to Murphy
- Put out bird food in the back yard
- Folding laundry (well at least shaking it out)

We had our friends Ryan, Suzy and Julianna over for a visit Friday morning. Julianna and William played well together and had fun with their Christmas present exchange. Julianna was checking out William's hat and got him started riding his airplane again (but he is getting a bit big for it).



Have a Merry Christmas with family and hope Santa brings you your heart's desires.
