Monkey see . . . monkey do. Nathan is into imitating everything we do.

Christmas Afternoon

We headed over to my parents house Christmas afternoon to open more presents and eat dinner with the family.

Ho Ho Ho

Someone has been peeking!

We have had some wrapped presents under the tree for a few weeks now. Everyday, Nathan has been more and more interested in checking them out. A few minutes alone and we found this! Hopefully we'll make it to Christmas without everything being opened!

Nathan and His Cousins

Here's a rare moment . . . all the cousins together at the same time.

Visiting the Duck Pond

There is a duck pond at the park just down the street from our house. We visit there often to walk the trails, play on the playground and feed the ducks. There are two swans and about thirty ducks. Two of the ducks come to visit us at our house during the summer. They like to swim in our pool.

Nathan likes to throw the bread in the pond and watch the ducks fight over it.

Plano Christmas Parade

I woke Nathan up early this morning and took him out of his warm bed to go outside in the cold and watch the Plano Christmas Parade. We meet up with Nana, Papa and some of Nathan's cousins. Nathan enjoyed the marching bands and getting lots of candy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008! Nathan and I spent Thanksgiving at Nana and Papa's house. Randy was sick so he stayed home. We had a great time visiting with family and eating great food.
