The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

...and don't these brothers know it!  They are truly in the spirit of Christmas this year.  Really understanding the concept of giving much more and excited to make and buy presents for one another and friends.  But of course furiously counting down the days till Santa arrives with presents for them too.  Our elf, Blue has been busy finding new spots to appear every day and keeping the behavior mostly in check.   With barely one week left, we'll see which one breaks down first to reveal their gift to each other.  Keeping secrets is a lot harder than you'd think around for these two.

Catching Up

Zak's birthday celebration concluding with his first airplane ride since the trip home from China.  We surprised the boys with a trip to Texas for Thanksgiving.  And what amazing travelers they were...they actually got invited into all four cockpits and chatted with the pilots and tried to push all the buttons...it was great fun.  Texas was a giant funfest thanks to Fairy Godmother Beth and Uncle Dan and all their Texas hospitality, fun planning and goodies.  Legoland, Turkey Day, Redskins football at the incredible new Dallas stadium, a zipline ride, a Chinese Lantern festival.  Zak has proclaimed that when he grows up he will be living in Texas and since he's already declared himself a Cowboys fan that should work out fine.  Next up Christmas...gonna be hard to beat after all that fun.
