Due: March 15th, 2006

Merry Christmas!

We spent Christmas in Arizona--actually, Emily and Isaac spent almost the entire month of December in Arizona and Kyle joined them for the last 10 days. The weather was sweet! Isaac had so much fun playing outside with all his cousins. We especially enjoyed the Christma party with all the cousins. We planned on singing twinkle twinkle little star for our family talent (Isaac's favorite song) but Isaac insisted that he needed to "dance" instead and proceded to jam to the tunes of "up on the house top." He was a crack up!
Christmas was a success with minimal sickness (excluding uncle Brian--so sad home from the mission and sick as a dog on Christmas morning). Isaac took his time with his gifts, savoring and playing with each item until he figured out that the presents kept coming so he started to unwrap a little more rapidly. We think he was a little overwhelmed with all the gifts and his definate favorite was his sucker in his stocking. He looked pretty spazzy in his Christmas tie and coat. Check out all our Christmas photos on the widdison webshots link.

Beach Bums in December

In December we took a trip to California and spent some time in the sun. Kyle's parents joined us and we all had a great time. We took our Christmas card pictures and Isaac did amazingly well as we popped teddy graham crackers in his mouth between shots. We all tried a fun little sea food place (Emily chose chicken instead of fish). Emily is proud to report that Thrifty Icecream (the best icecream on earth) is still tasting great. Isaac absolutely loved the water and was "o.k." with the sand. We would love to enjoy weather like that all year round!!

Fall Fun

This fall we did all sorts of cool stuff. We tried to take some nice fall pictures of Isaac, but Isaac decided it should be a silly photo shoot instead. We also visited the Dupage Children's museum and had a blast. We tookadvatage of the cool weather before the freeze set in!

Thanksgiving

We had our very own little Thanksgiving this year. Kyle figured out the Turkey and Emily did the rolls and other trimmings. Isaac ate rolls and then more rolls and continues to ask for rolls each morning. We missed our big Thankgiving celebrations with our families but enjoyed our Thanksgiving with just the three of us.

Here we are!

Here we are! Finally we have a blog--been thinking we should get one for a long time.
