Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful Christmas, and hope that you did too. Grandma Jean came to visit, and we all had a quiet and relaxing Christmas vacation.

Evan was definitely excited about Christmas this year, and he did such a good job opening his presents! We were a bit surprised, but it took him forever to open up all his presents because he would open one present and then play with it for a considerable amount of time before he wanted to move on to the next gift. Look at this--he spent enough time to put all of this train track together...with all of those presents still under the tree!

What a sweet boy. He's also been learning a lot about manners, so we heard "thank you" constantly all day. It's nice to hear!



He loved all his toys, but I told him to pose with this one so I could take a picture and this is his "pose". I love it! Thank you Uncle Matt and Aunt Nova!

By the way, every time he plays ("cuts wood", he says) with the chainsaw, he insists on wearing the safety glasses. Safety first!

2009 was great, and so far 2010 has been good to us...and I think it's going to be a good year! Happy New Year!

Hi Candace! When I look at pictures of Evan, I want to cry. He is the most adorable, cutest, sweetest little boy I have ever seen and I love him so much. It's like how you felt with Isla, and all the love you feel for someone else's child; that is how I feel with Evan. When I talk about him to people up here, I say "my sweet little Evan," always have, always will. Just wanted to let you know how much I love that little guy! I really need to come visit!! Love you! Holly :)
