Around Christmas 2008

We're way behind with any postings - but we did have an enjoyable time around Christmas with family. Here are a few pictures.

I love the way little Jessie is looking at "Grape" Grandma Jessie here - teaching her a thing or two, it appears.

Elliott, Wesley & Spencer at Christmas time - I think Brad had a cute caption for this picture - something to the effect: Elliott was apparently praying, Wesley was doing his Superman impersonation, and Spencer was just totally cool. Actually, they were restless to get on to the next presents and didn't want to pose for a picture! These are shirts from Aunt Gail - from Papua New Guinea.

This was not at Christmas, but rather during a visit to her house - when Emma showed us her report on New York State - very impressive for a 5 year old. She's not going to let two older brothers show her up!
