Pre-Christmas Excitment!

It's almost here! Jack can hardly wait this year, which is making things alot of fun. As long as you tell him "Santa is coming soon", he's fine. If you say "Santa is coming in 2 more sleeps", he'll freak out, and cry that it's not NOW, and then throw the mother of all temper tantrums. Very thin ice!
Mark's sister and brother in law are hear right now from Edmonton. We're pretty sure the kids have all grown a foot! Jack was pretty excited to see his cousins, but you could tell that despite all my efforts he was a little bit confused. They're here until after the New Year, so I'm sure he'll be fine by then.
Here are a few photos...

Jack and Daddy building the Gingerbread House


The finished product...if we can only keep Jack away from it!


Jack and Hannah reading.


Will and Uncle Wad (Mark and I call him Rod)


Will and At Ora (or Aunt Laura as she is known to others)


Jack and his new Soldier Bear. Uncle Rod brought each of the boys one from Edmonton. The bear is dressed in the same camoflauge that Uncle Rod wears. Jack took the bear to school for Show and Tell. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. He's quite proud of him, and nearly ripped a kid's arm off for trying to touch it. Jack named the bear Uncle Wad.
