We spent Christmas 2013 up in Owasco with the Knauls.\u00a0 The kids got along wonderfully, and it was great to see them playing so well together.\u00a0 We even had a little snow to play in, with Dave and Tim alternating as “reindeer” to pull the sled, and just enough to make a little snow creature.\u00a0 With Graham and Zoe so close in age, they especially hit it off, except for some upset Graham had about the sled that none of us quite got.\u00a0 Apparently, he thought he owned the front of the sled.\u00a0 In any case, we were all impressed with how well the cousins did together.\u00a0 Remarkably, although Tessa is more than a year older than cousin Finley, we were amazed to see that the two are almost the same size!\u00a0 Finley must tower over the other two-year old girls down in Williamsburg, not to mention outsmart them! We look forward to meeting Finley’s baby brother or sister(hopefully this summer), due out in April 2014.<\/p>\n
We were also grateful to have some extra hands helping out with baby Grace.\u00a0 It seems there was never a shortage on that end, and she enjoyed her first Christmas (flashing lots of smiles!), as we all did.\u00a0 Hopefully, we did not infect everyone with our illness.\u00a0 Poor Graham had his first stomach bug in years the day after Christmas (and then followed it with another one a week later).\u00a0 Fortunately, it was short-lived.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
