We had a Great Christmas vacation full of surprises, fun, and love.  It all started when the kids got out for Christmas break.  We came home from their mothers and had a nice night together with diner, popcorn, and a movie.  Christmas morning the kids were so excited to open their presents and Christine and I were very happy to find out that Santa had brought them everything they wanted and more.  Landon got his new Mario game  for the wii along with his Hot Wheels and Elizabeth got her American Doll dolls.  They played all week very nicely together and shared.  Then at 3:25 in the morning after Christmas we were blessed with an addition to our family, Josephine Noelle Cook.  This made mommy and me very happy.  Christine is a fine mother and is getting used to taking care of our little night owl.  Yes Josephine likes to sleep all day and stay up all night.  We know this will change as baby girl gets on a schedule but, I wish Christine would be able to get more rest.   Grammie came up from Florida and is helping us.  What a joy and blessing it is to have her in our lives.  I brought the kids back to their mother's last night and it was snowing.  On the way we played the eye spy game.  Those kids are very imaginative and fun to be with.
