Thanks Everyone!!!

As you can see, Bradley had a jawdroppingly happy Christmas, thanks to everyone who gave him gifts. We don't know where we are going to put everything, but we appreciate it! Here Bradley is holding two of his favorite gifts -- his gorilla blocks and his baby cell phone (huge because it is the only one that has a display that lights up).

This is our first holidays without seeing family, unfortunately ... although we are excited today for Mark's sister Linda and her family to come into town for a couple of hours on their way to Florida. Next year, we are making up for not traveling by doing Christmas Chicago-style - and maybe New Year's, too (since there are lots of volunteer babysitters).

We spent the morning baking cookies and bread pudding then went to Dierdra and Derrick's house for some great chicken, lamb and other stuff. ... And for playing some drums!!!
