Christmas 2009

Every Christmas with Chasen just gets better and better! Despite the fact that he was an over-zealous 3 year old tearing into everyone's gifts, we had a great Christmas. On Christmas Eve we spent the evening with my parents. Chasen got a glowing magna-doodle which is awesome for in the car. He loves his regular magna-doodle and always wants the light on at night so he can draw, now he has his own lights! He also received several lego sets for us to step on, I mean play with! At our house Santa brought him gifts and candy (of course). His favorite gifts were the Transformer Mr. Potato Head and pirate ship. More potato pieces to step on! (Noticing a pattern here??) He also got some Buzz Lightyear pj's that look like the real outfit, which will come in handy with what he got from the Millers-Buzz Lightyear wings! He LOVES his wings! He's discovering life is a little harder being Buzz-fitting through doorways and around corners isn't easy for a space hero! But his mission is to bring peace to the universe and destroy the Evil Emperor Zurg, so a few scraped walls are all in a day's work! Of course Justin and I had a nice Christmas as well. We received several baby presents from the Millers and Auntie Joyce, so it was like Christmas and a baby shower all rolled into one! I can't believe in two days we will have Sophia! I'm extremely nervous and excited all at the same time!

On a sadder note, Justin's Grandpa Mag passed away this morning. We are very sorry to hear about this, surely at this time of year and before Sophia arrived. Grandpa Mag was a wonderful and caring man. He will be missed by us greatly and we will be keeping our Seattle relatives in our prayers.
