Merry Christmas to All......

Sorry for the delayed post. Time just seems to fly by these days.

Christmas 2007 was just such a wonderful time. It certainly makes a difference when you share the holiday season with your child. James had no idea what was going on, but it was still fun for us..as well as the Grandparents. He absolutely loved the Christmas lights, the tree, singing carols on the way to daycare with Mommy, and of course all the wrapping paper! Not sure what he enjoyed more..the paper or the gifts?! In any event, he was certainly spoiled.

We spent Christmas with Poppa and Grammy Bathon in PA...as well as GG, Auntie Jen, Uncle Jason, Uncle Andrew, Uncle Tim, Uncle Dan, "GranDanny", & Auntie Talia. He received: Tickle Me Cookie Monster, Animal Train, Light up Ride on Airplane, Rattatouille, Bubble Lawnmower, Sports Center, Tool Bench, Bouncing Tiger, Light Up Rudolph,books, and about a million outfits. Mark and I were worried that we'd need to rent a Uhaul in order to get everything back to Chicago! Luckily, our SUV was packed to the brim, so we were able to get most home. We just had to strap Lenny to the roof. :) Just kidding.

A few days later, we celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Bucholz, Uncle John, Carter, Devan, & Luke. He then received a John Deer Tractor, Lincoln Logs, some adorable outfits, and much more! Thank you to everyone for making his first Christmas so special for him, as well as for Mommy and Daddy.
