It's a Christmas Miracle!

We hope everyone had a nice Christmas. We sure have. It was cold but no crazy weather like last year's blizzard that resulted in our heat going out on Christmas night and a dicey drive for Jay when he took the boys to the Utah Jazz game the next day. The kids were up early but hopefully now they'll settle down and get back to a normal routine. They still have a week off school and we have lots of fun things planned to keep us busy, not to mention just hanging out and relaxing.

The kids had a nice day. They watched a movie and played with their toys. Henry spent some time learning the ins and outs of his new computer games. Nana, Aunt Laura, and Great-Nana came for lunch and a fun visit. But the Christmas Miracle occurred in the late afternoon. Tessa and William were having a little skirmish and William overreacted and shoved Tessa down because she was fooling around with his Bakugans. Jay took him aside and told him that Tessa just wanted to play and that it might help if he invited her to play. He did and my, oh my, what a difference. They played together for quite a while; I think William even let Tessa win a few times on whatever game they were playing. They even decided to play together tomorrow morning. But the funniest thing was their conversation. It started with William saying, "You know, Tessa, I'm starting to kind of like you." And it became a veritable lovefest after that, culminating in the following:



If you didn't get it, William was cutting up Tessa's food during dinner. And they were discussing how much they liked each other. Tessa even bestowed the title of "My Favorite Brother" on William, which is high praise indeed.

Of course all good things must come to an end. William decided to watch Henry play on the computer and Tessa didn't like it; she yelled up the stairs, "You're not my best brother anymore William!" Still, it was nice while it lasted.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I love it! Any brother that will include his sister in the Bakugon game is a good brother!
