Merry Christmas to you all!!

We are having a fabulously lazy day, watching our new LCD TV, bought for us by my brothers and dad...I guess they thought we needed to enter the 21st century, the 1984 painted TV wasn't cuttin' it...and playing with all of Rowan's new toys and books... We feel so blessed to have both of my brothers here for a week of "uncle" time with Rowan, and also to have Mike's family coming over on Saturday to celebrate with us...Rowan thinks that he has 2 new dads now, and calls both Jason and Doug, "dada". It is pretty cute to see them play with him...Rowan got his own armchair for Christmas and a big pooh bear, bigger than he is...he also got a wooden train and some great books about Redwood Forests, rainforest and tractors from his uncles...oh also one about animal mamas have baby animals in their tummies, maybe he'll get it? He is also loving his new Little People car garage with a car ramp....What fun to be 1 year old on Christmas...hope you are all healthy and happy.

Anyway enjoy the pictures.... watching the zoo lights show at the Oakland Zoo
