'Twas The Night Before Christmas...

...and not a creature was stirring except for the Frick Jrs. Of course, we will post some pictures of our wonderful Christmas day, but I wanted you all to know that we were enjoying the Holiday Season already. Jessica and I have been off since last Friday and we are loving being at home with each other and with our boys.

We are keeping busy, of course. We had an early Christmas celebration with Kathryn, Jessica's friend, who had to leave Alaska before Christmas. She brought the boys some presents, including a "dinosaur dig" for Kierin. It was messy, but fun for kids both big and little.


Some other fun things that we have done this week was dress up like cowboys. Well, actually, just Connor dressed up like a cowboy. He is really into cowboys lately. He carries around little plastic cowboys that I used to have when I was little. He carries three or four at a time, however many he can stuff into his little paws.


We killed a little time this morning and early afternoon by going sledding at Kincaid Park. We had a really fun time-it had snowed last night, so the hill was all powder that sprayed up as we shot down the hill and it wasn't too cold at all-probably about 20 degrees or so. Kierin actually went down the hill all by himself.


Finally, we came home and did the best possible thing you can do at Christmastime: snuggle with your family.
