Boxes Rock! And more stories

We got Lucy a new carseat. It came in a giant box. The box is the best toy one could ever buy. Lucy goes insane when she sees it and even knocks it over on its side from inside like a giant hamster in a giant hamster wheel.

The other day when the family was at the breakfast table together, I left to get more coffee and Theodore said, "where did the fatten lady go?". At first we had no idea what he was saying and then Jon said, "Theodore, are you calling mom the fatten lady?" I came back in the room and he said, "There is the fatten lady". Well, we don't know where that came from- he certainly doesn't understand what he's saying, but we laughed and laughed! Maybe not such a good idea, since he may say it all the time now.

Christmas and Lucy's BD

Here are some pictures of Christmas. We have the Strommen clan over on Christmas Eve and Day. After lots of services and craziness, we managed to fit in Lucy's First Birthday. She got a cupcake which she sampled delicately and, after eating a bit, threw the rest overboard.

The kids got some great gifts from family. Theodore still loves singing "Jingle Bells/Jingle Bell Rock" and "Joy to the World" while he drums.
