Great Grandma Mary has been ill recently, so Maddie and Daddy played with Great Grandma & Grandpa's Play Tiles. Daddy loved playing with these as a kid at Grandma's.
By the way, if one of my brothers knows where the missing blue triangle tile went, let's have words!
Isaac loves playing puzzles these days! Have a merry Christmas - we'll have more soon.
What fun photos, yet again! We (Katelyn & I) loved the face paintings. So really awesome. Katelyn says that Maddie's p.j.'s look cute so she's glad they fit so well. The photo of Isaac and Oma nebing is precious! We hope to see you soon, at Christmas time. Hugs, Grandma Iowa & Katelyn Grace.
We enjoyed your pictures and hope you come back to Iowa soon! It's good to be home by my silver Christmas tree! Grandma Mary
What wonderful pictures! It's so much fun to see how the children are having a great time with all their cousins too. Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009.
