It truly has been the most wonderful time. Seasons greetings to all and special milestones for the Browns. First off, Mia has grasped all of her letter sounds and is in the beginning stages of sounding out words. This delights us so much and reading time has developed into an even more special time than before. Benjamin's language skills have exploded. He can speak in two and three word sentences and loves to identify just about everything! His favorite words still are: NO!, basketball hoop and Mia. Not to mention that this year the magic of Christmas has consumed us all. Mia and Ben are so into the Christmas Tree, lights, and Santa Claus. Lists have been made and posted on the refrigerator and stockings are checked often to see if Santa stopped by while we slept. This year, we heard that Santa was flying into the College Park Aviation Museum. Who needs reindeer when helicopters are much faster? We had a fun time at the museum making arts and crafts and we even got to meet Santa.
Our annual tree lighting was a great success. Even though it was SO cold, the kids had a great time and we had a lovely dinner with friends.
Daddy had a nice time on his birthday. Kim, Kristen, Laura and Marcy met us downtown for a surprise dinner at Alero (one of the restaurants we used to go to before kids). He had no idea that the Robertsons were even in town.
Mia likes stuffed animals again (this is a huge breakthrough- but as evident from the picture folks- we have enough!).
Mia, Ben, and Brad finally got to meet Avery Phelan. We feel lucky enough to have taken her out to her first dinner. We ate at Pacci's Pizzaria. If there's a cute baby and food involved, we'll be there!
Christmas at home was nice. We had our family Christmas present opening one evening after school/work and Santa even came early. You see, he knows when kids are traveling and makes a special stop before you leave!
Please stay tuned for many more good times in Arizona!
