The car bed!

Benjamin was pretty thrilled about the car,
until he discovered it meant it meant his hour
of cuddle time, before bed, was being cut.
Fortunately, we still manage to get him to
sleep. This is also the blanket Sariah
made for his big boy bed. Posted by Picasa

The Nativity

For Christmas Eve, we had dinner with some friends.
Benjamin was soon feeling comfortable with the many kids
running around. Here he is as our cow in the manger. Posted by Picasa

Tractors are cool!

Ben's expression in this photo does not express the enthusiasm he had for the tractor. He wanted to ride every single one he saw. Posted by Picasa

B's new coat!

Salema also sent this great coat.
It is huge and warm. Perfect for the chilly DC winter. Posted by Picasa

Race Cars!!!

Benjamin prematurely opened his presents from Salema. So I found myself buying batteries at 10pm so we could race his cars. He loves it!! Posted by Picasa
