The boys' Christmas Tree

Michael was a shepherd in the church program, Casey is a two people to the left.

Casey hard at work

We were able to get two trees this year. Some friends of Carl and Cindy's had trees they needed thinned out. They had intended on using them as Christmas trees but couldn't use them fast enough. The said we could pick out any one we wanted and even get a little one for the boys. So we did. They love having their own tree in the rec room!!!

At least we finally got one with all 6 of us!!

I think we have reached a conclusion

And now it all makes sense. We have had some mild concerns about Michael and his color recognition, but after getting a note home from the teacher yesterday about what is happening at school we looked a little deeper. We found some tests online asked Michael and Casey what they saw in the pictures. Casey could see everything and Michael could only see one. Then we found the reverse tests. The ones that only Michael could see, wouldn't you know it, Michael could see the stuff.

Michael has a color deficiency. Now, where do we go from here. I have no idea. His teacher suggested going to the doctor, is that necessary? Hopefully my sister will be able to help me when she is finished with her errands.

Just realized that none of my videos turned out and blogger isn't being nice when I try to put more than one picture on. With the next package I will get better!!

Happy Birthday Grandpa George

It is my Grandpa George's Birthday. We miss him very much and loved every minute we got to spend with him. Even the stressful one :o) This picture was taken in June of 2007. It was the first time Grandpa got to meet Peyton. I never like taking Peyton over there, not because I didn't like seeing Grandpa and having him see him. Grandpa would start crying whenever he saw Peyton, all because of that red hair. It reminded him of Grandma.

Thank you

Grandma Rutter was kind enough to "mail" (leave packages at our house that I am to tell the boys were mailed) to open through the month of December.
Don't worry Mom, I got pictures of the whole process. Just need to load them onto the computer.
More pics to come soon!

Grace's shirt says
I don't need mistletoe to get kissess

Oh so true!
