Christmas #1

Grace and Chance, loved babes, will celebrate four (yes, 4) Christmases with family this year. Right after Thanksgiving, we visited Grandad and Grandmother Baumgartner; Aunt Pat (Eric's sister) brought Gracie her very first baby doll! Our born nurturer (i.e., Grace) jumped right into role-playing with Aunt Pat. And Chance zoomed his new dump truck around the room. (Thank you, Pat!)

The tickle game (?). We cannot imagine what life would be like with only ONE baby now (yes, we confess that we occasionally wondered what it would be like to have only ONE during that first year) . . . they play together so adorably these days (usually but not always).
