Chapmans and Kendalls Arrive! Sydney has surgery.

Little Sydney finally saw the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist yesterday to have her tongue clipped. Hopefully now things will go better for Nicole with the nursing. Poor Nicole has had all kinds of trouble and has been quite the trooper. We wish they could be here for Christmas, but it sure looks like they made the right decision to stay home. We can't wait to see you guys in January! Jack and Stephanie reading "The Christmas Jars".

The Kendall grandparents arrive to take Dean and his parents for the day. Sophie and Tessa are not interested in posing for a cousin shot. Tessa loves Baby Dean!

Grandpa Quincy finally meets little Dean! The partyers. We all went to Richard's staff party and scored this nice red balloon, besides lots of yummy food. We missed out on the Ipod, the Flat Screen TV, Blue Ray DVD player and the $50 gift cards. This is one of the beautiful Christmas Trees at the Legacy Retirement House. The old ladies loved Sophie and Tessa.

Josh's birthday dinner

Josh is almost 28! As he pointed out to Joni, they are the same age, cause when you get to the 20's you start counting in decades.

He doesn't seem any older, though he has started making Excell spread sheets for fun! I thought that was James' thing.

We did get a little while with Taylor, Stephanie's nephew, who came in and said;"Hi". It will be so nice to have 3 of my 4 grandkids here in a couple of days!!

2 Daddy Quincys

When Nicole posted this picture of Jason and Sydney it reminded me of one I took of Richard and Jason almost 30 years ago....

Way to go Josh!

Congrats to Josh and Meg! I hear that he successfully defended his thesis yesterday! Way to plow through it and way to go Meg keeping him at it and not complaining when he was never home. I love this picture, little Ava matches like she should belong to them! Its been a great first year of your marriage with some super acheivements! Josh is now officially the most educated one in the family! (At least until Dan graduates from law school in May).

The meeting of the cousins and Christmas onesies.

We got everyone together for the first time since Sydney was born for Sunday dinner at Jason and Nicole's.
Here's the 2 little Christmas onesie cousins.
