Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas with the McKenzies. Ross came to visit from San Francisco and Cookie grandma came to the house on Christmas morning. After our Christmas lunch, we went to visit Cookie grandpa in the hospital. He is doing better day by day, but he still isn't able to communicate, which is really hard for everyone. Still, he is able to say more words every day and speech therapy should start on Monday. We are still very positive about the chances for a full recovery. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime, we have many diversions at the house. Sloane LOVES her new doll house (which took poor Daddy Dan until 3am on Christmas morning to put together)! Dex is finally getting over his cold, so hopefully he can finally pay proper attention to all of his loot. Too many presents: it will take all day to clean this place up AND the kids didn't even get to the presents in their stockings. ha! I'll need to reevaluate for next year. Or, maybe Christmas will last until the new year!
