Joy to the World...

...the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

We spent 9 wonderful days celebrating Christmas in Michigan with the Richardson clan. Caleb is still too young to understand Christmas, but it definitely registered that he was the center of attention... and he loved it! 

Not sure who is going to enjoy the wagon more... Caleb or the parents
He loved the box that the wagon came in more than anything and so did we - it's not easy keeping a moving babe safe in a non-baby proof environment!
He had never seen a fire before and was mesmerized.
Playing with Gramps Christmas morn 
He's pretty pleased that he has his own set of keys 


There was one point in time when everyone in the room was staring at Caleb and taking photos:

He learned quickly that the "How big is Caleb - SO BIG" trick was a hit... even when we hadn't asked how big he was, he would thrust his arms into the air, which of course brought on immediate attention.

Love this photo of my Gramps and Grandma - sweetest people ever!


We discovered that he LOVES THE SNOW!! We all had a blast sledding in the back:

Tim and I stole away for a few minutes for a snowy walk through the woods. 


Another discovery we made... we have a future musician on our hands. Doesn't it look like he is reading the music and playing??


"Thank you ladies and gentleman! I'll be here all week."

We capped our time off with a little family rivalry: Tim's Vikings vs. my Packers. I would say I am a much better loser than my husband (when it comes to games in which I am not playing), so it's probably a good thing the Vikings won. Plus, the Packers will crush them next week, so it's okay :)

Sporting his new AP jersey... all he needs is an Aaron Rogers jersey now
