JP's first crack at decorating sugar cookies ...
With a eighteen monther and a ten day old in tow, we headed north for the holidays. Our first stop was to visit Grandpa T. 
Next we went to Grandma K and Grandpa A's house ... a full house for sure! 
On Christmas day we drove to stay at Grandma S and Grandpa J's house.
JP's response to meeting his baby sister for the first time will forever be etched into my heart.

JP continued to be fascinated with AA when she arrived at home.

JP became fascinated with my belly button ... but he had no idea what was inside.

JP was spoiled even more.
We prayed for a healthy baby ... and then waited.
