Merry Christmas to the Galactic Republic

Christmas cards are printed

Oh this is going to a good year. Our card (photo) looks awesome. You will be amazed.
If you don't get one from us send the Jedi mom an email and we will send you one (if there are any left).
I guess we can post one here. Stay tuned.

Happy Birthday Jongr!

This year Jongr enjoyed celebrating his birthday on Thanksgiving or the other way around whichever way you want to look at it. His celebration really started the week before school got out. Jonli, Jonev, and I went to school to eat lunch with him on Friday. The pictures in the lunchroom didn't turn out though.

He requested a Thanksgiving theme birthday poster, so the first part the letters are made up of food on Thanksgiving plates, thanks to dad's creative talents. Here are all of the kids for the traditional morning birthday picture.

The birthday poster generally has the number of the birthday on it, but we forgot to put it on this year so here are Jonli, Jongr, and Jontu holding up 9 fingers instead. It's hard to believe that our wonderful little boy is now 9. He can read large chapter books, loves science and math the most at school and can ride his bike too. He is a big helper at home also and loves cub scouts. It will be fun to see what this year will bring.

Since it was also Thanksgiving Jongr got to blow out his candle on his requested chocolate pie (he didn't want cake this year). Here we are at the Stucki's house enjoying the holiday with our cousins.
