Christmas morning was dry and sunny. What a welcome relief after days of straight rain. We gathered in front of the fireplace in the living room, pulled down Marshall’s stocking and let him at it. He was quick to focus on the wooden train protruding from the top of the stocking and promptly pulled it out and started playing with it. Forget about the red envelope filled with money, he wanted the train!

Ora and I took advantage of the lack of rain and went for a short walk. I had Marshall in a backpack and we took a brisk walk to try to burn off all of the chocolate, cake, and cookies that we had been eating. Here are some photos that Ora took of Marshall and I in front of our house.

Marshall loves “talking” on the phone. Grandma gave him a great phone for Christmas and he uses it all the time. Ora had finished calling someone and was getting ready to put the phone back in the cradle when Marshall got a hold of it. He occupied himself with it for about 10 minutes, pressing all of the buttons on the key pad. Sure looks like he’s ordering a pizza doesn’t it?!
