By the Way...

I came across some more holiday photos on my camera. 

Do you remember as a kid enjoying the box more than the presents usually?

Natalie and Rocky working as a team to snag treats off of the ginger bread houses.  Those two...they are so cute when they get together, like having twins in the house.

Rocky's best bud gave him a matching Tonka truck dump truck for Christmas so they can go crazy around the neighborhood together.  I love how multi-purpose they are, a dumptruck and rock collector one minute, and a comfy seat for watching cartoons the next!

Rocky didn't want to let go of any of his Christmas presents, what a funny boy. 

Let me just tell you this Rocky boy is so into loving his baby sister.  I always find little presents he has heft her in her crib, like his most prized possesions.  His Incredible Hulk tooth brush, or he has a puzzle he likes to work on that has different action heros.  He named each action hero a member of the family, and the tiniest one is named 'baby'- i found the two puzzle pieces that make her in the crib the other day too.  I have been trying and trying to get Rocky to say 'I love you', and he just wont say it.  In fact when I first started I would whisper "I love you," to him, and he would whipser back, "I dont want it.." nice.  Anyway, last night as Joe was taking Rocky to bed, he said, "Night baby, love you." And that right there made it all worth it.
