Trains and Cousins Galore!!!!

This year we celebrated Christmas in St Louis with the Heidemann's! It was clearly "the year of the trains" for Little Man #1!!! Jack received 3 train sets from Grandma and Grandpa Heidemann- one that goes around our tree, one for his beloved Thomas and Friends train, and another small electric one! He also received a Sing-A-Ma-Jig stuffed animal, a match box car, and some soft balls to throw around the house! This year Michael received a monetary gift and his very own Cardinals ornament. What a wonderful Christmas it was for both boys!

We are blessed to have such a wonderful family, not only today on Christmas, but every single day of the year. Jack had an absolute blast with his cousins. They all played so nicely and had some wonderful pretend trips to awesome locations such as Paris, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Kansas!

We also continued the tradition of Daddy having matching Christmas pajamas with Jack. I desperately tried to include Mikey into the Daddy/Son Christmas matching pj's, but it was very difficult to coordinate all 3 boys in a tight turnaround from Michael's birthday to Christmas this year. Oh well, better luck next year. However, Jack and Daddy did look very cute in their coordinating Superman jammies!!

Here are some photos of our visit to St. Louis with the Heidemann's for Christmas. All the kids were just darling, as always. I am so thankful for all of my boys this Christmas. And I am especially thankful for that the newest member has joined our family just in time for the holiday season. Life is just that much better since "Santa's Little Helper" has arrived......
