I want to brag a bit about Jim's handcrafted mantel.
Jim took a fallen Juniper tree from our family's ranch and took it from a raw piece of forest to a gorgeous and refined piece of furniture! I just love it!

O Christmas Tree! (I'm sorry, I still don't know how to flip vertical pictures!)

Here is a Christmas tree complete with our new Pennsylvania Flyer train set that Grampop deBeaumont sent for Jimmy and Henry. I'm sure it will be a Christmas tradition for years to come.

Here is Henry as baby Jesus during Christmas Eve service at Dody's church!

and us...

This baby is MOVING!
He's all over the place.


First he was just doing pushups and figuring out how to turn in a circle.
Just in the last week, he has figured out how to pick his hands up.
He's even pulled himself up a few times... like here on Christmas day at Papa & Ninis'...up on those tiptoes!
