Before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve! 

It was actually our first without extended family around, which in the beginning was a little sad but it turned out to be a really nice day. 

We started off with a friendly family basketball game down at the church--
man, did I feel out of shape!

Then had a nice simple meal together.

Before playing with a new gift from Auntie Heidi--the game Big Mouth!!

At first we put the mouth pieces in wrong, which was really quite painful.

Finally, we opened our Christmas Eve gifts






Including this super cool one from Grandma Loo!!

The next morning, we relaxed around the house and enjoyed each others company.



Another great Christmas! Can't think of a better way to celebrate such an important day.

Another little miracle, Joseph Benjamin Dueck , arrived in our family September 5 th , 2010 at 3:23pm. Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
