Guess what I got for Christmas?

A nephew!
My sister (who was due on January 8) gave birth to a nine-pound, 21-inch baby boy on Christmas morning! This is the second grandchild in the family. So we are all excited and happy here.
We had an excellent flight in; the only difficult part was trying to keep Hambet occupied during all the waiting part. O’Hare airport has a marvelous children’s museum where the kids can run around and pretend to run an airline, and that was extremely helpful. It’s cold here but not too snowy. My mother went completely out of control baking cookies. Hambet got a crane for Christmas and is having a blast.
Merry Christmas!

  1. Oh, happy news! And don’t let the comments about “how bad it is to be born in December” get to you, or them. We have a late December birthday, and it is just fine!! Congrats, and Merry Christmas (I can keep on saying it until Jan 6, and I will!)

  2. Congratulations on the new baby nephew! How cool is that?
    By the way, did Hambert get the crane that flies or the crane that lifts heavy stuff?

  3. Sparki, you are such a card 🙂 Hambet got a crane that lifts moderately heavy stuff. He likes using it to lift other trucks from the set.
