A surprise visit!

Just as we were finishing up dinner tonight, we saw some headlights in our driveway. My cousin Joe, his wife Rose, and their son Knute were here with Christmas gifts! Ian was excited to open up a very special gift - a plate for leaving cookies for Santa. It came with a marker so he can write Santa a message right on the plate! He's already been practicing. He also got some chocolate and they both got stockings full of goodies. Molly opened up a book with her picture in it and a photo album full of pictures of our family. What a special surprise.
Thanks Joe, Rose, and Knute - you made our night!
