Welcome to our blog. We're now blogging with the rest of our friends and family. It's addicting to link from site to site and catch up on friends we haven't seen for awhile. Our family had a fabulous Christmas holiday! Grace, who turned 6 in November, is growing up so fast. She and Mom enjoyed the Nutcracker, our yearly tradition with Grandma Higgs. Grace wanted an ip0d from Santa, but Santa and Grandpa Higgs didn't think that would be such a great idea, so she got a cheaper mp3 player. She now has earbuds attached to her ears most times and can be heard belting a number from Hairspray or High School Musical most days. She is an enthusiastic, smart girl, and a great sister and friend. Cade, our middle child, turned 4 on New Year's Eve. We celebrated with a trip to the bowling ally with friends and family. There was at least one adult per child, which worked out really well. We told Cade that the whole world has a party for him on his birthday, and showed him the party on TV. He was pretty excited about that. Our baby, Grant, who turned 6 months on Christmas day was just happy to be there. Because he's the third kid, Santa brought him practical presents like clothes. Even with an ear infection coming on, he still had a great time and was as happy as ever! I also put some pictures from our San Diego vacation in November.
