Merry Christmas! We will be heading to Arkansas next week to spend Christmas with my family, but one last post before we head out. Over the weekend, we got several inches of snow and took the boys out again for another sled ride. They seemed to enjoy it although Liam was still a little unsure of the big purple snowsuit. We also exchanged gifts a little early and I got one very special gift that John and the boys prepared along with the kind help of some friends at John's work. I told them they should go into business with Hallmark! Here is what they wrote:
‘Twas before we were born, when all through the house, No little ones were stirring, not even a mouse. The nursery was ready and decorated with care, In hopes that Luke and Liam soon would be there.
On January 11th we were snug in our NICU beds, While visions of alarms and wires danced above our heads. Dad was overwhelmed with us both in his hands,We soon came home and you met all our demands.
When out of our room there arose such a clatter,You sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the nursery you flew like a flash, To find us needing food, diaper or a bath. Back to bed it was soon time to go,Without a good book we would say no.When dad read to us four eyes would appear,Becoming sleepier and sleepier as the end drew near.

With mom pushing the stroller so lively and quick, Neither of us could think of a place we would rather pick. After some time out in the sun, We loved the water from moms fake squirt gun.
"Now Crawling! now, standing! now, Laughing and Smiling!On Furniture! On, Stairs! on, each other we are Climbing!To the top of the crib! and out in the hall! Now don’t look away! We’ll Dash away! Dash away all!"
When you took us out to see the Twins,The day was so fun we all had big grins. Even though the Minnesota Twins were winning,These Twins we were ready to leave after the 7th inning.
To make Halloween scary, Thing 1 and 2 needed no directions,We accomplished that with 3 new teeth and 3 ear infections.We love being Jokers, laughing, and playing in the snow,But when the LL Train comes barreling through, you're sure to know.
The twins group play dates make our day,But we are the best of pals far and away. For we found we are more than just brothers, We just can’t get by with out each other.
We love all the traditions you've already begun,Tubby time with Mom and going out for a run. One of our favorite is Sunday morning baby cakes, You're always so patient and don't care how long it takes.

We’re tucked in our cribs all nice and sweet, So Mom and Dad you can now rest your feet.
We both know we’re precious in your sight,"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
