Christmas '07...part 1

Hello everyone. This blog post comes from Indian River, MI, where we're staying the night at a lovely Holiday Inn Express (they just better have nanas at the continental breakfast tomorrow). We're on our way to the Lincoln Lodge for the Ferris family Christmas, via the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We're looking forward to going over the Mackinac Bridge tomorrow morning on the way.

By the way, Will's asleep right now - in order for Erin and I to avoid having to basically go to bed at 8:00 with him, we put his crib in the bathroom so he can't see/hear us. It's fun to reminisce about the last time we stayed in a hotel and used this technique.

Since we'll be pretty much in the middle of the forest for the better part of a week, this will be the last blog post until after Christmas. By then we should have tons of pictures and stories to report, which we will obviously do via Will's page.

To tide you over until then, here are some pictures from the Mueller/Ekena/Ferris Christmas we celebrated last weekend at our house. Merry Christmas and Love to everyone.

In the spirit of Christmas, Duke decided to be friendly with Will, and Will shared his presents with Duke in return.

Grandpa got me my first soccer ball!



Santa gave mom these sunglasses and Will made sure to try them out for her first.

Will's just discovered the joys of coloring, although he is terrible at staying in the lines.

Aunt Sara and Uncle Jeff got Will not one, but TWO singing fridge magnet things which were very well received. They both have lots of songs that can be played at the push of a button, to Will's delight.
