It's Christmas time!!!!!!!

The Christmas season is up and running here at the Tempel's.  We were completely decorated as of the first weekend in December (mostly because we had an open house on the 4th).  The house looks beautiful!  We heard yesterday that we might have a nibble, but they have to go to the bank.  Cross your fingers, pray to St. Joseph, wish on a wishbone....please pray that we sell!  We haven't found the perfect house to move to since our 1st choice sold, but it is out there. Besides selling the house and decorating it, we have all had tons of fun.  Our elf has returned!  Gwen was so excited you would have thought it was a celebrity--she threw down her nebulizer, shut it off, and starred at Dory like it was the most amazing sight ever!  So cute!  Wyatt doesn't care about Dory, but he loves the doors on our Advent house.  Ornaments keep going missing, but we know who is moving them around.  We also enjoyed our very first Preschool Christmas Program!  Gwen did awesome and loved every minute of it!  Wyatt has also celebrated his 9 month birthday and has officially been discharged from Riley's caseload!!!!!!  I can't believe all this little guy went through in the beginning, but I am so thankful it resolved itself and Wyatt doesn't have to be a patient of theirs anymore!  We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and hope that you are able to enjoy this time with your family and friends.  We love you all!!!!!!!
Gwen discovered the meaning of mistletoe...hugs!
Dory is back!!!!!!!
Pooka's early Christmas present ...not so much a hit.  Sorry Sophie and Buzz, but Pooka won't be joining you in this fashion statement.
Our first preschool program!  Gwen and Grace were so excited and did such a great job!
Gwen did so much better than I did!!!!!!  She sang all the songs and did all the motions!!!!!

Gwen singing away!  So good!
Hurray Santa!!!!!!  Our fear of the Jolly guy is over!
