Next came a quick (as in only a couple of hours) visit from Grandpa Steve and Grandma Janet. They dropped off the car and then hopped on a plane to visit James in LA--after letting Jack open a couple of presents first! After church and setting out cookies for Santa, Christmas Day brought lots of presents and play time. We spent the whole day in our PJs, drinking coffee, playing with toys, making yummy food, and playing with toys more. It was a wonderful Christmas with just the three of us until baby makes 4 next year.

Christmas week finished with a good visit from Grandpa Steve and Grandma Janet, back from LA. Nike and Jeff worked short days while Jack stayed at home to get spoiled. It was a wonderful visit, especially needed to give us a break. While we love the independent little guy that Jack is becoming, we've been struggling with bedtime lately. Grandma and Grandpa provided some much-needed relief and even let Jeff and I sneak out for a date night. We were so busy having fun that we didn't take any pictures while they were here! But trust us when we say it was a great way to spend the holiday week.
Jeff and I were talking last night about where we were at this time last year--in Iowa City at the hospital with Jane, just after her surgery, trying to get a handle on what the next year of chemo and other scary things might bring. Just a year later we have a good-as-new Grandma Jane and a new baby on the way! We are so thankful for making it through a tough 2012 and looking forward to a happy and healthy 2013! Wishing you and yours the same!
