I didn't send out a single Christmas card. Nor did we put up lights. Instead Isaac Seth and I flew to Washington while Eric went on a business trip to Belgium and then got stuck in Paris. This is the second year in a row where Eric has been to France before Christmas. I said to him "It stinks that I am not there with you." Maybe he thought I said "I stink" because brought me home some fabulous Fragonard parfum. It's okay with me if he gets stuck in Paris again.
Christmas was great. E's family does Christmas right. Hats off to the Hatches. I love them. Here's a recap: Katie is adored by cowboy Seth. He would say, "Ba- -! Ba- -!" Giddy-up and back sorta together, and horse Katie would willing carry him on her back.
Seth through his arms around Great Grandma Hatch. I think it surprised and delighted her.
Seth learned how to walk. Hurray! Isaac was running within 48 hrs it seems. Seth Lincoln is more cautious. I am officially counting December 21 as the official day.
I really like these people.
Martin and Isaac had a fabulous time together...they ran around "fixing Mickey," playing trains, cars, little people, and everything they could think of. 
Amy caught Isaac "reading" the comics. He is always looking at Eric's TinTin comic books.
Crossword puzzle eh?
Angel Cindy and her dad Grandpa Hunt.
That funny face, I love it! Seth and Isaac loved looking into the balls.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...who really hangs stocks by the chimney on Christmas eve? The Hatches, that's who. I made Seth's this year (thanks Carol, for helping).
Isaac dictated what Eric wrote in his letter to Santa. My favorite line, "Can I have a ride in your sleigh."
Christmas morning! Everyone was up but Isaac. We had to wake him up around 7:25. Are you kidding me.
Super Seth and Super Isaac really are super. Seth walks around the house saying "Ba Man" even though it is super man cape not bat man. But we love it. He is super at making others smile.

Hurray for a happy Christmas. Glad to see you back...I noticed that we hadn't heard from you in a while!
hah! The old "stuck in Paris" shenanigan. Yip-yip-yippee for a fabulous Christmas break. Miss you all already.
maybe you think the Hatches do christmas right but I think it's wrong when we get together and your not there. I kept saying to Ben I miss having Jenny and Eric here. I'm glad you had such a good christmas, I will call you soon to talk because this little comment box will not do. Ahhh Paris, Eric lives such a glamorous life!
I'm sad you came all the way to Washington and I didn't get to see you. Oh well...there's always next time. I just read Katie's blog. Sounds like you guys had a fabulous Christmas. Makes me happy to know. Love you. ~JT
Oh dear, oh dear. I had just begun writing that and it really wasn't supposed to be "published." Oh well.
Oh gosh. Adorable little boys you have. And LOOK at those amazingly cute dimples on each of 'em. Looks like you had such a great time there for Christmas! I'm so glad.
And I so miss you, my friend.
