My brother, Caleb, came down from New York for President's Day weekend. He tended for us while Scott and I went to the temple. When we got home, we discovered they had spent their time well and decorated a President's Day tree. They had put up the Christmas tree and decorated it with flags and pictures of the presidents.
I asked Caleb why this guy was frowning. He said they had looked up pictures of the presidents on wickipedia and they were pretty serious in their pictures. This is Maren's interpretation of that.
Know what happens when you put up a President's Day tree? George Washington comes and leaves you presents. I don't know if you have to live by D.C. for this to work or not (or have an Uncle Caleb visit), but your kids might want to give it a try.
The kids were really excited. Lydia loved her new big puzzle, Maren can't wait to try some experiments and Martha Ann enjoyed her book.
Caleb was great to play with the girls while he was here. They built a balloon volleyball court with one of the couches and even had tape lines on the floor. Thanks for the great President's Day Caleb. You're welcome to come visit anytime.

geez, that's one creative babysitter you have there...a holiday, a history lesson, presents, and volley ball?!?
Doesn't get much better than that!
Wow, do you want to share Uncle Caleb? I'd love to have a sitter like that!
and adding in the valentine's day bash with chocolate, balloons, and beanie baby puppies furnished by Scott, and the educational tour of historic Gettysburg, the Harris family is clearly finishing out East Coast excursion #2 with pure awesomeness.
Wow! Caleb's talents continue to amaze me. Now I know what Justin means when he says, "we could really use a Caleb right now to organize some games"
What a fun surprise to come home to! I am glad you guys were able to get away and go to the Temple!
What a great visitor... Caleb is just the best kind of brother....
