Picture to follow, but here's the official "Zeller family Christmas Card":

Christmas 2006 is here;
we wish you joy and a happy New Year.
The boys with their toys and our home full of heart,
Pray that next year, for you, brings a fabulous start.
And we're hoping that next year for all will be stellar,
And are pleased to share bits about each happy Zeller.

Will, who is six, is the oldest of three,
And a most caring brother who's kind as can be.
He loves his school, and Star Wars, too,
And nearly everyone hears what light-sabers do!
He loves to build Legos and K'Nex just fine,
And plays chess with his dad for much of the time.
Then there's collecting quareters, and trophies, too--
For he's a green belt in Karate who loses to few.
He's growing so fast, and that's the truth;
He's even lost baby teeth (so far it's two).

Then there's McKay, who is four-years-old Cool.
He's started his second fun year of preschool.
Where "my teachers love me" and artwork all shows,
That this loves-drawing kid is the next Picasso.
He discovered pirates be the best this year,
And he'll pillage yer peanut-butter if ye have any near. (arr!)
He loves airplanes and knights, and his "go-Buckeyes" bear,
And Mickey's Club House is the best, he'd declare.
So if you're coming to "ours house" maybe he'll share
A jar of PB and his best pirates-gear.

Now that rattling and shaking and bouncing you hear?
That means that Tate Ramsey Zeller is near.
This bounciest-bouncer who bounces a lot,
Is powered by joy that runs five-million watts.
As he dances and bounces to the music he loves,
He extends his arms to give all a big hug.
His favorite words are "awesome" and "cool,"
Which his brothers appear to be through and through.
And he has one thing up on his brothers two--
He had his first plane ride,
Now, isn't that "Koo"?

Now dad toots his horn and keeps plugging away
At the work that works out for him every day.
And mom's just the best that a mommy can be
(Just ask the Zeller kids one, two, and three).

And then there's our turtle who just barely made it,
And no one remembers, "Has anyone fed it?"

So that's about it, we're all out of rhymes,
The next issue will come around some other time....



MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my friends on TM.

Kindest regards, Richard Z.

That was great! I have three boys also (8, 6, and 4). It's amazing how similar the interests of little boys this age are. Thanks for writing that, and Merry Christmas!
