Christmas part 2 and New Years!

We had our second Christmas in La Crosse, with the Morses. We spent the majority of the time watching Elaine "kitty hunt". We opened some great gifts, and rang in the new year with family. Here are some fun photos from our trip!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas part 1 was in Peoria with the Frosts. What a great time we had! Here are some happy festive photos of great times with family!

Play date at the Grefes!

We had a great time over at the Grefes on saturday enjoying their toys, playing with Alivia and Bridget, and chasing Biggie!! Here are some fun pictures. Apparently red was the color to wear!

Ornaments,snowmen, lights, oh my!

Elaine has enjoyed every second of preparing for the holidays! Snowmen decorations in the house, the tree, lights, ornaments within grabbing distance, books filled with new stories, and jingle bells! She tries to say Santa, which comes out "Dahtah" and is still working on her "ho, ho, ho". It sounds more like a sneeze or a partial laugh.

We enjoyed dinner at Jethros, where she loved the lights, TVs and crayons, not to mention the sweet potato fries. We checked out the new spray ground that has recently been installed at our park, and she already loves it! We also finally tried out a bath toy from her aunt Amy and that was a hit!

Can't wait until Santa comes to town!

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving in La Crosse. Elaine wore her feather crown from daycare on the car ride there and enjoyed kitty chasing, turkey,lots of love from grandma, grandpa, aunt Amy and uncle Dan, and the kickoff to many Christmas traditions. Most exciting news is that Amy and Dan are expecting! They are due June 6th and we are SO excited!
