Winter Days

Suriving another cold Wisconsin winter with fun indoor activities:
Snuggling with a friend

Watching Daddy clear snow

Talking on the phone

Hanging with Daddy

Deciding what to wear

How about just boots?

I'm ready to go

How about this little number?

Favorite snack - Nillas

Nillas on the fireplace - an area mom and dad keep telling me to stay away from - I listen so well

Boredom has set in

don't worry, those outlets are covered

Playing with new toys

Let's go horsey

Christmas 2009

We stayed in Wisconsin for Christmas, spending both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with family at the Kneepkens' house. Three weiner dogs and a 16 month old little girl make for lots of excitement. Addison seemed out of sorts - she was crying and crabby, which is not her usual behavior. The day after Christmas we took her to the pediatrician and it turned out she had an ear infection the entire time. All things considereed, she still enjoyed her Christmas - as did we all!

Christmas Eve dinner. Zach made LOBSTER - yes, you heard right... having a professional chef as a brother-in-law ROCKS

Matt's Birthday... in December

We celebrated Matt's 31st birthday (it was December 16th) at home with my family. A fun evening, hopefully for Matt too, since he did the cooking!
