24th and 25th

I'll be doing the Christmas re-cap in a few posts, mostly because some of the pictures are still on the camera :)

We were all home on the 24th and Chloe went outside in the snow for the first time this winter. Kevin stayed outside longer than I did - I just snapped a few pictures :)

Here is Chloe all bundled up:


She really seemed to like being outside.....who cares that it's cold? :)


Later in the day we had dinner and then got dressed up for the Christmas Eve service at church:


Christmas morning! We opened presents by the tree at our house first.

What could this be?...

A new sippy cup!

Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa B's house. There was one present that was almost as big as Chloe:

It was a grocery cart and "groceries" for Chloe! She has had a lot of fun pushing it around and 'shopping' :)

Chloe got a lot of other great gifts too - clothes, a ball, bath toys, and this pair of slippers from Aunt Michelle's boyfriend:

We spent the rest of the day eating and playing the Wii. It was a fun, snowy Christmas Day! Next post? the 26th and 27th :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
