Sledding with Grandpa (Papa)

Christmas Card

This is a copy of the Christmas card we've been waiting years and years to send.  It was surreal to finally see it in living color.

The Best Christmas Ever!

Ariana loves her new kitchen and spends lots of time each day cooking up a storm.    Mommy and Daddy have eaten a lot of plastic food and air.

Two new babies moved in and she's especially fond of this one's "binky."

After a nap the party moved to Grandma and Papa's house where she opened everyone's presents.

Even though she was still playing with her new toys at 11:00p.m. the next day we got up early and headed to the Twin Cities for round 3 at Grandma Judy's.  On the 28th we headed back home where Ariana's much idolized cousin Brice and her fabulous Aunt and Uncle spent some time at their cottage near us.

The boat pulling has become somewhat of a ritual whenever these two are together-so cute!

22 Months Old

Today Ariana turns 22 months old.  We can't believe how quickly time has passed or that she'll be two in just 8 weeks.  Every day we love her more than the day before.
