We had a fun Easter. It started with opening a box from Nana and Papa...





Next our cousins from IL came to visit, we had lots of fun decorating Easter eggs












Easter morning was fun!

Blake turns 2

Blake turned two on the 10th. We had a party for him with family at Chuck-E-Cheese's. He loved it when Chuck-E-Cheese came by to visit with him. We also went to the zoo a few days before his birthday and took a lot of pictures.

February Snow and a New Cousin

We finally had some snow. Mommy stayed home from work and took Blake and I out to play in it twice. We built a snow queen and used the sled a lot.

I also have a new cousin. Dad's younger sister and her husband (Gretchen and Kevin) had a baby on February 9th. We went to see her and I got to hold her.

Valentine's Day 2012

Nana and Papa gave Lauren and Blake some gifts for Valentine's day. They were both excited and send a thank you and a big hug!

Jan/Feb Fun

Since there hasn't been any measurable snow this winter, we've played inside alot. Mommy and daddy haven't used the camera too much. Blake likes to read the catalogs that come in the mail. In this catalog, which is named after Mommy, he likes to point out the "be-bo's" (belly buttons). We also play on my bed, in the basement, and in empty tubs. We hope you are having a good winter.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Getting ready for Christmas was a lot of work. Blake is showing off the tree upstairs. Lauren and her friend Landry had a dance recital; the kids played in a box full of packing peanuts (it took awhile to clean up the mess); and Blake helped Vicki and Lauren make cookies.
