Grace!

Eli's been taking over our blog...so here's Grace! :)

Here are some cute pictures of our little guy from today! Realized he's 5 weeks to the day...so I guess this is turning into a 5 weeks update! :) Eli is doing great! Sleeping now a nice 7-8 hour stretch through the night! (Which makes one less tired and happy mommy!!)

Daddy's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

(Eli didn't think a photo was really necessary for the occasion...)

First Christmas!

Here's our little guy on his first Chrismas!

Snowed In!

After getting 18 inches of snow we didn't get to make the trip to Uncle Curt's house to spend the day with family. We experienced the biggest Minnesota snowfall since Halloween '87! (Lucky us!) Others at church were snowed in as well...so we ended up spending the afternoon in Waconia with friends from church! I just took a few pictures... (shocking I know... :)

Dave enjoyed Rockband...

Jen and Eli!

Christmas Morning

We woke up nice and early before church to open presents...

Starting the morning with a kiss! :)

Grace was excited to open her presents!

Opening another gift with her new buddy Elmo!

Eli watching his sister and thinking how wonderful next year will be when he gets in on the action! :)

Playing with new toys!

Christmas Eve

We enjoyed a quiet and very snowy day here in Minnesota! After church we relaxed at home and waited for daddy to get home after his three services!

Ready for church!

Making sure baby bro was ready too! :)

Eli chilling with Daddy as he goes over his Christmas Day message...

Snow Snow go Away...

Experiencing the snowiest Minnesota Christmas in decades...jealous?? :)

And it's still coming...

1 Month

Hard to believe that Eli is already one month old! (I'll probably say that every month!)

He's been a great baby and has started to sleep a nice six hour stretch each night! (YAY!)

Ready for Christmas...

Here's Eli sporting his Christma tree hat made especially for him by Grandma Larson...

Thanks Grandma! :)

Snug as a Bug...

Out and About

In this crazy Minnesota coldness it was nice to get out of the house today! Never thought the day would come again when 20 degrees seems nice! After seeing Grace's buddy Santa...we brought her to the indoor play area at our gym!

Giant play area = fun!

Tubes!

Climbing all over the place with daddy...

Going down the slide...

Fun in the ball pit!

Picture with "Santa"

This is what Grace thought of Santa and Mrs. Claus....

Future Cofffee Addict?

Here's Grace taking a swig from our (empty) coffee cup!

Eli's Baptism

Today we celebrated as Eli was brought to the waters of holy baptism! Dave's parents, sister, and brother-in-law were able to fly in for the weekend. We loved having them here for the weekend...although their time here went by so fast! Heather's parents and three of her four siblings and their families were able to come celebrate the day too!

Gracie and baby bro Eli :)
