Hi Everyone, sorry its been so long since I've posted, we've been busy getting ready for Christmas! Mom finally got all of her shopping done, we made lots of cookies, (my favorite are the peanut butter kiss ones but I only eat the kiss out of the middle and feed the rest to Brody!) and i even helped wrap some presents. And, the best part- on December 11th I got anther new cousin, Maggie Jane! I cant wait to see her at Christmas. This week I also had my 18 month check-up. Besides the slight cold I've had, everything looked good! I weigh 24lbs (25th%) and am 32 1/2" long (40th %). I hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Christmas is coming!

Checking out the Christmas tree selection...We found it! Dad sawing down the perfect tree... At one of our favorite kids stores- Leaping Lizards!

The Red Rooster Cafe- Johnny Depp ate here when he was in town filming Public Enemies.

This weekend we got our Christmas tree. We went to the same place we've been the last couple years. They have plenty of trees and Brody even got to come with and help pick it out! After we got our tree we went to Gallery Night in Mineral point. All of the shops stay open late the Saturday night after Thanksgiving and they light the streets with luminaries and there are cookies and cider to enjoy while you shop! I'm getting so excited for Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mmmm... cookies!

One of my new favorite things to play with... the little roller thingy on the mouse!Eyeing up the perfect tree with Grandpa...Uncle Pat, Aunt Terri and I posing with Santa...Uncle Dan, Ella, Lauren and Aunt Jessie at Ella's baptism.Getting a hug from Lauren!My turn!Brody got to come too! He sure enjoyed playing with the other dogs.

We had a great Thanksgiving visiting family. It was so nice to have a long weekend, and we sure made the most of it! We were busy every day with something. Thursday was Thanksgiving at Great Grandma Krumm's with tons of amazing food as always- my favorites were the mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and cranberries! Friday brought early morning shopping for mom and dad while I stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa, and then Friday evening we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Bostow's Thanksgiving. I loved playing pool (ok, maybe just throwing the pool balls around) and it was great to see everyone. Saturday we went to get a Christmas tree with Uncle Pat and Aunt Terri, and then headed to Rice Lake for my newest cousin Ella's baptism. She looked beautiful and did great, she didn't even cry. Finally, Sunday I got baptized at the church that married mommy and daddy. I had to be brave like Ella so no tears from me! Afterwards it was time for us to head back to Dodgeville. Thanks for the fun holiday weekend guys, we miss everyone already!
