Santa's job is done

Santa ate it up!

We spent Christmas in Evansville this year with my mom (Pam), Whitney, & Andy. We had a great holiday. Nolan loves seeing his MiMi and his Aunt WoWo. Santa treated him very nice this year and he was thrilled to open all of his gifts. His favorite things were all of his Diego toys, Power Tools that Whitney and Andy got him, and some cute ice cream spoons my mom actually meant for me but he has taken over. Adam and I also got some wonderful gifts, including nice new sheets that we needed really bad! Hope everyone else had a great Christmas! Happy New Year!

We spent Christmas with Dave, Jeanne, Gretchen and Scotty when we got home. Unfortunately I was exhausted by the time we got home to celebrate and forgot to take any pictures. Nolan was thrilled about a second round of presents and was once again treated very nice. Thanks!

Bela almost exclusively hangs out on the radiators or on top of the cable box now. She is so cute.

Marquette Basketball

Dave and Scotty treated Nolan, Jeanne, and I to a Marquette basketball game on December 5th. Even though Marquette lost, we had a lot of fun. Nolan really seemed to enjoy it. After the game we ate at a restaurant in Milwaukee called Cafe Centraal. It was seriously delicious. Here are some pictures we took…

Nolan had to bring his toy drill. He is really into “working.”

The cake my mom made for Nolan’s birthday party! It was AMAZING. The bottom was chocolate cake with a cheesecake filling. The top was white chocolate with a raspberry filling. She put a lot of time into this cake and it turned out so wonderful. Nolan still talks about it everyday. THANKS MOM! And also thanks to Mama Jennie (my grandma) who helped me paint all of the chocolate candies!

***Right after taking these pictures our camera went dead. So we didn’t take pics of Nolan’s party, but Kristi took a bunch. I will post some of those later!

Nolan’s 2nd Birthday…

We had Nolan’s birthday party a week after his birthday, but on his actually birthday we wanted to do something fun for him so we took him to Monkey Joe’s. It was a lot of fun to bounce around on all the stuff. He seemed to love it. Parent are only allowed on the bouncy things if they are helping a child 4 and under. It was funny because me, Adam, Jeanne, Dave, and Scott accompanied Nolan on the bouncy things. It was pretty exhausting but a lot of fun.

Here comes Papa!

After Monkey Joe’s we went back to our house and had some pizza, cake, and some presents.

Offering some cake crumbs to Papa!
