Max turns 2

January 6, we celebrated Max 2nd birthday. I made a train cake, we had balloons and Grandpa Swensen, Grandma Stoker and Poppy came to celebrate. Max sang "Happy, Happy" to himself. Max is so fun to have around. You would think he was so much older he has so much personality and is super smart! He LOVES horses and trains. He makes us laugh he is so funny!

Family

After hundreds of pictures, We finally some good some good pictures of the kids and us!

Christmas

We have been so blessed this year and it was fitting to have a great Christmas. The kids anticipated Christmas for months. It was so fun to see their faces on Christmas morning to see that Santa had come to our house. They each got a ZuuZuu Pet and have had a kick playing with them on the floor. We also got a Wii which has been a huge hit with Kale. We can't pry him away from it!

Aquarium

We took advantage of the free day at the Aquarium. We were lucky it was on a Monday so Nate could go with us. We have been there a couple of times before but they added a penguin exhibit that we had never seen so it was fun to see that. There were lots of people there but it was fun. Max slept most of the time but woke-up to see the stingrays. We spend a really long time at the stingrays so the kids could touch them!

Nate's birthday

Nate had a milestone birthday this year by turning 35! We had fun celebrating. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful father and husband!

Snow

We haven't had a ton of snow this year but we have had one good dump! The kids were so excited to go out and play in it. It takes a good 20 minutes to get all their gear on and they went out play for a while, ate a ton of it then came in freezing!

Thanksgiving

We had the most relaxing Thanksgiving this year. We stayed home and ate with just our little family. It was nice to sleep in and make our meal without all the stress and bustle of having a full house. I love this holiday and was glad I could spend it with my favorite people!
