Cute Baby!

Need I say more?

The Haircut!

Before

After

We finally cut Mari's hair. I was getting sick of having the daily battle of putting a pony tail in! Of course now she looks even older.

First Food

It sure didn't take long for Nadia to take to eating food. She loves it!

Silly, silly, silly girl

Mari is obsessed with lipstick (thanks Grandma Becky and Auntie Aimee). She will walk around for hours holding onto chap stick. She also picked out this outfit and personally I think that the use of the headband as a bow tie is hilarious!

Tub Time

Mari and Lili had a long hard day of playing and we ended our day with a much needed bath.

Happy Birthday Mitchell!

We celebrated Mitchell's birthday in early January. A Transformer theme which of course Kyle loved! We had a great time. Mari and Mitchell became good friends that day. Grandpa Lynn loved showing them the fish on the wall. Mari couldn't get enough of it.

The Bouncer

We received this bouncer when Mari was born but really didn't have a great place to use it, but now that we do Nadia loves it! She will actually sit in there for more than 15 minutes playing. That's amazing for her!

Time with Grandma Bonnie

Grandpa and Grandma Mueller were able to spend some time with us after Christmas and Mari and Nadia (as well as Kyle and I) loved being with them. Mari loves to have her fingernails painted and so of course Grandma had to do it! Heaven forbid for Mommy to do anything for her while Grandma is around!

Snuggly Wuggly

I think these pictures speak for themselves....cute, cute, cute!

Frosty & Crystal

Mari is obsessed with Frosty the Snowman and she loves the one where he gets married to Crystal so over Christmas Kyle went out with the kids and made "Frosty" and "Crystal." They has a great time playing in the snow.

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!

Once again three Christmas celebrations! It was exhausting and a blast all at the same time. Kyle the girls and I had our own little Christmas where we had a "fancy" dinner as Mari calls it, with candles (which is what made it "fancy"). Christmas Eve and Day were spent with the Nordlund clan. I do mean clan. 10 kids 8 and under....wow! The fact that we actually got all the kids to take a picture is a miracle! We spend New Year's Eve and Day with the Pevestorf's. That too was a little nutty, but we all missed Karla, Erik and Leah. We are just so thankful to be able to celebrate our Saviors birth!

Making Christmas Cookies

Mari loved making cookies with Auntie Aimee. She LOVED doing the sprinkles. Of course eating them was her favorite. She actually did a really good job and we had a lot of fun.

Getting Ready for Christmas

So Mari didn't start out too excited to help put up the Christmas tree, but the further it got a long the more she wanted to do. Personally I think it's hilarious that Kyle is doing all the work and Mari is sitting there on the couch watching.

Some time in Missouri

We spent a few days in Missouri after Thanksgiving. I has some pictures of a wallaby, but they didn't turn out very well. Anyway, as usual we had a great time visiting with Grandpa and Grandma Mueller.
