Getting to meet Santa

One of Sutton's favorite Christmas memories is meeting Santa on Christmas Eve at her Uncle Herb and Aunt Caroline's house. Now her cousin Kathleen carries on the tradition. Foster was in awe and didn't really even have much to say but was super excited about his Fireman Sam firetruck.

Plaza Lights

Taking advantage of the warm weather we went down to the Plaza, ate burgers at Windstead's and then went to watch the lights. Foster was especially fond of the Victoria's Secret window display and said "I don't want to leave here" to the amusement of everyone walking by.

Christmasing in K.C.

It has been a great last week as we get to see all of our friends and family over the holidays. We got to hang out with Aunt P., Uncle Allen and the gang and see Aunt P.'s decorations and then Foster got some amazing presents--a Thomas the Tank Umbrella, fire engine book and Thomas book too!

Merry Christmas in Iowa

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Foster seemed to have no problem meeting with St. Nick this year, as opposed to years past. And Kai, well he was just happy that he had a new shirt to eat!

Kai is 6 months old

Six months ago sweet baby Kai joined us and we can't imagine life without his morning smiles and squeals of excitement. He has learned some new tricks like rolling over and had his first nibbles of real food, with carrots being the winner so far. He is constantly kicking his feet and does lots of moving around at night time these days.
