Merry Christmas!

Greetings!

The most wonderful time of the year!!!  Jonas and Elsa have officially been five years old for a couple of weeks now!  It has been a great Christmas to spend with friends and family. 

Our Christmas Tradition involves hamburgers.  It started five years ago when we celebrated Christmas Eve in the hospital.  Hamburgers were the meal du jour.  Ever since, we have hamburgers at our house to celebrate.  This year, we actually went out for the meal!  It was a great evening to celebrate.  We had our meal and then went to our candle light service at our church.  It is truly the most wonderful time of the year!

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas

Birthday Bash 2013 (Five and counting!)

Greetings!

Elsa and Jonas celebrated in style this weekend.  They are turning five next week and we had their birthday party at a local jumpy house.  It was a blast.  Friends and family came by to jump and celebrate five years!  It was a great day and great to see everyone.

The kids went caroling with their grandparents this past week.  They had been practicing their songs and jingling the jingle bells to get ready for the event.  They had a great time!

Jonas and Elsa helped with getting the Christmas tree this year...Jonas carefully helped cut down the tree and Elsa helped carry it back to the car.  It was a lot of fun determining what the perfect tree would be.  Elsa decided that she had to walk all around to see if there was anything better than the one we picked out and then reluctantly agreed it was the best.  The lights are now up and the final decorations are going on while Elsa and Jonas watch the sound of music.  It is shaping up to be a nice little Sunday!

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
