Only one day until our little guy turns one! So here's a little something we put together (more for ourselves :) to get a glimpse of some of the many great memories of the last year! Hope you enjoy this as much as we have! Happy Birthday Grant! We love you!

A White Christmas in Nebraska

Nebraska was hit with storms over the holidays that left a lot of people unable to reach their Christmas destinations (including some of our family). But fortunately for Nick, Grant, and I we were able to leave a little earlier than planned and get back to Kearney before these storms arrived. We were glad we did as it was fun to see family and get Grant some time with his cousins.
Speaking of cousins, I thought this picture was just too adorable to not be shared. This is Grant's cousins-Max and Ted Twit-they thought some of Grandpa Mark's animals needed some Christmas decor. I would say they did a pretty good job!After many days of being stuck inside due to the weather (which was actually very relaxing, so I'm not complaining). It was really nice to meet up with some of my family at the Holiday Inn water park and exert some energy. Grant is really starting to be a little fish. He had so much fun playing in the water, watching his cousins, uncle, and even his Grandma Mimi go down the waterslides, and of course drinking the water. I know that is so gross but he seems to love to duck his head under the water (which we praised him for) but then realized he was doing it more in part to get a nice big drink. :)

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday and are looking forward to all that 2010 has in store...I know we are!

Holiday Fun

The days of December flew by but prior to Christmas we still were able to get out and do a few fun things around KC. We made our first visit to Crown Center. Our plan was to take Grant to see Santa but after seeing a line that followed through the halls we decided to skip that. Next year maybe we'll try a weekday. We did see Crown Center's train display and then were able to spend some time at Union Station and see their unbelievable train set up. We walked all around the huge display and Grant really liked it...I think his dad did too!Our family celebrated Christmas a little bit early so we could make it back to Kearney before the big storms hit. We had our annual crab leg dinner, which was once again amazing (good job Nick). Then had a lot of fun watching Grant experience his first Christmas celebration. He was good for a few of tears on the paper of his presents and then became more interested in eating the paper. But with a little help from Mom and Dad he was able to get through the rest of the wrapping and discover some fun gifts. In this picture Grant was excited about his new garage and caught on quickly how to run the cars down the ramp...and since has decided he loves to run anything that he can down the ramp (puzzle pieces, his little people, whatever he can find :)
It was pretty obvious that Grant loved his gifts and had a wonderful first Christmas!
