Christmas Morning

We celebrated Christmas at Jeff's mom Colleen and stepdad Dennis's home this year. They were excited to celebrate with us also. Tietjen loved all the attention and the opening of gifts. He kept asking "One more?" meaning, can he open another present. On Christmas Eve, we hung our stocking on their mantel and explained to Tietjen that Santa Clause would come tonight while he was a sleep, come down the chimney, and put presents in his stockings. He kept telling us that Santa comes down the chimney. We enjoyed our vacation and Christmas in Utah this year.

Tietjen received many things.. some there are no pictures of , just the video camera.. from Santa he received Henry and Dennis from the Thomas the Train collection and a Tonka Dumpstuck, that Grandpa Awsumb wants also!!


Anna Belle received many different dolls and stuffed animals and fun learning toys!! This was her FIRST CHRISTMAS and she is now 8 months old (on the 29th) . She is getting so big and crawls everywhere.

Annie Crawls

We are so excited that Anna Belle is trying to crawl... we just wish she was doing it a normal way. She started out by arching her back and pushing up with her feet to move around. We having been working with her to make her crawl on her tummy side down, not up!!!
Arch the back crawl

On my hands and knees crawl

SNOW DAYS



Tietjen loves the snow and every day looks out to see if it has fallen. When it does, he gets his boots and wants to play... this past Saturday it snowed long enough to let him enjoy a chill play time. He also looks just like the little brother on "Christmas Story" (Jeff's favorite show)


Bath Time




Tietjen and Anna Belle enjoy a bath with cool hairdo's thanks to mommy!!!
