Christmas with Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lisa

We are so thankful for Skype!  It was fun to have them see us open our presents!





It's tough to pry this thing out of my hands!
Future rock star :-)

Winter Wonderfest

We went out to Navy Pier for our third annual trip to Winter Wonderfest earlier this month.  We had more fun than ever now that Koen could go on a lot more of the rides.  And I went skating for the first time with Dad - it was awesome!!

Getting ready for Christmas!

We spent the second half of the Thanksgiving weekend decorating for Christmas - one of our favorite things to do as a family!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving in Milwaukee at Uncle Doug and Aunt Lyn's house and had a really fun time celebrating everything we have to be thankful for!  I was especially thankful for the pinball machine in the basement - Koen for the candles :-)
 
 
 
 We went to the Milwaukee Zoo on Friday and enjoyed the beautiful day with some amazing animals!
 
 
 
 
 Near the end of our visit to the zoo, we found this jackpot of perfectly crunchy leaves - it was almost more fun than seeing the animals!
