Happy Birthday Daddy and Happy NYE!

Today we celebrated Daddy's 33rd birthday and New Year's Eve! We had Josh's family and a few friends over to celebrate with us and had a fabulous time. Dane loved looking at all the candles on Daddy's cake. Again it was nice to be home to celebrate with the family!

Great Grandma Sawhill

Today we went and visited Great Grandma Sawhill. Dane just loves visiting her:) He has lots of fun at Grandma's house as did I when I was a kid.

Merry Christmas!

Dane celebrated his first Christmas today:) Santa brought him lots of toys and he loves them all! We opened presents in the morning and then went over to Aunt Kerri and Uncle Steve's house in the afternoon to celebrate with the Widlund side of the family. It was a nice relaxing afternoon with lots of eating and playing Wii. Dane had a wonderful first Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Today we celebrated Christmas Eve. We went to the Christmas Eve Mass with the Lohmeier family. Then we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Widlund's to open a few gifts before we went to Grandma and Grandpa Lohmeier's. It was fun celebrating Christmas with our family as it had been 4 years and it was also nice that Dane was able to spend Christmas with his family in Iowa! At the Lohmeier's we had a yummy meal and opened up lots of nice presents. The men did their usual Black and Tan pouring contest...Grandpa won! Dane had a blast on Christmas Eve...he had so much fun he only took 1 nap!

7 months old!

Dane is 7 months old today! We just can't believe how fast time goes by. This year we got our first christmas tree. Dane loves looking at it with all the lights and colorful ornaments. So I thought it would be appropriate for him to pose for his 7 month photos in front of our tree:)

Santa!

Dane met Santa today at our family Christmas party. He had just woke up when Santa called his name to give him his gift. Dane wasn't sure what to think! He didn't cry though!

Exersaucer time!

Dane just loves playing in his exersaucer. Josh and I love it too. It works perfect for dinner time:) We definitely recommend this to anyone with a baby. It can keep them entertained for quite a while!

Reading with Grandma Anne

Dane just loves it when his Grandma Anne reads to him! He loves spending time with her and gets so excited everytime he sees her:)

It's playtime!

Mommy and Daddy just love playing with Dane! He is getting so much more interactive and is doing something new everyday. He's starting to do a great job of sitting up and practices crawling with his daddy. Dane still loves to read books although he sometimes would rather just chew on them. He is super ticklish and is always giggling:)
