New Toys

Winters can be long when you are stuck indoors so much, but Adam is really enjoying all of his new toys from Christmas!!

Packing up

Adam was sad to see Jenn and Mike packing up to go home and really wanted to climb into their suitcase and go with them on the airplane.

We hope to see you again soon!

Happy New Year

Grandma and Grandpa Dynan had an open house for New Year's Eve with friends and family.

Our chefs for the evening:

Wondering when Uncle Matt can come out of the kitchen and play guitar.

Time to relax and mingle - our hats off to the chefs. The food was amazing!

Our family minus Chase (he was at there, but sleeping somewhere)

Jenn & Mike (aka Bubba)

Happy New Year!

Dinner at Nancy's

Nancy has the most beautiful holiday decorations and hosted a wonderful post-Christmas dinner for us (Aunt Kate too!). Cheers!

A Day in the Life of an Elf

Jenn and Mike came to the Macy's holiday display with us. My grandma took us to the display every year as kids and we decided we will carry on the tradition with Adam. The displays are quite elaborate, but Adam was only interested in one part...

We went back to this part of the display over and over and over. The barn door you see would open just a crack and then close abruptly. Adam wanted to let the reindeer out so they could eat the hay on the ground.

Christmas in Cold Spring

We celebrated Christmas in Cold Spring with Great-Grandma Elsie and the rest of the crew. Aunt Kate was home for the holidays, but sadly we have no pictures to show for it from our Christmas celebration.

Merry Christmas

We had a change in plans this year due to the weather. We missed seeing so many family members in Iowa this year, but were fortunate to spend it with cousin Ben and neighbor Nancy.
