Carsten turned 3!

Grandma and Ethan

Gift giving, and gift receiving...

2 weeks ago, we finally got up to Grandpa and Grandma Markgraf's to celebrate Christmas with them.  The kids enjoyed giving them their gifts and then were of course happy to open a few themselves.  Ethan got a stuffed puppy that Snickers had already pre-approved of according to Grandma.  Morgen got a nite bright set, and Carsten got binoculars!  Wow!  Thanks Gpa and Gma!

Morgen too...

Morgen when she was 6 months.  

Making the bed...

I went to make my bed the other morning and Oops! someone was in the way.  I love taking these pictures.  I think I have one of Morgen somewhere doing about the same thing. I'll have to check.   Where's Waldo?

Who's who?

Christmas Day

Today, we let the kids finish opening presents we got for them, without the audience of aunts and uncles.  My parents were still here and enjoyed it too.  Morgen is totally into dressing up, dolls and doll houses. Carsten is into race cars!!  Bekah gave him race car yesterday.  We gave him a couple of small cars and then some blocks to build with.  After Eric built the first tower and he demolished it, he said, "More daddy, do it again!"  

Why not end the morning playing with Ethan's new toys in the bathtub!
