Sleeper

Apparently his big boy bed didn't look as comfortable as his chair. This is how we found him when we went to check on him before we went to bed.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We rang in 2013 in Culver, Indiana with the Martin's and the Hillebrand's. We spent a long weekend at Janet's family home enjoying the company of friends, sledding, relaxing, and even us parents were able to sneak out for a dinner. Charlie still does not know what the "New Year" means, but this year he started it out right by banging pots and pans on the porch, granted it was only 7:30 pm but since he cannot tell time we got away with it and the kids had a blast.

Snow Day

Before heading away to celebrate the new year, we went outside to enjoy the snow and the park!

Christmas Day

After we had opened our presents and enjoyed our Christmas morning breakfast we got ready and hopped back in the car headed to Downer's Grove to spend the day with the Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Colleen, Uncle Patrick, and Uncle Brian.

Horner Ho-Down

This year we celebrated Christmas Eve with the Horner's at Charlie's godmothers house. For the first time in decades there were more kids than adults and lots of presents to go around. Charlie had fun playing with his cousins and more presents always help!
