Pure Joy

This about sums up Christmas for Maren. She learned patience in waiting to open gifts, but I think that just added to the excitement. Merry Christmas!

First Snowfall

Saturday....8:45am

 Maren can't take it anymore and insists she go out to play in the snow, despite very cold temps.

The finished product... 

Waiting for Daddy. 

Bliss!

At least the neighbor children were just as anxious. But their Grandma made them shovel. :)

Thanksgiving, 2010

Late again...Thanksgiving pictures from Grandma and Grandpa Klein's!

Maren plays with Grandma and Johann.

Maren holds Johann again, and decides that "he's big!" That tall boy is going to pass her up sooner than later! 

Johann shares some giggles with Great Grandma and Grandpa. 

Blurry again. Maren helps Grandpa put Johann to sleep.
