We were so excited to come back and celebrate Christmas with Brad's family in Iowa and we finally got to see our new house, which wasn't quite completed when I left for Denmark to join Brad. Broderick is quite the fan of Christmas now and learned very quickly Christmas morning how to open presents. At first he was just excited to open a present. After a couple, after he'd open one, he's say, "oh-tay, next present." Cute, but maybe a little greedy.
Here he is with his stocking and checking out the presents Julemand had left him.
Look at my presents. I love the book, "Green Eggs and Ham".
Playing with my cousins - he was so excited to see all his cousins again and has been talking about them quite a bit.
Aaron and Luann had the family for Christmas this year. She made an awesome meal which we all enjoyed except Brad who fell ill shortly into the meal. Too bad for him. I ate enough for both of us though. Look at all the presents!
Naomi and Broderick helping me with a gift.
Curt and Gabe need to see a dentist I think.
Getting ready to leave. Broderick loves Ju-Ju (Jared) and Aunt Lu (luann) so much.
The first night we got into Burlington we were able to eat at Brad's favorite restaurant "Martinis". We were fortunate enough to get babysitters and the adults had a great meal.
All the ladies: Lorenia, Megan, Jane, Luann
All the men: Ron, Brad, Aaron, Curt
We were able to spend some time with Broderick Great Grandpa and Grandma Wiegand also. Broderick loves to see them and loves it when Grandma reads him "Frosty the snowman" book. He goes around singing the song. I'm so thankful he can have such a neat relationship with them. They even babysat him one morning for me.
We came back to Burlington after being in Elgin for Christmas because Brad was going to be returning for business. Broderick and I had a few days there alone before he got there and were able to spend an evening at Aaron and Luanns. Reading the Big Cheese book. Thanks Luann, still have to read that one quite frequently. He loves it.
New Years Eve we stopped by some friend's houses and then came back to ours to spend it with family. Here we are watching 2009 come in. What a lively group, I think it was past every one's bedtime.
The girls playing Phase 10. Poor Luann, she was in a deep hole in this game.
The boys playing Ticket to Ride.
The cousins having fun together.
Naomi got tired and curled up on a bench. She was ready for bed.
We weren't able to make it to the big Schmidgall Christmas, we were with my family then, but were able to make it to the Wiegand Christmas. I unfortunately have no pictures from that evening, but it was a good time seeing everyone and spending time with family.
