Christmas and Winter

So it really has been a long time since my last update for everyone. I have been busy with finishing school and starting my new position and then the holidays, time has really gotten away from me.
Bethany has really become a little character. We have had lots of fun through the holidays this year with opening presents and learning to crawl and discovering that Nellie's toys are just as fun to chew on has hers are. Chris and I figure that the few germs she gets from the dog toys are just going to make her immune system that much stronger.
We had a lot of fun with the holidays this year as I said before. Christmas Eve was spent with family at my Mom and Dad's house in Oregon, WI. We met cousin Nolan for the first time that night. Man was it weird to see the two of them next to eachother...Bethany looks soo big compared to him but I know she was that little at one point. Christmas day was spent at our house in Westfield. Grandma and Grandpa Klapoetke and Aunt Sara and Uncle Chad came over for Christmas Prime Rib and presents. All in all a nice christmas this year...and no lack of snow either. Our Christmas was really white despite all of the rain we got on Christmas eve. Although we did not have a triumphant winning season...Bethany has also become quite the little Green Bay Packers fan.We have spent most Sunday afternoons playing on the floor and watching the Packers play, winning some and losing some. Our favorite is when we get a touchdown and Bethany and mom put our hands up and say "touchdown" and both of us laugh! Other than that...not much is here to report. We are getting a good start on this year with all of the projects we are going to undertake with the house. More details to come with the next posting. Hopefully we will see more of you this coming spring and summer. Look for details about an upcoming first birthday for this cute little munchkin too.
Hope all is well with everyone and that you had a happy holidays as well. More soon!
