Our Last Trip in 2008

Anderson and I made our first trip alone to Grandma and Grandpa Pyle's house this week. Tim had to work so we thought we'd enjoy some more family time. We've had a great time! Hopefully in the new year we'll make trips to see lots of our friends!

Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas! We will post tons of pics from our Christmas adventures after the holidays. As Tiny Tim says from one of my favorite Christmas movies, "Bless us all!"

One Month!

A couple days late, but here's the pic from our one month burthday! Hard to believe Anderson has been here for a month! Loving every minute of it!

 

New Friends

Anderson met one of his so-to-be good friends last night....Grant Kenneth Shreve. Congrats to Ryan and Lauren, he's gorgeous! What a great Christmas present!



Here are some pics of Anderson from the last week. It's hard to believe he's already 4 weeks old!

 

 

 

 

Cookie-coma

Anderson had a busy night decorating Christmas cookies. Amazing work, but it pretty much tuckered him out! Ok, so he had a little help from mom, dad, Uncle Brandt and Josh :)



Post decorating.....

Our 1st Christmas Tree

This past weekend Anderson enjoyed a trip out to get his first Christmas tree. We went all the way to the nearest HyVee parking lot. :) Hopefully in the future we'll go to the tree farms and cut one down. We decorated it on Sunday night and Anderson was a great help with ornament placement.

Here's a bundled up pic before we ventured out to get the tree.


And here's our finished tree

And the winner is................

Alright, the moment you've all been waiting for -- the winner of the Great Pumpkin Debate!!

She will receive a free stay at the Bateman Inn and all the Anderson time she would like! Congrats!!


Over the past week Anderson has met all of his uncles and has been busy hanging with mom and Grandma Pyle. Here are some pics from the past week!!
