Dells Vacation 2013

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa Bille!
What a great Christmas present! 

 

The weekend started with Ava losing her 3rd tooth!  This was one of the front and center teeth and we were so excited that the Tooth Fairy was able to find us all the way in Wisconsin Dells!  We had fun swimming, eating at the Moose Jaw and Buffalo Phils and shopping.  But according to Ava, her favorite part was "spending time with our family!"  So true! 

 

Bille Family 2013

Our New Christmas Present!

We are hoping our new purchase lasts us at least 20 years! 

Now... bring on the snow so we can test it out!

 

I Am 9 Weeks Old Today!!!

Perfect Day for Baking!

I just realized that Ryan's Brewer Apron has a big Miller Lite logo on it.

  That might not be the best thing for a 4 year old to wear.

  Oh well... :)

Ava's Dance Recital

Ava had her dance recital on Friday night did a fantastic job!  Although I didn't get a great shot of her during the actual recital, I am hoping to get a video up soon of the performance.  She had fun, but was most proud of the fact that she got to wear make-up!

St. Nick Came to Our House!

And he brought Fluffie the Elf. (Notice him hanging on Grace's Stocking Hook)  Mom and Dad got candy.  Grace got a new onesie (St. Nick must have known that she can't have chocolate!) Ava and Ryan got new toothbrushes, new pajamas, bubble bath and snow globes.  They were more excited about these things then the candy!  If you know the story of Ryan smelling like "a man" because his bubble bath ran out and Kyle used his own body wash on him, then you will understand why Ryan was so excited to see the bubble bath and announce that he can now smell like "a kid" again!

All set for St. Nick!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Tonight St. Nicholas comes and if you haven't heard the story about our stockings... it's a good one!  As soon as Grace was named (ok, well maybe not immediately but we were still in the hospital) I went to kohls.com and wanted to order Grace's stocking.  Well it turns out that Kohl's does NOT make a G stocking!  (As well as a few other unpopular letters I guess)  What an outrage!  So... I found a stocking without an initial and then put on a silver G pin that I found.  (It's a little hard to see in the picture)  Now I just need to find a very crafty seamstress who can help me add a red G to Grace's stocking so we are all set for next year.  And besides.. I am sure St. Nicholas won't mind this year....

 

"Isn't having a baby the best??!!"

Ryan's quote this morning!  "Isn't having a baby the best?" 

Yes, Ryan...yes it is!

 

I Am 8 Weeks Old Today!

Our Favorite Present This Year!

 

It's Santa!

Grace's first time on Santa's lap!  (It's a good thing Grace was on his lap because if Ryan was forced to sit on his lap I am pretty sure this picture would be one of those classic crying pictures! Ryan was a tad hesitant but the cookie that Santa was handing out was a MAJOR incentive!)

Getting Ready for Santa!

(Had to post this outtake too!-So funny!)
