On Wednesday, Dec 28th, we packed up the van and headed up to WI. The kids did great, but after 21 hours and about 3 hours of sleep they were glad to see WI! We had such a fun time seeing everyone and meeting our new nephew Roman!
We stopped at a rest area in Tennessee and enjoyed the scenary.
So sweet
and so much fun!
a sweet moment looking at the Christmas tree with Grandma Holly
If was fun to meet Roman. He is so cute!
Aunt Tonya teaching Mya all about the calendar
and memory with Raquel and Aunt Angie
We took Toby to get his hair cut and they lady chopped it up so Grandpa Blaubach fixed it up some.
Lina loves Levi and Levi loves Lina!
Mom and Dad with all 8 grandkids. Hard to believe next time this picture will be taken they will all be at least 3 years older and there will probably be a few more.
Saturday we did the sibling gift exchange.
Our kids also got presents from Grandpa and Grandma Blaubach. Mya loves science and space and they got her a thing that projects the planets on the ceiling. She said it was a great decision:)
Toby loved his cowboy boots! He now lives in them.
All the kids and son-in-laws
New Years Eve some of us hung out at mom and dads. We played games and had lots of yummy food.
Dylan and Angie provided us all with some "crackers". You pull them apart and you get a suprise (Dylan is modeling his on his shirt.) Even Roman got in on the fun.
Around 11 our parents and Aunt Diane and Uncle Paul joined us to ring in the New Year. Hard to believe 2011 is over but looking foward to what 2012 will bring.
Sunday we watched the Packer game at Derek's parents.
Ready to cheer them on and what a great game to watch with a big WIN!
We also opened presents. Toby was pretty excited about a cool backpack he got!
Mya got a Karaoke machine!
She spent close to an hour just singing and talking into the mike.
All the fun wore Toby out! Notice the packback and cowboy boots:)
Toby took a turn singing while Mya danced in her new ballerina pajamas
and Levi loved hanging out with Grandma D
Gandpa Stocks trick of putting the baby in the container worked great for Levi too!
The boys hanging out with Uncle Nathan
and Levi got to meet Uncle Nathan for the first time since he was back from India. He thought he was pretty cool!
It snowed just enough one night to make snow angels. Mya was VERY excited.
Toby loved baby Roman and would just sit and hold him.
Angie turned 30 and we had fun celebrating with her. Dylan, every picture I have your face looks like this:)
We went to POPS with Grandma D and Great Grandpa and Grandma one afternoon and Levi enjoyed a cone.
the whole gang
can't stay at grandma's without a tea party!
we also had a very nice visit with Great Grandma Stock
All of us kids
