A few busy months....

The past few months have been super busy for us. The holidays do that to you I guess!?

Just to rehash the months of November and December....

We went home to Cincy the first weekend in November, and Ag, Ang and Theresa hosted Ann's baby shower. Ann had a great time and got tons of fun baby gifts. Kurt is in the process of learning and discovering what all the baby things are as they just had their bundle of joy! (See previous blog.)

For Thanksgiving, we were back in Cincinnati celebrating with both our families. As always, we ate a lot, watched some football, played a few games and relaxed. Drew enjoyed being held by all family members and hanging out!

Back in Chicago, we started our holiday celebrations with our friends, Alison, Justin, and Maggie. Drew and Maggie played as we adults enjoyed a tasty raclette meal. (If you remember, we used to have raclette dinners in Switzerland. I bought Aggie a raclette machine for X-Mas last year...and benefited from that purchase!)

Drew also met Santa in December! We went to the Bloomingdales downtown and honestly, the Santa and decorations were amazing! The setting really put you in the holiday spirit.

We celebrated with our good friends, the Reily's, their son's 2nd birthday.  Connor got some great toys, and all of us adults enjoyed catching up.


Drew's two bottom teeth came in...on December 14th to be exact. He was a drooling mess for quite a few weeks and gnawing at everything he could possibly put in his mouth.

Our Christmas celebrations in Cincinnati were wonderful. Drew was a trooper and all about opening his gifts.

Ann and Kurt had their baby, Daniel Henry Helmers. He is a cutie. Congrats again to them! (See pics and previous post.)

Drew's baptism was held over the holidays as well. He was baptised at St. Pete's in Hamilton on December 26th. Drew was a trooper and the best baby ever that day! He must have known he was in church:)
