Holiday Fun

Here are some pictures from Christmas time:

Nora Badora, being her usual, smiley self.

Grandma and her girls.

Brooklyn helping Grandma drive. She loves to do this, but when we put her in one of those cars at the mall that moves, she FREAKED.

Brooklyn likes to hold stuff when we go shopping, so I handed her the shiniest, prettiest bag, and then realized how funny it looked...couldn't resist the picture! I guess you have to shop at Victoria's Secret to get the picture, but anyways...

The guys went ice fishing on Monday and Tuesday over Christmas, but I took all of the pictures on Mom's camera because my batteries were dead, so I'll have to post them some other time.

Craig went all out for my birthday this year...

a new dishwasher and headboard...


Then he sent me shopping with his mom while he rearranged, straightened, vacuumed, and dusted the living room. Isn't it pretty? I took pictures because it doesn't stay that way for long. Excuse the ice fishing suit in the middle of the floor...it had frozen in his truck from last week, so he had to lay it out to thaw so it didn't cramp his ice fishing style on Monday and Tuesday over New Years. Dad and Mom gave us their coffee table and end tables when they moved, because none of ours were matching, so he also went and got those from where we were storing them and got them cleaned up and put in, and the old ones taken away.

He then took me out to dinner at a supper club about 7 miles out of town. The food was wonderful. We both had the 18 oz. rib eye, and it was SO GOOD. So was the appetizer, side dishes and dessert! heehee.

If this is what he does when I turn 25, what do you suppose he'll do when I turn 50?!

Actually, he said that he was making up for some Valentine's Days when he didn't do much. He was under the (wrong) impression that because he proposed on Valentines Day (more or less), that he never had to do anything again on that day for the rest of our lives. We got that worked out though and should be back on track now :)

(I love you, Craig! Please don't be mad that I told everyone!)

Here are a couple of our little ice fisher woman. She sat nicely on Daddy's fishing bucket and fiddled with his gear. When he came home successful, she carried the fish around for a while until her fingers got cold!

Brooklyn in a new little outfit I got. It is TOO CUTE. Good thing I (mostly) got over my intense hatred for the color pink and started letting her wear it.

I originally bought it for a baby gift for some friends, but couldn't resist keeping it for my own kid. Selfish, I know. I got the new baby something else cute. That is why I should NEVER buy baby gifts in Brooklyn's size!
