Christmas and Whitney's Birthday (Steinlage Side)

Wow...it is crazy how fast time can fly and I think I am going to be really good about staying on top of this and I am not!!! :)  Thanksgiving came and went with lots of yummy food.  We spent the weekend before Thanksgiving with Wade's family, so we were home  in Oskaloosa for Turkey Day.  We were able to enjoy the day with our good friends the Leaks (Whitney's adopted Grandma George and Grandpa Heffy- his name is Jeff...but we call him Heffy!!!).  It was lots of fun with too much food, good movies and lots of being lazy!!! We couldn't go the day without Whitney trying to sneak a piece of pie...she thought she was so cute!!!

Next came getting ready for the Christmas. Since we were going to be out West for Christmas, we had Christmas and Whitney's 1st Birthday Party with Wade's family early in December. It was a lot of fun to spend a few days with them especially celebrating Whitney's "First" Christmas (really it is her second, but we were still in the hospital and she was only 2 days old...so we are going to go with this being her first!!! :)  She was spoiled way too

much with lots of gifts and toys...it filled her room to the max!!!



In between the different Christmas celebrations, we were able to use Grandpa Ron's shop and have Whitney's First Birthday Party.  Everyone braved snowy roads to join in celebrating Whitney turning 1!!! We had lots of yummy food and cake (Whitney didn't like getting all messy with her cake, so she ate it very delicately)! We have to thank Uncle Chad for helping decorate one of the cakes and taking it very serious!  Whitney again received lots of neat toys and cute clothes! She doesn't need any new toys for the rest of the year!!!

 


 Oh and we couldn't forget the crazy insane storm we had that weekend that almost had us snowed in at Ralph and Cathy's.  I love the snow and actually enjoyed digging out all the cars and driveway, but Ralph and Chad would say that I am CRAZY for that!!
