Christmas Pictures

We had another great Christmas with our families. For 4 days over Christmas we were at the Kearneys in Chaska. It was a full house with 8 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs. Nothing is better than being close with family. Julie's parents came to our house over New Years to celebrate Christmas in Plover. It was nice to see everyone and celebrate together.
Santa came and brought us very nice things. Alex got a lot of presents including a train set from Uncle Jeff, a tricycle from Grandma & Grandpa Fretwell, toys & clothes from Grandma & Papa Kearney, and lots of toys, puzzles, and cars.
Of course Alex got to see Santa. He was excited about it all day and loved sitting on Santa's lap.
Here's Alex at snack time. He loves sitting at the counter to color, look at books, or eat. He got a new activity table from Mom and Dad. It's great for him and he loves to sit at it to color and do puzzles.


Grandpa Fretwell took some nice pictures while they were out to visit. D.J. went out to shovel some snow from the driveway and Alex wanted to help, he even has his own shovel. If it keeps snowing as much as it has D.J. will let him shovel the entire driveway by himself.

While in Chaska we celebrated Julie, Dad, Mindy and Matt's birthdays as they are all within about 5 weeks of each other spanning from Nov. 27th to Jan 2nd.

Alex and cousin Jon really bounded over the holiday as they are getting to an age where they can get into to trouble together. Since Christmas Alex will look through our house trying to find "Jon Jon". Here there finishing up some jello at Christmas dinner. Yummy!

Alex learned how to toast over Christmas. He's a little aggressive now, but should get lots of practice before Jen and Nicks wedding this fall.

The stocking of endless gifts.


Merry Christmas from the Kearneys!
