Mia's Birthday
MIA TURNS 2 !
Mia celebrated her 2nd birthday with a smaller group this year [Mom, Dad, the Strey grandparents, and (most importantly) her Elmo cake.]
What a sweet little gal and what a wonderful day!
April 2012
Easter 2012
All dressed up...
Then all dressed down (and baking an Easter treat).
Ollie is born (our new little buddy)
January - March 2012
January through March were a busy few months. I (Jessi) was starting to feel and look super pregnant (though not due until April 22nd) and Mia was sick a few times. We still spent time going to the Children's museum, aquarium, homes of family and friends, and still traveling to see others. I did not do a very good job bringing my camera along to most things but here are a few.
We have a rule: Sick People Wear Socks...
I guess this technically qualifies
We were all ready for spring so we planted some flower seeds...
in our winter gear...
and brought them inside. It was a lot of fun and Mia got play in the dirt :)
Mia's First Haircut
She was not loving the giant apron but kept talking about her haircut for days!
Nothing says AWESOME to a toddler like her own, personal frozen custard from Culvers
Still chilly, but worth it to go on many walks by the big lake!
Picnic at the park
Mia tasting her first bite of hummus... still a little unsure about this "dip."
Nobody likes a good swing more than Mia
Getting a little nicer outside, so time to take her baby for a wagon ride and some fresh air
The last days of curling season
Watching Dad curl - or more like playing with Ella while Dad curls :)
My team won the Betty Hatch and I went down to watch them!
Great Job Ladies!!
Lots of playing with friends
What a fun time for us. Next time I will try to remember my camera a little more often ;)
December 2011
December, as usual, was a very busy time in our house. Here are a few of the adventures that we had during this fun month.
Random December Adventures
(that we remembered to bring the camera on ;) )
Christmas Tree Hunting @ Bagley Nature Center
Searching for the perfect tree with the whole family
Stringing/Eating Popcorn to decorate our tree
Building a snowman in the snow during the first snowfall.
(Mia mainly played a supervisory role)
Mia decided that Tahoe should join in on the fun... but Tahoe was busy trying to eat the snow.
Mia's School Christmas Concert
Christmas with the Lindes
What fun to get to spend time with so many members of the Linde/Nygard Clan!
Mia even got to spend some quality time in the morning making biscuits with Grandma Carolyn.
Playing with the McClearys
What a fun time with all the Linde family. It was a wonderful weekend in Madison!
Christmas with the Streys
Playing the piano with Grandma Janet & Cousin Hannah
Jessi, Hannah, and Mia all enjoy a good book
Getting all cleaned up and ready for Santa
"What are you doing over there... is that what I think it is..."
SANTA CAME!!
and he brought everyone a stocking!
Off to the Cities for Christmas with the Marxen side..
Then down to Austin for Christmas with even more Streys
I see you!
Nothing says "Tim's Birthday" like funfetti cake with pink frosting
