Christmas 2009!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Christmas for us started on Christmas Eve Eve when Dustin, Maya & I went to church.  The service was wonderful and then we stopped by Aunt Niki’s on the way home.  The following day we went to my Mom’s for dinner and to exchange gifts.  Below is a picture of Corey, Brie and the tiny baby belly.

P-Ma got Maya a Princess bed, she loves it!

Here is Maya on Christmas morning.  She’s playing with her new horsie from Uncle Lee & Kaitlin before getting into her other gifts.  We had a blizzard on Christmas Eve so it was quite a challenge for Grandpa, MomMom, Lee & Kait, Brie & Corey to get here, but when they did we had a nice brunch and exchanged gifts.

We got her an easel for her new play area in the basement.

We worked very hard to get Maya’s play area ready for her on Christmas.  Thanks to Dustin for staying up late several nights to get it just right.  It doesn’t look too fancy, but she loves it, especially her little house area.

Grandpa & Na Na got Maya this bike, she’s on it every day!  She especially likes the turn signals, horn and music.

Grandma Jacobsen was here from Tipton staying with the Ambersons for the holiday so we got to visit with them too.  Grandma came over to show Maya her new table and she loved it.  Another favorite toy was the vacuum Maya got from Aunt Niki and family.  If it worked, our house would be very, very clean by now.  Maya loves all her new toys but had the most fun spending time with her family.  She is the most happy when she’s spending time with family and friends.

The Fairy Princess

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Last weekend we went to see the fairy princess at the KC Museum.  Chris, Dawndy, Lilli & Luna came with us as well.  Good thing, I never would’ve waited over an hour to see the princess but being together made it bearable.

Cheese!

Maya’s eating a sucker to get her to sit in her stroller while we wait a bit longer.  Luna’s just hanging out.

There was an igloo for the girls to play in while they waited.

Maya didn’t love the fairy princess, this wasn’t much of a surprise given her feeling for Santa.

Thanksgiving 2009 in Tipton

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

We went to Tipton to stay with Grandma Jacobsen for Thanksgiving.  We got to hang out with Uncle Brandon but he was unavailable for the photo shoot.

Maya had a great time on the rocking horse.

Its cold in Iowa!  All bundled up to go out.

Halloween 2009!

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Maya got to wear her costume to Kindermusik last week.  She wanted a picture by her Daddy, Mommy & Baby Maya pumpkins on our front porch.  She likes to visit them daily.

The girls like to hide in the lockers on our way in and out of Kindermusik.

SuperMaya on Halloween night!

Eva the bumble bee!  Noelle & Aaron came over and the dad’s and girls went trick or treating.  Aunt Brie & Uncle Corey came over and P-Ma & Granpere also stopped by to see the girls all dressed up.

The Pumpkin Patch

Dustin found an awesome pumpkin patch to take Maya to on Sunday.  Its called Johnson Farms 15 min. south of where we live.

Hay ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins!

Maya found her perfect pumpkin

They had horses, pigs, chicks, and goats!

Easter 2009!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

We had a wonderful Easter.  Uncle Lee spent Saturday night with us so he was here to help Maya find Easter eggs and open her gifts from the Easter Bunny.  Some of the eggs were filled with coins, Maya loves to fill up her piggy bank with monies.

All ready for church wearing the Easter dress and shoes from Grandma Rosie!

The Amberson’s gave Maya a bubble machine for Easter and the kids had fun playing with that in the garage (it was freezing and rainy outside).
