I had to go to New Orleans for work over our 9 year anniversary so Dustin came and spent a couple days with me there.
I didn’t quite realize we were going to be during Mardi Gras. Bourbon street was a little nuts. There were lots of parades and people out everywhere, so excited for the Super Bowl.
On Friday afternoon we took the street car around New Orleans.
Of course we had beignets and cafe Au Lait’s at Cafe du Monde.
The Mississippi
Hanging out at our hotel. We heard some great music on our last night there as well.

Uncle Dennis has a birthday this weekend so we had the kiddos over so he and Niki could go out to dinner. Grif & Kate spent the night and the kids had a great time. Here they are in their PJs watching Maya’s favorite show Curious George’s Christmas Special.
Maya is quite fond of baby Olivia.
Sweet girl.

Great Aunt Kathy was here from Michigan for Christmas. Here’s a pic of her, P-Ma and Maya.
Maya took everyone down to show off her new play area. They had a little band going.
My cousin Mark is back from the Marine’s and he brought his 2 kids over to play and my mom brought Lilli. Here are the kiddos playing on the new table Grandma Jacobsen got Maya for Christmas.
Little Mark, Lilli, Shelby, Mark & Maya are playing with Play-doh that Maya got from Lilli & Luna for Christmas. The kids played very good together.

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.

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.

We met up with the Ambersons’ last weekend for a night at Crown Center. It was beautiful and we had a great time. We ate dinner at Fritz’s where Maya was in love with the train that delivers the food and then we did some shopping and listened to the Christmas carolers and looked at the Christmas displays. Maya is not a fan of Santa so we did our best to avoid him.
If there’s such a thing of being loved too much, I bet Olivia could tell us about it. She’s 3 months old now and smiling and responding when you talk to her and oh so sweet.
