Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! It's hard to believe another Christmas and another year have passed. And, in about 2 weeks, there will be another Van Heukelom in our family. We know that 2010 has a lot of changes in store for us. Wow.
Luckily, we were able to make it to the farm with the blizzard conditions. And, of course, Maverick enjoyed the empty boxes and papers the most! He also enjoyed scooping snow and feeding cows with Grandpa Jerry in the tractor. It was a great way to burn some energy and get out of the house.
Maverick all bundled up. He looked like a sumo wrestler. Because he was dressed like a giant marshmallow, he couldn't quite master walking in the snow.
Here we are Christmas morning looking bright and chipper. Maverick is wearing his reindeer pajamas. They are so darn cute!
Opening a big present which he later just stood on the box and performed like a magician.

We celebrated St. Nick's Day at the beginning of the month. You can see Jesse was not a very good boy this year. We love our wooden shoes!
Our little Christmas tree. It took us about an hour to pick out this tree at Walmart. We couldn't decide if we should get the big fake one or the small fake one. Which will we more likely use again? Which will fit better in our apartment? Since we plan to get real trees once we move, should we get a fake one at all? The questions went on and on. We finally got the small fake one which was perfect for us.
Maverick was such a big helper decorating the tree. He knew just where to place the pickle!

We hope you all had a great holiday season and look forward to seeing you this year!!

That is hilarious because Andrew and I did the same thing at WalMart! We went with a small one too and decided the kids will enjoy having one in their rooms. Plus easier to move with. Happy New Year! Keep us posted on baby Van Heukelom! Maybe we'll see you Sunday?
