Christmas at Great Grandma Cleveland's

Playtime with Boppa Brian

Snow!

Pretty girl

Christmas at the Mild's

I thought this was the cutest picture ever. I hope Adam and I can be this loving when we're older.

Baby!

Another gift?! For me?!

The brothers

Uncle Bronco! At least that's what Adam calls Bryan. We'll see if it sticks.

First experience playing in the snow!

WEEEEE!

Sorry it's so short. It wasn't a very steep hill so that she wouldn't fall off the sled!

Christmas with the Bonasera's

Natalie loves her cousin Justin. She crawled up in his lap the minute she woke up Saturday morning and shared her baby with him.

Doesn't she look tiny?!

Natalie enjoyed hugging Odie all weekend

Our crazy, crazy girl!

Thanksgiving - a wee bit late

We've been kind of busy lately, so I am just now getting to posting pictures from our Thanksgiving celebrations.

Here's Natalie and Boppa going through flashcards - something she loves to do whenever she's with him.

Eh-moh! At Grandpa Dave and Grandma Anissa's house

A Surprise Visit

Already???

We've entered the world of potty training! Natalie decided last night before bath time to sit on her potty chair and actually go to the bathroom! She was a little startled when it started to play music but got excited when she realized what she had done. So, we're going to try potty training and see how she does. Although we will keep you updated, we realized not everyone wants to know all details involved in this process and will try to use discernment as to what we share (both descriptions and pictures!) :)

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

This marker smells bad!Ooey gooey!

Our little baby chick!

And her baby chick (the costume was too small for the dog, so we put it on a baby instead!)

Bonasera Wedding

Adam's cousin, Ed, and his fiancee, Casey, got married this past Saturday. We had a great time and Natalie was amazing during the whole ceremony.

I have a video and more pictures to upload later of Natalie's favorite part of the evening - the reception!

Are you in there, Daddy?

You know you were raised in the suburbs when...

Monday night Adam and I went to the Twins game at the Dome.  It's been a long time since going on a date didn't include a stop at Menard's!  We went to Old Spaghetti Factory first and then made our way to the Dome.  After the game, we started walking back to the parking ramp. 

However, since neither of us ever go to the city, and we came out a different gate than we entered, we had no idea where we were in relation to the ramp.  Almost an hour later, we finally found the car.  

Now, this could have been one of those moments where you get frustrated and may start to argue.  In this case though, it just gave us something to laugh about.  It reminded me of one of the reasons I married Adam - his ability to find humor in all kinds of tough situations.
