Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas! We were in Holstein for the entire weekend and attended many parties:) Rogan was awesome all weekend for his first Christmas! He is 2 months old now and always smiling!

 We surprised my Dad with T-shirts for the Big Clausen Christmas. He sold a Million $ as a Riddell salesman this past year and got an award so we had to celebrate!

Kendal's letter to Santa before we left with his cookies!

The photo says it all! He was surprised with the shirts! We love ya Grandpa!

 Santa visited the Clausen Christmas party! Cora was a little nervous to get her present from Santa so Grandma had to go with her.

Kendal was a big girl and got her present from Santa

Santa brought Grandpa Joe a new T-shirt!

 We went over to the Whitmers Christmas Eve morning to make some cut out cookies! The kids had fun running around with one another and frosting the cookies! They were not the best looking cookies but it kept them sitting for a few minutes!

 Christmas Eve we went to the community Center to celebrate with all of the Cronins!

Christmas Program and Rogan's Baptism

Wow What a crazy time a year! We have been crazy busy. Mommy has been back to work a few days a week and Cora had her Christmas Program at school this past week. Rogan ins 8 weeks old already and such a happy baby! He is cooing and loves to be talked to. He is such a good baby, thank goodness otherwise mommy might be an alcoholic:)

 This weekend Rogan got baptised so we had the family come and visit! Chuck, Brenda, Maura and Cale, Nick and Amy came on Saturday to spend the night. We played games, had to many snacks, watached movies and did pedicures and manicures! We had a blast!

 During church was the christmas program so it worked out great! all of the family got to see the girls sing and play bells with Rogan's baptism.

 Uncle Nick and Uncle Scott are Rogan's godparents! What a lucky boy to have two great Uncles!
