Happy 2nd Birthday Greta

Happy birthday to our Greta! She is 2! Greta loves playing with her brothers, she adores her baby dolls, and she is our sweetheart. We are thankful that God blessed us with her for a daughter. We love you Greta!

I took Greta in for her well child doctor visit and she is tall and thin. She is 34.25 inches tall which puts her in the 69 percentile for height. She weighs 24 pounds which puts her in the 15th percentile for weight. She is a healthy sweet girl!

We celebrated Greta's birthday yesterday afternoon by giving her a My Little Pony themed birthday party with family. She had a blast! Dad, Mom, Eli, Asa, Papa, Nana, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Karen, Aunt Kristi, and Uncle Jeff were all able to come celebrate Greta. She loved having everyone sing happy birthday to her and opening all of her presents. Greta received a wooden play kitchen with play food, baby doll and wooden cradle, a Cinderella baby doll, My Little Ponies, My Little Pony pop up book, Frozen book, Cinderella book, Cinderella dress up dress, and dress up shoes. She loved her My Little Pony cake. It was a fun party!

I love my babies!

Greta is awesome at somersaults!

The brothers were so helpful with planning and preparing for Greta's party!

Sunday afternoon my sisters and mom took me out to celebrate my birthday. We had a delicious afternoon tea at Cafe Latte. I am thankful for them!

Today we met up with Becky, Danny, and the second cousins at the new Brooklyn Park Library to play and then went out for lunch together at Zupas restaurant. It was great to get everyone together again!

The other day the boys thought it would be funny to try on all of Greta's headbands!

Sibling love

Eli and his class celebrating Thanksgiving by dressing up as pilgrims. I remember loving to dress up as pilgrims as a girl.

What do you play with when most of your toys are packed up in anticipation of the big move next week? Puzzles!

Eli make this sweet Thanksgiving card for us.

Last Friday I took Asa out on a special date to Caribou right before we had a tour of the preschool he will be going to next year. He will be going to Acorn Academy in Ham Lake, it is close to our new home. He is excited!

Eli's teacher emailed us some fun pictures of him at school. Here is a picture of Jonah's mom and I when we helped the class make applesauce. 

The teachers all ready for character book day!

The kids enjoyed dressing up.

Eli and I enjoyed a treat at Caribou after his 6 year old doctor appointment.

Yesterday we had fun sharing pictures of Eli with his class as he is the Very Special Person for this week at school. Brian and I tag teamed reading the book Stop that Ball to the Class. 

I like these sweet pictures of Eli and his friend Jocelyn as they are riding the bus on their field trip to the Wargo Nature Center.
