Holiday Photos 2009

We had some Holiday photos taken of the family a few weeks back. Our friend Lisa is a professional photographer and took them of us~ We think she did a great job, especially working with a newborn and a 4 year old. (http://www.lisacowartphotography.com/)

Thanksgiving in Minocqua, WI

Nana and Papa got to see their newest grand baby over the Thanksgiving holiday. We all drove from Des Moines to Gordon's hometown of Minocqua, WI with success! We weren't sure how the little one would do, but she slept the entire way with one stop for lunch. Kirsten met her big brother Drake and we celebrated his 4th birthday, too. Drake is so good to his little sister and such a big help to me. He always wants to hold her, or her hand, touch her hair, and give her kisses. He is very proud to be Kirsten's big brother! We took some pictures with Santa while we were there, too. Kirsten is only 3 weeks old, but Santa was very comfortable holding her and Drake for the photo!
