CJ's First Bday Weekend

We celebrated CJ's first birthday the weekend after his real birthday since it was President's Weekend, a 3-day weekend, and we wanted to spend time with family and friends in Delhi.

CJ's grandma, step-grandfather, and aunts Rachel and Kara came out from California. Here are a couple pictures at the house before we left for the big trip.



And one from Toy's R Us.


We didn't end up getting the car because CJ seemed to much prefer the fire truck. Here we are trying to put it together back at the house.


The finished product!


It was beautiful when we got to Delhi, pretty with snow on the ground but not too cold.









The next day was much snowier, and we got snow overnight that made for good cross country skiing.



Another big activity of the weekend - plate making!



Next it was time to get ready for CJ's baptism.





We had the baptism at the family church just down the road.










After church, it was time for cocktails and presents!










Before dinner, grandpa had an awesome fireworks show prepared at the lake.





Then dinner...





And of course there was cake!







The next day, we played in the snow some more.







Though CJ preferred to ride his toys in the house.


There were more than 250 pictures from the weekend. Click here to see them all!

Modeling Thomas the Train

CJ doesn't know who Thomas the Train is yet, but he's sporting the character already! Here he is modeling his new backpack from mommy's co-worker, Devon, while getting ready for school this morning. (Mom tried to put Hippo in the bag, but he threw a fit, so he's carrying his new sippy cup in there instead.)
