You spend Christmas with the Purdys this year and had a great time with your other Auntie Alyssa and her family.  Here are som great photos of you opening presents!

Santa!

From the moment you met Santa we could tell you were, well, content.  Your first visit with Santa was great and we could tell you were going to get everything you wanted for Christmas.  Happy and Merry First Christmas Buddy!!!

Christmas 2010 as Jesus

What a first Christmas! At four months old you got to be baby Jesus at Wayzata Community Church Christmas Eve Service!  You were so cute and your mom and dad dressed up as Mary and Joseph.  


Here are some pictures of you as baby Jesus!

Favorite Pictures from Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving Weekend

Will,
You were quite a trooper this weekend as there were a lot of events that you came to.  Everyone loved having you around for the weekend!  Here are some pictures from all the events.

First, Grammy and Grampy had the chance to babysit this week as your mom had conferences and your dad was hard at work.

Bath Time!  Grammy and Grampy also gave you a bath...

It was your first time meeting Jenny and Eric.  They made a special visit out to meet you.  You and aunt Jenny were matching!  Aunt Annie came out to visit too!

Your mom and I also had fun watching you "walk" a little when you were at Auntie Mops house for a little holiday baking.

We spent most of Thanksgiving at the Carpenter's house and everyone loved seeing you.

We had a Norwegian/Mexican party at Auntie Mops house and you got to see Aunt Laura again after she got back from Norway.  Aunt Laura saw you on the day after you were born and then she left for Norway for a semester of college.  She was so surprised with how big you had gotten!

Out on the Town

Will-
We had fun taking you out to dinner tonight to Rojo for some Mexican food!  You loved all the lights and the people.  What a cute outfit you had on as well.  You really like your toy Sophie that Aunt Cindy gave you!

SNOW DAY! November 12, 2010

Will,
The first time you saw snow was on November 12, 2010!  We had a great MN November storm and over 7 inches of snow fell!  Here are some pictures of you getting your snow suite on for the first time and geting out to plan in the snow!

Here are a few more pictures of you 3 months old!

Afternoon in November

Hey Buddy!
Got to spend a night babysitting you last night as your dad was in Iowa for work and your mom was at a class for work.  It was a beautiful 70 degree evening in November so you and I went on a walk down to Lake Minnetonka.  It was my first time with you in the Bjorn and you just love facing out now.  I just love my one on one time with you buddy!

Also, your mom sent me this picture of the first time you wore jeans.  What a stud!

Auntie Mops in Chicago with Aunt Jill and Uncle Sam

In November of 2010 Auntie Mops headed to Chicago for a visit with Aunt Jill and Uncle Sam.  We filled our time with eating out, shopping, walking and hanging out.  We went on a long walk along Lake Michigan and visited many animals at the Lincoln Park Zoo.  Here are a few pictures of our adventure.
