wrapping up 2011 & what the 2012 brings...

jumping a bit out of order here, but before we headed up to sioux falls for schweitzberger christmas, we were able to get together with some friends & their little bundles of joy. marcell & josh brought over vaughn & we were able to meet little miss eva...kim & tom's little lady. uncle tate even brought over his new baby...jacey...his new little black labrador. so glad we were able to sneak in some holiday kidness this year!

...and after we returned back on monday following christmas day...we headed over to my parents for one last celebration...& one more opportunity for oliver to get spoiled =) after this christmas, i want to thank everyone for turning our home into a toy car lot! oliver will have a ton of fun once springs rolls around & he can cruise around in his new rides outdoors!

on top of christmas, this past week, we also had family on my mother's side home...my cousin, natalie, celebrated her wedding here in holstein. {photos to come, once i have all the editing complete.} it was a beautiful, unseasonably warm december wedding! and i can't wait to share. with christmases & the wedding checked off our lists...we can now focus on 2012 & what it will bring. schweitzbaby two!!! i am officially in baby mode...
organizing... planning... packing... digging out all the baby baby stuff... i love it! amongst the baby preparation is a new calendar...picking out flooring {both tile & carpet}...taking away the christmas decor & tree...and trying to put back together the house from about 2 weeks of neglect. can't wait to relax...oh wait...there's no time for that anymore!
