Quack, Quack, Bath time...

For Christmas we bought Rowan a new bath tub for bathtime, so we could retire the newborn tub. The inflatable duck is very fun, it even quacks if you squeeze the beak!

She is still working on sitting up as you can see!

Farley Xmas in IA...

After breakfast Sunday morning we travelling over to Iowa to visit the Farley Grandparents to celebrate Christmas with them. We had lunch and visited for a short while. We would have liked to stay a bit longer, but after a long week of Christmas' and many hours in the car that weekend, we were ready to hit the road home. You can tell that it was a long week of pictures too, this was the only photo I took while we were there. And I didn't even take it! I will have to better next time we are there to visit.

Smith Xmas in IL...

The Smith Christmas in Moline IL has been held at hotel the past couple of years because there is too many people to have it at Papa and Gma Jan's house anymore. I guess when you have 14 great grandchildren, the numbers add up quickly.

After eating and opening gifts, there was card playing, Wii playing, and much talking among the women.Kieran, Great Gma Jan,Great Papa Ed and Rowan

Rowan 5 1/2 months, Sydney and Kate 3 1/2 months

Merry Christmas to all...

Finally Christmas Day has arrived. We have already had so many days of celebrating Christmas, it feels like it should be over by now. But not quite! We spent the day at home this year, for the first time ever I think! It was very relaxing, we had breakfast, opened gifts, played with gifts, etc.

Gizmo was afraid of his new toy at first!

Rowan and her Daddy!

Casey and Jake came over to visit us for a bit today since they just made it home today. They were supposed to fly in on the 23rd of December, but their flight was cancelled. Despite trying to re-book a flight later on the 23rd, and the 24th, they finally made it home on the 25th despite the weather. It was nice to visit with them for a bit and catch up, this was the only day we could see them because of my work schedule and the rest of our holiday gatherings through the weekend.Rowan got this outfit from Casey and Jake, she wore it right away the following weekend! Super Cute!

24 Weeks Old...

Not only is Rowan 24 Weeks Old today, but it is Christmas day too!

I decided to try giving Rowan rice cereal today, with some bananas since it is a holiday. She pretty much spit it all out, wasn't very interested. So I tried for about 5 minutes and then gave up. Maybe we will try again tomorrow.

Xmas with Gampa and Gama Knutson...

Christmas Eve we started out at Gampa and Gama Knutson's house. There we had made to order omlettes, with choice of meats, hashbrowns, Kringles, you name it!! Rowan was spoiled by Aunt Amanda and Uncle Mitch. They played and played, opened some presents, ate some paper and bows, etc, etc... But before long it was time to move on to the Hanson Christmas at the Swan's House.

Christmas Eve with the Hansons...

This year, Christmas was a bit different with 2 babies present for the festivities. We gathered at the Swan residence to celebrate with the Hanson Family. Rowan and Breyson seemed to be the life of the party. They were spoiled by all their Great Aunts and Uncles!

Presents, and more Presents!
