The turkey was not the only thing that was stuffed...





Here's a quick addition to the earlier post: a few pictures from Thanksgiving. Hopefully we'll have some more shots to post from Turkey Day soon....most of the thanksgiving moments were captured by Grandma Marmo's camera! Yes, it is snowing in the Tgiving pictures. Yes, we put up our tree on Tgiving too. No, Greta has not attempted to pull it down.....we're still puzzled by this. We hope y'all had happy days with your friends & families!


PS Greta got her first pair of big girl walking shoes today!

We are hoping these new shoes will be the final push she needs to "officially" be a walking peanut!

The first step is to step

Here's a new video of G-Boo walking behind her cart.

Girls weekend! or Bye Bye Daddy!






Well, Greta and I are flyin' solo for a few weeks. Ty has safely landed in Sierra Leone, leaving Gboo and I here in MN for LOTS of quality time together. So far its been just fine. To kick off the girlie QT, Grandma Marmo took Greta and I down to scenic Mt Vernon to spend an evening with Aunt Jayne. We got to tour Cornell College's campus with our own lovely tour guide and I think she had a pretty good time showing off her niece. From the campus to the cornfields, Greta had quite the Iowa experience. Don't you think Gboo and Jayne favor? We think that's why Aunt Jayne thinks Greta is so cute! Jayne was wowed by Greta's crawling and chatting and hopefully we've given Jayne some incentive to come home for Thanksgiving.

Skiver eater






A week after the Halloween fun, we met the Christiansen family over at Aunt Ev's new home for a Aebelskiver party. Greta- to her delight- got to sample her first skiver. Basically she dove face first into the skiver....a couple of times. While she was sampling Danish delicacies, she thought she'd try out the Danish flag too..... for the record, she voted for the skiver! What a great family day!

A little more BOO...




We wanted to include Greta's trick or treating excursion....Grandpa Jay stopped by (before dressing up like a cat...snicker snicker) and then we went trick or treating with Auntie Keb over at Grandma Marmo's house. Enjoy!
