Happy Holidays!

We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays this year. Christmas was extra fun for us with Caleb around to celebrate. He was so excited about everything (mostly about presents!) In this post I have a couple pictures of Caleb opening gifts from his grandparents in North Dakota. I'll post some other pictures from Christmas day, too.


We had some bad news right before Christmas, Marshall's grandfather died. Marshall had been up to North Dakota right before his death, so he was able to say good-bye. We left later on Christmas Day to make it to the funeral in Minot, on December 26th. It was quite the trip. Driving on 94 at night was not too fun..so we stopped in Fargo to get a hotel room. We left early in the morning to make it to Minot in time. Caleb was pretty good in the car, no major tantrums but A LOT OF TALKING. Marshall and I were getting pretty tired of the constant, Mommy! Daddy!! And he wouldn't stop until we answered him. It was pretty funny though...Caleb was just coming up with the goofiest things, like, what do trees do? I like tacos! Daddy, do you have money in your pocket? I don't want my picture taken!

We stayed with Marshall's grandma in Minot so we actually go to see both sides of his family, which was nice. So despite the circumstances we had a nice visit. We saw a lot of the Dean Family (most I've never met before!) and everyone commented on how much Caleb looks like Marshall.
