Merry Christmas!

Christmas 2010

Well, it is another snow day and while the girls and I are watching Princess & the Frog, I figured I could finally catch up on our blogging! So we'll start with Christmas:) What a great one we had with all of our family..and it was nice to not have to travel. But it was bittersweet to not have our house to decorate and to not have our Syracuse x-mas traditions (and friends!) to celebrate with!! We had a much simpler x-mas with being in the apartment and not having all of our decorations. The girls biggest concern was that b/c our tree was so small, santa would not have enough room for all of the presents!! But we were definitely reminded of what really is important at Christmas and the true meaning of the season! We have so much to be thankful for!

It's a _____!!!

Well, we got the big news yesterday. First of all..the baby is healthy and right on track for 20 weeks. And.. it is a BOY!!! I know, I am still a little shocked. I had convinced myself that it was a girl but what an awesome surprise to find out we get to have the boy experience, too!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday Ralph!

Our nephew Ralph turned 2 on September 20. He has become such an energetic little guy with a lot of spunk and personality. What else would we expect with the name Ralph Kieffer! Grandpa would be so proud!

THE BIG NEWS!

Because I have gotten behind on my blogging again..I forgot that I should mention our big news. We are adding another member to our family.. and.. NOT another four-legged friend!! We are pregnant!! Yes..a little bit of a shock at first but what a wonderful surprise. The girls are ecstatic and will be awesome big sisters. They go back and forth between wanting a sister or a brother but call it a "he" most of the time. We are now about 20 weeks along and due around the end of March. Next week we will be finding out if baby cramer is a boy or a girl! So stay tuned.....

Olivia the Cheerdiva

At one of our Van Buren football games, Olivia got to be a cheerleader for the night. Grades 1-5 were given the opportunity to do a cheer clinic with the varsity cheerleaders and then cheer at the game. Olivia had a blast and thought she was a little cheerdiva!
