The Schlemme's: Cookie Decorating Time!

Given the fact that Elijah is now over 2 years old and I have yet to complete a scrapbook, or even really print any photos, of him I decided to start a blog so that I can remember some of the many things that our going on in our semi-crazy lives right now. Since I spend the better part of my day (i.e., the most time) in front of the computer I think I am more likely to update this than anything else. We'll see how many posts I get up here as time goes by. Plus, since we live too far from our families and so many close friends, it's another way to keep in touch so everyone can see what's going on in our world. With that, to kick off the holiday season, here is my first post......

We went to my cousin Jeannette's house on Saturday for a Christmas Cookie decorating party. There were LOTS of kids there - all having so much fun. What great memories Jeannette and Matt are creating for all these kids. There was even a visit from the big red man. Eli was only a fan from a distance and gave him a very energetic and lengthy goodbye. It was so fun - Eli was having so much fun that he literally tried to rip my sweater off of me when we were leaving. We only got the tantrum to stop when we told him we were going to Jack's house (seems to work every time!). Lucky for the Tetzlaff's, we don't come over every time we use that "technique" to calm him down.
