The Great Pianist

Finally getting around to the few pictures on our camera.....we managed to capture Kenny, the pianist, while in Iowa. He loved playing on Grandma & Grandpa's piano. He would play, sing, and then clap for himself (he's not lacking in self confidence--that's for sure:-)

Kenny the Ring Bearer

Sarah's Cousin Amanda was married on New Year's Day. Kenny was the ring bearer and did a great job!

He really knew how to strut his stuff down the aisle...and even escaped and made a few practice runs right before the wedding started!?
The most uniqe aspect of the reception was lighting sparklers! Sarah and Great Grandma Clara went through an entire box themselves!

Hanging Out in the WARM

We had lots of time to relax and play inside as well.

Kenny helped out with KP duty.

But hanging out in PJs and playing all morning was much more fun!

Of course his favorite past time was cuddling with Jake the dog.

Bathtime in the big claw foot tub was the highlight of every evening.

Winter Fun

The 7" of fresh snow created great fun for the days after Christmas. Grandma and Kenny took a trip via sled out to visit the cows.

Kenny also gave the tricycle a whirl in the snow (a very frustrating endeavor).


Darin and Grandpa took Kenny sledding on a COLD day. Kenny kept saying "more" even though the three were frozen after 7 runs in 30 minutes:-)

Christmas Night

Every one (except Sarah & Andrew) spent Christmas evening with the extended Erb family. Kenny was entertained by the big boxes. Darin & cousin Lily pulled Kenny around all night...what fun!

Christmas Morn

Christmas Day wasn't quite so perfect. Sarah and Andrew awoke with the stomach flu. Kenny still had a great time....

....napping with Uncle Nate.....

....playing piano with Aunt Laura....

...trying to figure out the Sit & Spin...

Christmas Eve in Iowa

It's been too long since I've blogged.....hang in there...time to play catch up:-) Starting with Christmas Eve. It was a special day with the Whattoff clan! (And picture perfect with 7" of snow falling throughout the day!


Everyone was excited to check out Sarah's belly. Aunt Becky even posed with Sarah and the twins!
