A Family Christmas

Before we head out of town we wanted to celebrate our family Christmas. So, we had din at the Olive Garden and came home to open a few presents. Jack is getting this present thing and kind of likes it!
Merry Christmas to all!

My two loves...

Jack gets two pics just because they're cute...
and I can't forget this guy...

It's a Tetzlaff Christmas!

So, one nice thing about having family in WI & IA is that we get to celebrate Christmas for two weekends! We had a wonderful weekend trip up north to Grandma & Grandpa T's house - we were busy & spoiled!
Saturday was cookie baking day - Jack was a ton of help!
sledding fun with grandpa
Then it was present time - here is santa....!
Jack LOVES his new phone from Uncle Brian
and had a blast hanging with his Aunt Tami
here is our best family picture of the day.....
Thank you grandma and grandpa for a great Christmas. We love you!

Where oh where?

Where oh where has November gone? (a long overdue post - thank you for the reminders Maggie!) So here we go - Jack spent a week with Grandma and Grandpa T while my parents came up and helped me with the fall show at Canterbury. Getting ready for this show and the show itself took a lot out of me - wow! All I can say is how thankful we are to have such great family that are willing to help us out with anything and everything!
Jack got to visit Uncle Brian at work!
and he got to surprise grandpa at work!
Here is my #1 salesman!
Then we took a weekend down to visit Grandma and Grandpa W's & spend time with Brian, Allie & Reese. Of course we had to get some pics. The OshKosh overalls are in honor of Great Grandpa Wulfekuhle who lived in these during fieldwork season.
Great Grandma loves to spend time with the little ones!
Jack and I took a quick 'work' trip down to Ames. Had to do a little photography on campus, check out Jeanette & Shaun's new house & visit the Wulfekuhle's. It was a quick but fun road trip!
This brings us to Thanksgiving. We decided to enjoy a relaxing weekend at home. The Schlemme's did all the work and we joined them for a delicious meal and relaxing day. Here are Amanda and Curt hard at work....
Friday I got spoiled and Travis' mom watched Jack, so Amanda and I could shop all day (it was great!) The rest of the weekend we got to enjoy breakfast at OPH...
& then to the Home Depot to pick out our Christmas tree (our family tradition...) actually cutting one down seems like a lot of work. We didn't even unwrap this years tree, just hoped for the best! It actually is probably the best tree we've gotten so far (pics to come soon!)
and finally one of my favorite November pics of Jack.
Now Christmas season is in full gear, it's my favorite time of the year. We have been decorating, baking, eating lots of soup and living in our sweatpants. PS - Baby Girl will be here approximately 6 weeks too - we can't wait to meet her!
