Birthday Wishes: Kallie

Grandma Pat and Lilia on my birthday

Great Grandma Partelow and Lilia

Four Generations

This year my wish for my birthday was to see my Grandma Partelow, my mom's mom. I had not seen her since our wedding three years ago. My birthday wish came true and my Grandma was able to come and stay with us for four days. We had a great time together watching movies, doing the most impossible puzzle, and catching up on chit chat. I am so thankful to have lived to see my twenty fourth year and I can't wait to see what the next twenty four bring.

Twas a Very Merry Christmas

Brother and Sister Christmas Morning.

Twas a very Merry Christmas in the Conrad home. We spent Christmas morning at our home opening gifts and enjoying each others company. Then in the afternoon we had a Christmas feast, boy was it good! This Christmas was an extra special Christmas, it was Lilia's first and our family's first in our new home. When all was said and done we had about a half dozen Christmas celebrations with various parts of our family over a two week stretch. It is sure nice to have such a large family with whom we can share the holiday cheer. Thank you everyone for sharing the season with us and making this Christmas special for us all!

Lilia is four months old and it is hard to believe. She is growing so fast. I can't remember life without her nor do I want to. She is the best thing that has happened to me besides my Matthew and Kainer. We are so happy God blessed us with our little girl.

Arctic Super Cold Blast Out 2008

They, the news, are calling it Arctic Blast 2008. I am calling it Arctic Super Cold Blast Out 2008 because I think it sounds cooler plus just as ridiculous. Here at the Conrad house we are trying to keep entertained. We are getting kind of tired of this snow thing, there are only so many hours you can spend in the snow before it gets what Kaine would say boring, not to mention cold. Besides our snow adventures we have watched My Girl, Open Season, Ratatouille, Wall-E, wrapped our Christmas gifts and baked some chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. We are so excited for Christmas, its only a few days away. We love you all and wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Thanksgiving

Grandpa Scott and Lilia Thanksgiving Day.

Nana and Lilia Thanksgiving day.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration this year! Matt, Lilia, and I spent the day visiting with Matt's family and enjoying delicious food. My mom and dad came down for the long weekend and we got to enjoy their company as well. We went to the lights at the Grotto, our Thanksgiving weekend tradition. This year Grandma and Grandpa went with us. Kaine spend the holiday weekend with his mom and enjoyed her and his family there. We have so much to be thankful for this year. Our health, our happiness, our newest family member Lilia, our new home, our families, each other, this great country, and so much more. We are a very blessed family and let us always remember it. I hope we remember to keep the spirit of Thanksgiving in our hearts throughout the year.
