On Marek's first Christmas we were lucky enough to get to travel to Minnesota. We spent six days in the twin cities and got to see many friends and family. This was our first trip to MN for Christmas in four years. We had a wonderful time and Marek was a great little kid. Mike and I cant believe how quickly this year has gone. He will be a year old this month. We are so blessed and lucky to have him in our lives.
Before we went to Minnesota we spent an afternoon at Grandma GiGi and Grandpa Cliffy's house to open some presents. Marek got a Little Nemo truck that makes cool music as well as a drum which is has mastered pounding on (big suprise! :))
Marek loves his cousin Alix very much (and he was good practice for her new little brother or sister to come!). He also loved to play in Gammy and Gampy's newspaper basket. He pulled paper out and put in back in - great fun!!
Christmas Eve was a lot of fun. The entire Bellus/Penz/Moore family got together. We went to the Nativity at Jim and Kathies church (Marek almost made it through the service) and then we went back to Jim and Kathie's for food and gift exchange fun!
Christmas morning Marek and Alix got to open thier presents from Santa. That night we went downtown St. Paul and looked at the lights and as Gammy said that night, I will never forget it.
