Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas to you! We are in Minnesota enjoying looking out on a serious winter wonderland. During a very brief walk, I heard Greg say "I don't think I'm a North Dakotan anymore." Have we already lost our 25+ years of cold weather stamina? Yikes. We are doing okay our first Christmas without Maelee and our first Christmas with her brother. It's not easy. Certain moments feel like a slap in the face. But Christmas is a huge milestone and part of me is glad for it to be over... and part of me wants to scream and pout. We received our first outfit for the baby boy this morning... which is good since he's only going to get to wear a couple outfits of Maelee's! We were definitely ready for a baby girl. So much pink! And now we must gear up for a whole different world of colors. Whoa. -Heather
We miss you more than we can say today, baby girl.

Oh yes, the shift from "we have everything" to "this kid is gonna look funny in a pink tutu... need some blue"! ;)

We still meeting up some place some time? I'll email you my mom's cell #. She knows what's going on and has the itinerary (I don't).

Merry Christmas Kasowski Family. Been thinking about you guys alot lately. Wondering what it would be like for Maelee's first Christmas hearing the angels sing. Praying for peace this Christmas.
We were very excited to hear the news of a boy! Very exciting.
Enjoy the snow. I know what you mean about not feeling like a North Dakotan anymore. Its crazy how a couple of years away can do that to you.
Merry Christmas,
Love the Ireland Family
