Thanksgiving '08

What a great day! We went to Tim and Melindas for our Thanksgiving day festivities. It started off with a fabulous batch of cinnamon rolls thanks to Courtney. We watched the parade, and dog show!, as we munched on a variety of yummies. Afterwards we watched a bit of football and visited with each other for a bit. our dinner was delightful! I think the best part was the salad, but that's coming from a vegetarian. Danika was a hit with our family members- everyone loved our little turkey and her adorable outfit and bib (thanks to aunt tori and grandma val). It was a great day and one that helped us to remember all that we are thankful for:) 

A busy weekend!

What a weekend! It was free day at the Denver Zoo, so we decided to take advantage of it on one of our last beautiful weekends. Then we started to put up Christmas decor, complete with a nice cup of Russian Tea while listening to Christmas carols  as Danika slept in her bouncer. We finished off the evening with a nice dinner with our cousin and aunts and uncle Brady at the infamous Pascuini's. It was a great but busy day! 

Newborn Pictures!

So, Ari has a severe need to photograph EVERYTHING, so of course when we had a COUPON! for newborn pictures, she jumped on it. We had a lot of laughs at our little girl as she was photographed. Here are just a few of the adorable pictures of our baby - enjoy! 

A proud papa

Nate has taken to his daddy role quite with great enthusiasm! He is such a good daddy and a huge help to his wifey. A few picture of Nate with his girls:) 

We are home!

We broke out of the hospital at about 1:30 this afternoon and boy is it nice to be home. We had lots of fabulous photo opps the last few days- here are a few of the best! 

Our Halloween Baby is here!

On Friday, October 31, Danika Grace Hall arrived, long legged and beautiful. She's a sassy one, and one that has completely stolen our hearts. Ari's water broke at around 6:30 am on Friday, and by 7m, with the help of her wonderful husband, she was holding her daughter in her arms. It was a pretty amazing day and one that we never knew could change our world so much already. Here are a few pictures of Danikas first 12 hours in our world. Enjoy!
