Breckan's Baptism...

We had Breckan's baptism in Napoleon at Trinity Lutheran Church on January 1, 2012.  Chance and Kristen are his Godparents.  It was a long service since Breckan wasn't feeling well.  He wasn't happy at all and cried a good portion of it.  Felt so bad for him.  When I took him up to the doctor on Monday he had an ear infection so no wonder he was not happy.  So most of the pictures at church he is crying.  We did get a few better ones once we got home.  After the service, we headed to our house for lunch.

(Don't forget to check out all the Christmas and New Years pictures by clicking 2011 to the right of this post.  It archived them into 2011 after posting this 2012 post for baptism.)

New Year's Eve...

We spent New Year's Eve at home.  We had Preston's surprise 30th birthday party Friday night so everyone was kinda ready to lay back and relax for the evening.  We spent the day cooking for the day and getting food ready for tomorrow's baptism for Breckan so it would all be ready to go in the morning. Chance, Kristen, Preston and Lacey came out in the evening and spent the night.  We had some supper and snacks and watched some movies.  First up was Transformers and the boys dressed their parts. :)  Tristan was Bumblebee and Ethan was Optimus Prime.  When the transformers transformed in the movie the boys acted that out too.  They were pretty funny to watch.  The boys played around with their uncles too and had some fun.  We watched Just Go With It and enjoyed the New Year after the movie ended with some party hats, noise makers and some party poppers.  It was a nice relaxing night.

Bath Time For Breckan...

Ethan wanted to help give Breckan his bath tonight.  He sure giggled a lot while helping wash him.  Breckan just looked at him the whole time and watched.  It was pretty cute.

Schaffner Christmas...

We had Rashad's family at our house on Monday.  The boys were excited to have the kids come out to play.  They had a great time playing with Clark, Addison and Savannah.  The little ones, Breckan and Sterling did some hanging out together too, napping on the couch. :)  There was some card playing downstairs, some napping, visiting and playing before supper.  After supper the kids and Uncle Chance handed out the presents and the kids dug in.  Afterwards they did some more playing before every one headed home.
