Trick or Treat

The night before Claire was born was a busy one for us. Chasing around Buzz and Dale Earnhardt Jr is exhausting! :)

 

Meeting Claire!

We were blessed to have so many wonderful visitors while at the hospital.  

We want to say THANK YOU to everyone!!  We really appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and visits.

The boys stayed at home with Grandma Kreager for the week and came to visit each day (other than when Carson was sick).  We are all so very thankful and fortunate to have such a great Mom/Grandma!!

Great Grandma Keller made it up to see Claire!

Aunt Kari took a day off of work to come down and visit!  Her day was fine tuned a bit though as it was when Carson was sick.  She was able to make it to lunch with Great Grandma, Chad, and Ryan after seeing Claire.

Grandma and Grandpa Greseth came up a couple times for a visit.

The Larson's made a surprise visit!! Heather had her baby (was a boy) 3 days after we had Claire (2 days after this visit).  Claire's reign of youngest cousin was very short lived.  It was so great of them to come down to visit.

Larry and Mary Olsen stopped by as well.

Katie and her daughter Ava kept us company for a while.

Ryan was VERY excited to have a baby sister!

Carson is also excited to have a new sister.

Aunt Kari came up from Iowa with her 4 kids to visit the 2 new babies in the family in 4 days.

Bryan and Sarah came down from the cities for a visit.  Sarah was SOOO excited to come and meet Claire...so they made it down right away the first evening!

Uncle Curt and cousin Eric stopped by to meet the latest family member.

There were others as well who stopped by and thank you again to everyone!!  We love you all!

Ryan was soooooo excited. He keeps asking when he can come visit his little sister and take her home. Went out for lunch and he had to look over the booth to announce he had a new baby sister to the family next to us as well as the lady holding the door as we left.
