Seasons Greetings from the Eveland's

We hope everyone had a great Christmas! Matt and I finally were able to be together for Christmas this year after being separated for the last two. We didn't do too much because Emma is still so young, but it was enjoyable being altogether. We opened our presents at midnight on Christmas Eve because we were still up with Emma. On Christmas morning I made Aeblekivers (Danish pancake balls) for breakfast. They weren't as tasty as my mom's though. That afternoon we visited with my family and Matt's family on the webcam. It almost felt like we were really there in CA with them. For dinner we went to a friends house and had dinner with their family. God has truly blessed us this year and we are excited to see what he has in store for us in this next coming year!

Welcome Emma Ann Eveland!!

We welcomed our baby girl into the world on December 3, 2009 at 7:43am. She weighed 9lbs 4 oz. Everything went very smoothly and she is a healthy little baby. We were able to go home on the 5th, making our stay at the hospital very short. :) I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for all your prayers for us through out this whole pregnancy and delivery. God has had his hand on us the entire time and I cannot thank him enough for all the blessings he has given us.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
