Christmas in Winter Wonderland

As I mentioned before we were all together this year for Christmas back in Minnesota. We weren't too camera-happy, however, so my photographic evidence is quite limited.

Before Christmas this is how Sierra and I spent our time off:

This is how Thayden spent his time off (notice the energy radiating from his face as he stands still for 2 seconds for this photo before he runs after Ti):

Christmas Eve Troy, the kids and I went to church in Redwood with Troy's family and then went out to Gamma's for our family Christmas.
My pretty baby girl with her beautiful Nana:

Our family that night. Unfortunately we were all looking at a different camera...anyone want to send me the pic from a better angle? It looks like it would be a good one with both kids kind of smiling!!!


Sorry to disappoint but no pictures of the oyster stew and lutefisk. Actually, the lutefisk didn't come out until later this year (dessert?) Here is a few brief glimpses of what the chaos is of present opening for the little ones.Christmas Day morning we celebrated a my mom's house and then we drove into Redwood to Troy's parents. Thayden and Sierra have a new little cousin, Max, who we got to meet for the first time! At 10 weeks (compared to Sierra at 10 months) you can see he is quite a bit better at that growing thing than my kids are!

Sierra does still have him beat by quite a bit for length...but not for long I am sure! Sierra checking out cousin Max.


That pretty much wraps up our holiday vacation. Now it has been back to the grind for the new year!
