Wordless Wednesday!!

Christmas 2010

Snacks ready for Santa!

Stocking were hung by the chimney stairs with care!

This was the first year I put the presents under the tree BEFORE Xmas Eve and I am happy to report that no one got into them.  In fact I also put candy canes on the tree this year and no one ate one with out asking!  Yay for progress!

Even fish food is exciting on Christmas!  Thanks Aunt Melissa for the Christmas presents for the pets!

Praying? 

Wow, look at those faces!  Maybe they should have slept past 6 in the morning!

Officer Carter at your service!

Everybody with their presents from Great Grandpa Jack and Great Grandma Bertha! 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Some "Sideways" Sledding video

Sorry about the sideways video.  Still getting use to doing video on my camera and didn't realize that by turning it vertically it would make my video sideways!!

There's No Fun Like Snow Fun!!

Taking a ride in the sled Grandpa Jack fixed up for Michael when he was little!

 Best buddies building a snow fort!

 Shoveling and hauling snow with the sleds!

 Cause we tend to be spur of the moment people after a little while being outside I decided to take the kids sledding.  We found a nice snow pile at the pool parking lot and the kids had a great time building runs and sledding down.  The paths weren't very long, but that was okay because it meant it wasn't a long walk back to the top!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

A couple Saturdays ago we got our first "measureable" amount of snow!!  The kids were so excited to get their snow gear on and get out in it to play. 

The "Art" of Making Kringla

Before the church program on Sunday my mother in law came over so that I could try to help her learn to make Kringla.  Needless to say it was an adventure.  Turned out none of us really knew how to make the shapes correctly.  It was all good though.  We got just enough presentable ones for Christmas!!  While we were working on that the kids werer making and frosting sugar cookies.  We had made some cutout cookies earlier in the week as well!  It took a minute to figure out why Carter kept needing more dough so fast.  He was cutting out a cookie in the middle of the dough and then eating the rest that was left!!
