December 31

Took Daisy out for some
exercise and fresh air 

And ... I made it!! I was not only impressed
with the fact that I made it to midnight, but loved
the temps happening too!

Wanting to crochet a few
more Santa hats for our munchkins :)

My tree ornament from
Thea & Ravae :)

Conrad needed to practice setting up
his ice fishing hut/tent to prepare
for tomorrow

December 28 ... One more gathering :)

Ben gets a very intense look on his face
when he's 'Ho Ho Ho - ing'  :)

Puzzle time

Maybe one of the best
pics of my Christmas season! :)

December 27

Aaaahhhh ... sun!  I think I might actually
have run for the family room window to bask
in the sunshine when it came out!
And no, that isn't all dirty windows you're seeing ...
there were big fluffy flakes of snow falling at the time too!

Went to check out Thea's
Christmas gifts

December 26 ... Boxing Day with the Brauns

Brad brought along their old 'chnips bratt' ...
made many years ago by our Uncle Ben

Brigitte was getting some help  from
her girls in the game we were playing

Troy came to add something
to our game ... ??

December 25

And continuing to take advantage

of the mild weather :)

Jess & Thea taking a crack at the hill

Ravae was not totally sold on
 the whole sledding and outdoors idea

And adding to their load ...

Conrad also decided that we needed to
take advantage of the mild weather 

Quad/sled rides went over well

Carla finally put Ravae's soother in
to keep her from eating wrapping paper :)

Investigating new toys

The aftermath

Ben's reaction to his Santa pj's
was priceless!

Such perfect weather for getting some fresh air ...
