We had such an awesome Christmas this year! We were lucky enough to be able to spend it with both sets of grandparents up at my family's lake home. It was pretty close to perfect! We enjoyed the foot of fresh snow by sledding, making snow angels, building forts and snowmen. We played games, made a birthday cake for Jesus, and ate way too many Swedish Meatballs! Of course the celebration wasn't complete without gifts galore, over-loaded stockings, and an ever-anticipated visit from Santa! We felt so blessed!
There were too many cute pictures, so I uploaded a ton. Be sure to check out the video clip of Merek singing "Jingle Bells".
Makee and Paca are behind the cameras on this shot.
Here they are with the kids before church.
Putting on long-johns... the first of many layers under the snow suits. No wonder it takes so much time getting 3 kids ready to go outside!
Daddy out on the rink with his girls!
Grandma, our personal Zamboni!
Gearing up Merek for his first attempt at skating. At first he's all smiles...
... then a change of heart! Doesn't this look like the face a future Fighting Sioux defense man?!
Present Time!
Dinosaurs, trucks, Barbie & Three Musketeers, Zhu - Zhu Pets, Webkinz, swords... you name it and it was under the tree!
