Winter in WI

This winter has been VERY cold and VERY snowy so we haven't been able to spend a lot of time outside like in past years.  Here's a few pics of the girls enjoying some time at Grammie and Grampie's house.

Christmas Time at the Cabin

We opened presents at home Christmas morning and then headed to the cabin to see the Taxdahl side.  The girls got leap pads and lalaloopsy dolls and were so excited.  They also got a ton of other gifts, so luckily we have the basement set up for a playroom now.  Even Stoli got in the first picture.

Santa Time!

The girls wrote a letter to Santa on Christmas Eve.  They were so excited for him to come this year.  We also had to leave him some cookies to eat for his long night.

Christmas Time with Gretta and Caroline!

We got to spend time with Lori, Marty, Gretta, Caroline, Terry, Karen, Bryce, Debbie, Keith and Mary over the holidays.  It's always so special to get to see them and I just cherish every minute we're together since we are separated by many miles.  The girls are always shy at first but as you can see through some of the pictures below they warmed up a lot.

Lance's favorite part of visiting is working on the puzzles at Christopherson's.

More Baking...

We made some cookies that my family always had when growing up.  They are my favorite so I wanted to keep up the tradition.  The bottom picture is what Blake and Kennedy helped with.  They were great "helpers". 

Christmas Time at Auntie Jenni's House

We celebrated another Christmas at Auntie Jenni's house with the Rasmussens and Grammie and Grampie.  It was nice to have us all able to be there again this year.

At least Tamara smiled for the picture.

Megan is such a character!

Christmas Time - Grandpa Lenny and Jason

Grandpa Lenny and Jason came over to celebrate Christmas and the girls were overly spoiled as usual.  Here are some pics of the celebration.

Aftin was chasing Grandpa Lenny because he stole her doll as you can see by his shirt.

Lots and lots of presents!

Christmas Program Time!

The girls sang so great at their daycare Christmas program this year.  A huge improvement from last year.  The songs were so cute and it was the perfect amount of time for the kids to be up at the front of the church.  Afterwards was a lot of running around and it was hard to get pictures with the grandparents because they were not interested in sitting for them.  It was so great having all the grandparents come though to watch the girls.
