Christmas

Now that we have finally celebrated all of our Christmases I can post photos!
What a holiday season! A snow storm on Christmas Day really through a wrench in our plans, as it did for most families.
We spent Christmas Eve in Minot with my dad's side of the family. We did not make it to Aberdeen or Sioux Falls as planned for that weekend but at least we were snowbound with my folks and not on the side of the road!
Christmas with Simon's side was celebrated the next week. Thankfully all were able to make it.


Here are photos from our Holiday season :)

Grandpa Loren & Gretta looking at her new baby craddle he made her




Mari wearing one of the outfits from the suitcase full of dress up clothes for Grandma Sandy. Mari was speechless for a good 10 minutes, she was in such awe of the gift.
