Christmas and Sledding on New Years Day

We had a wonderful Christmas - all three of them!  Sunday the 23rd in New Richmond (sorry, we forgot the camera), the 24th and 25th just the two of us (so relaxing!) and Saturday the 29th with the kids and grandkids (totally awesome).  My wish for everyone next year - to enjoy three fabulous Christmases like we did in 2012.

Jack, Parker, Dan and Dave went sledding on New Years Day (I was the camerawoman).  It was chilly -  brrrrrrrrr. The movie is awesome - listen to Dan and Parker (which one of them hollers Ya Hoo at the end???) and followed by Jack and Dave (with someone telling everyone to "get out of the way").

Total. Holiday. Awesomeness. 

Enjoy.

Parker is fearless.  So is Dave.  A perfect match  :-)

Check out this video of sliding down the St. Olaf hill.  Such fun!!


Dave, Jack and Parker went to get the tree.  Dave picked one, Jack picked one.  Parker looked at both and picked Jack's tree.  Our best tree ever.

Oh the weather outside is frightful.....

Thumbs up!  Let's hit this hill!


Can you tell who this is?  We recognize the smile!  It's Jack!

Kevin, our neighbor, said "what a great tree! It doesn't obstruct your view out the window". Kevin is a positive thinker, just like us.
