Happy New Year 2009!

New Year's Day was spent at my sister Sharon's house with way too much food (but it was all so yummy!), games and just hanging out. Nice way to start out the new year. Brittney, Heather and Tess

Snow Day

The snowplow makes a huge pile of snow that the boys love to play on. Koda usually gets in on the action with them . . . Kristoffer doesn't like to have his picture taken, so he throws snowballs at me . . . Stinker! Koda LOVES to play with a ball in the snow. Sometimes he buries the ball a little too deep . . .

Funny dog!

Christmas Fun

Christmas Day 2008 started out as it usually does. Kristoffer and Erik were awake at 6:00am, begging us to get up to open presents. After presents, we had a nice breakfast with waffles and eggs, and then we all played with our new toys. The boys played a Wii game, I played with my new iPhone, and Tor browsed through a book (sounds like he got the short end of the stick, doesn't it? He got a new ski jacket, sunglasses and a dvd, also). Then it was off to grandma's and grandpa's house for lunch and more gifts. We had a very nice day.
