Christmas Memories


Happy New Year already! I wanted to share some highlights from our Christmas in Minnesota before I started sharing pictures from 2009. We had a great time. Madison asked Derrick, "Dad, can we go see the cows?" We new it was time to bundle up in the freezing cold temperatures and let the girls experience a little bit of farm life. Madison was really interested in both the pigs and cows. Breanne would soak it all in, but didn't dare get too close!

Then we were
off to Beaver Creek to visit my grandparents. Madi & Breanne know this Grandma Great as the one who sends them Dora Animal Crackers. It was fun to visit with them.

We went to Grandma Edna's on Christmas Eve. It was the first time any of the Great Grandparents got to meet Aliya. She adjusted to the time away from home quite well and it was the first time she started sleeping 9-10hours at night consistantly. VERY NICE for mom!
On the day we left Minnesota, Breanne's only question was, "Mom, which grandma are we going to next?" It's a lot of grandma and grandma-greats to see in one week for a 3 year old. I said, we were going to go meet Grady & Gavin at a hotel and go swimming with them. Madi & Bre no more than heard me say it and they were ready to get in their car seats and go.
We stayed in Bismark at a Ramkota hotel with a waterpark. It went quick, but was so fun to visit and watch the kids play.
