Christmas 2009 Part 1

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We are curently in Int'l Falls celabrating Christmas. We have been busy the past two days here. The Offerdahl's came a day early (Wed) and we came Thursday morning.   Christmas Eve we decorated cookies, made egg's and baccon pretzels, seldding down the little and big hill at the house and have got in the hot tub.  We even did a little Christmas Program before we open our gifts.

Christmas Day we open gifts, played with all of our new toys and then we went to the Fire Department. What you say the Fire Department. Yes! We went the and brought a fruit basket and a plate of goodies for the workers. The kids got to check out the fire trucks and we had a good visit (photos to follow at a later date)

Both Braden and Ava got what they wanted from Santa this year. A DS game system for Braden and a "girl" Leapster for Ava. 

Below are some photos from the past 24 hours. Enjoy!

Christmas Program at Church

My little Angel and Shepard did a great job at the Christmas program at church today.

December

We have  been having fun the December!

Braden is in hockey 3 times a week with games on Saturday.  He has even found my old roller blades and has been using them in the driveway to play hockey.  Last week he has his Christmas concert at school and it was a delight to see him up with all of his classmates.

Ava has been busy helping me bake all of the time and playing with her dolls.  My friend from high school made Ava that cute pink hat.  We got it in the mail today and she had to have me post it on the blog to show everyone how cute she looked!
