Christmas

Carsten got a special gift from Grandma Dee Dee and was happy to ride his Radio Flyer Fire Truck and said "wow" after opening every gift. He has been busy playing with his cars and trucks after Christmas and loves everything he got. I thought he would like the dinosaur I bought, but hopefully he will come around.




Carsten was so excited to spend Christmas with his big cousins "Al-Lec" and "Lou-Lou" he wants to do anything they do and thinks they are so funny. It was great to see Cartsen open up the gifts and give to us and say "open."









These are pictures of Christmas Eve and the day before Christmas Eve when we went to church.

Hometown Holidays, Vikings and the Last Couple of Weeks

We are busy getting ready for the holidays and enjoying the beautiful weather and the arrival of Santa Claus. Carsten knows who santa is, but prefers him from a distance. Mitch and I were able to see the Vikes play against the Cardinals and it was a very dissapointing loss. There are a lot of Vikings fans to help commiserate with. The nieghborhood had our tree lighting with Santa, sleigh rides and even Snow...these Arizona kids don't know what snow is. We also had a holiday party with Carsten's friends and moms in the neighborhood. It was lots of fun and the kids played well together and decorate cookies, or ate cookies before decorating.
