Sampa

Carsten was excited to see Santa or "Sampa" as he calls him. He told Santa he wanted cars for Christmas...we'll see if Santa comes through.

Music Class

A fun day at music class.

Coyotes!

So, I think Carsten has some Minnesota blood in him because he loves hockey. We went to a hockey game last weekend and he was yelling and dancing and cheering the whole time. We have even had to watch some Coyotes on tv. The howling is inside him and go Coyotes!

Disney

We love Disney and everytime I go I am reminded by why I love it so much. But, this time it was different. Carsten is finally at an age where he "gets it" and his excitement and happiness is infectious. We saw so many characters and he was a pro after a bit and had his routine all down. We saw the fireworks and the new light show at California Adventure which was amazing. Mainly, I was so happy to be with my family and have the opportunity to share in this special memory together. We were also able to spend a day with our friends, The Tallmans. The little boys had a blast together and the spirit of Halloween was definitely in the air.

Happy Halloween

Carsten had a blast this Halloween as Handy Manny. It was the first year he actually trick or treated and got some candy which he thought was amazing and was bouncing off the walls at the end of the night. Mitch and I dressed up too and that was fun as well.

M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A

We were able to visit MN a couple of weeks ago and it was nice to see family and friends. I love being able to see Carsten play with his cousins and just get right in the mix. We were sad to go and we miss everyone dearly, but it is also nice to be home too.

Puttin on the Ritz

We went to the Ritz-Carlton last weekend on Dove Mountain and had a great time. It was gorgeous weather and of course the resort was beautiful. Thank you to the AZ Dental Association for deciding to have your convention here.
