Over the River and Through the Woods

Merry Christmas in Swedish

Each week flies by quicker than the previous week.  We're enjoying this time of year, but it seems to be going by way too quickly (hopefully January and February will go by just as quickly???).  We started off the weekend with our first Christmas program of the season.  This program was at Natalie's school and she knew all of the songs by heart, including hand motions. 

The weekend continued with a trip to Scandia, Minnesota, our own version of Sweden in the Mid-West.  We then went on a COLD nice a nice walk in the woods to see the St. Croix River, a tributary of the Mississippi River.  In hindsight, I suppose we may have planned a bit better with the girls attire.  But, they were extremely obedient - Joe had instructed them to wear the clothes from last nights program again before putting them in the wash.  I don't think he meant exactly the next morning.

My favorite people.

Who says you can only relax by the water in the summertime?
Linnea's learning how to be a photographer - Joe had asked her to focus on our faces :o)
And completed the day with the annual model train set-up.


And puzzles...

Ending with a little goofiness courtesy of candy canes.
Natalie says, "I don't know why Willow keeps biting me"....I think I may know.

 And so the season continues.  We hope that you are enjoying your Christmas season!
