Christmas Vacation 2010

Twas the night before Christmas and Avery left cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for each of the reindeer. She also wrote a nice thank you note for the presents that would soon be delivered.

Morning came and presents had arrived. 7:20 am not too early to open gifts.

Off to grandma's house we went...

Twas the day after Christmas...and there were still more presents.

It wasn't a white Christmas but the snow did eventually show up.

Christmas Cruise

Appetizers at Daniel's and then a Christmas Cruise with the gang.

Snow Days

Avery and Neil extended their vacation by two days due to the pre-Thanksgiving "Arctic Blast". Sledding on the hill outside was great until the city decided to sand the hill. So much for budget cuts.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Fun filled Halloween Weekend

Camping at Ft.Casey

What a great way to wrap up the summer! We spent Friday-Monday at Ft. Casey with Mark, Kim, Jacob, Ben, Steph, Greg, Morgan, Little Avery, Brad and Tila (And Eric & Paula on Monday). We ate, ate and ate some more. Went fishing, played on the beach, checked out the Fort, went to Walmart-twice and only got rained on on Monday. Such great memories, can't for more to come!



Neil got pooped on, isn't that supposed to bring good luck?
