Merry Christmas in the U.P. - Part 2

The fun continued after Christmas!

My second time on skates - getting better...
Happy New Year from Max, Noah, and Koen!
Grandpa Bob needed lots of help plowing - I manned the plow controls.

Happy Birthday Grandma Chris!
So kind of you to share your birthday cupcake with me, Grandma :-)

Third time's a charm - look at me cruisin' out there!
Can't say as much for Grandpa Bob.


I waited for snow for more than 2 weeks to build this guy!
We worked hard on our art projects with Great-Grandma Neva!
We love you, Grandpa and Grandma!

Merry Christmas in the U.P. - Part 1

We spent our first week in Hancock enjoying lots of fun Christmas activities with our family.  We headed out right away on our first morning for a horse-drawn wagon ride through one of the nearby towns.  It was COLD but lots of fun :-)

We celebrated Christmas with Great-Grandma Glo a little early this year since she was heading out of town.  We all had a great time!

Next on the list was constructing and decorating our gingerbread village.

Grandpa Bob had the right idea this year - no more lugging those sleds up the hill!

Christmas cookie time!


Giddyup!

I think Jesus would like this birthday cake!
It's Christmas Eve and we're feeling goofy!!




We got to start the fun early this year and opened presents at Nana's house on Christmas Eve.  My Angry Birds game was an instant favorite!


Don't let that crocodile bite your fingers!
Let me help you with that, Dad.  A 6-lb pork belly is no match for me!

Merry Christmas!
These Hex Bugs are awesome!!!!!

This looks like a perfect place to try out my new markers!

I found these "Uncle Ray's potato chips" just for you!
And Uncle Ray found something just for me...

Brunch at Nana's


More Christmas with Great-Grandma Neva
Oh boy, an air hockey set - are we ever going to have fun with this!
Time to tickle the ivories...with our feet!
Now I can listen to "Koen's songs" whenever I want!

Time to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus!
The perfect end to a wonderful celebration :-)
