Sledding Fun!

It finally snowed! Yay!! The boys have been looking forward to this day for monthes! There was barely enough snow for the boys to go sledding, but it didn't stop them. Mitchell went and filled up the tubes himself and off they went even though it was freezing outside! The kids had a blast with their new tubes that they got from their aunts for Christmas. What Fun!

Van Zee Christmas 2011

After we got done with the Olson side, we headed to the Van Zee side for the rest of the night. The kids took alittle cat nap in the car along the way. We did some caroling for some shut in's at church and then we went to Connie's house for dinner. After dinner the kids opened gifts, they got alittle spoiled. Angie decided to have a scavenger hunt for Mitchell and Connor for one of their gifts, so they enjoyed searching for their next gift. The kids had a great time and we enjoyed watching them opening them. The boys are very blessed to have so many people who love them! We stayed over night and poor Nanc and Ang didn't get much sleep with our kids on the floor. We had a great breakfast in the morning to end the wonderful time we had.

Olson Christmas 2011

We had a bittersweet Christmas this year on my side. Although we missed dad, we often noted that dad is spending his first Christmas in heaven. The kids had a blast together. We opened presents and then let the kids play while us adults socialized. It was a relaxing evening. We made a digital scrapbook of memories at the Olson's house that was updated as a keepsake for mom. Mom really enjoyed it and it was one of her favorite gifts. We all went to church on Christmas morning at Second CRC and listened to mom and Sharesa sing and then had Christmas dinner at mom's house with some extended family. Here's a few pictures of our time together.
