Family Christmas

We had our family Christmas at Grandma's last night.  Unfortunately, it was a pretty short celebration since everyone left early because we had blowing & drifting snow.  We also had our Christmas services canceled at church today because the wind is still blowing.

 

Kaela is working hard on her fuzzy poster.  I used to love these also when I was her age.

O Christmas Tree

My mom just bought me this Christmas tree for Christmas yesterday.  It is very important that those who know me well know that this was my FIRST Christmas present this year!!  :P

Also, on Sunday night, I went to the Ecumenical Choir concert in town which a couple of other friends were in.

Christmas Caroling

 

Reindeer antlers are awesome!  These had bells & twinkly lights.

Fun at the park

Today I had Dad drop me & the dogs off at the park & we walked back to Mom & Dad's from there.   Diego & Dante had a blast running through the snow.  It was quite funny to watch them bouncing along in the snow to reach ALL the trees.  :)

 

Check out the tongue - he is loving this!

This is Dante after he jumped in a snow bank that was a little too deep.

Apparently, something smells good here - to them at least.

Fun at the Mall of America

This past weekend I went up to the cities with some friends to do some Christmas shopping at the Mall of America.  We went up Friday night & stayed with my aunt & uncle.  On Saturday we made our trip to the mall.  I don't think that anyone bought too much (you would have to carry all those bags).  We mostly went up to have fun anyway.  We ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe & just had fun!!
