As I Was Saying

I don't know what it was about Christmas this year - it was just magical for some reason. I took some time off of work, and didn't even check my email. The kids got along and every day was full of fun. I came through the other side really marveling at how great our family is and how special our time together can be. 

 

Here's a little run-down:

 

Lots of sledding! Bryce's friend Chris brought his family up and we spent the day hitting the hills.

 

Zoo Lights. Always a hit!

 

Bowling. We even got a tantrum from Jack just like the last time we went!

And missing teeth. Jack lost his first tooth a couple of days after Christmas.

Let's do it again sometime!  Okay, maybe not the missing teeth part, but all the rest for sure!

This Christmas

This Christmas was just amazing (more about that later), and the freshly fallen snow and excellent company were some major highlights:

Me, Aunt Carol, and Mom

My cute dad and I

O Christmas Tree

It makes my heart so happy.

 

Controlled Chaos

It wouldn't be Christmas without the Barber Christmas Party.  We love this event!

 

 

 

 

Graham Cracker Houses

It's a proud Thomsen tradition!  What else can I say?
