Even More Cousin Time

All of our cousins were assembled for Reemtsma Christmas, so we were able to get a few pictures of all of us. Dad thought this one was probably the best.

Cousin Time

We spent some time with the Bierstedts to celebrate Christmas. Here's a picture of us where Dad was able to get most of us to look and most of us to smile.

My Favorite Present of Christmas....

Perhaps it is my Dyson, which is just like my Dad's.

Christmas Eve at Northwood Church

Our church had a nice Christmas Eve service, with the boys singing in the kid's choir.



Ainsley was too young to sing this year, but will likely make an appearance in whatever comes next year.

Gingerbread at Kimberly Lane

Ben's class made "gingerbread" houses on the last day before winter break. Mom, Dad and Ainsley came in to help.



We were then serenaded by songs about multiplication and few traditional holiday songs.

Santa!

We heard that Santa was going to be eating dinner at Famous Dave's in Maple Grove, so we decided to see him there. Unfortunately, my brothers decided to beat each other up in the car, so Dad made them stay home.

As you can see, I didn't exactly enjoy my time with Santa, but he said he would bring me what I had on my list because I have been pretty good.

Gingerbread House 2010

We got a gingerbread house kit and made it today during Snowmageddon! Dad had just come in from an hour and a half of snow blowing us out (hence his shirt) when we all asked to make it.


Here's the finished product!

The Holidazzle

Earlier tonight, we went to see the Holidazzle Parade. In fact, we give it two thumbs up.


If you've never seen the Holidazzle, here's a snippet.

Ringing the Bell

We went to ring the bell for the Salvation Army today. At first, we didn't have a bell, but then they brought us one. Shout out to Aunty Jen for spiking the kettle for us.

Another "Cool Creation"

I like to make cool LEGO creations and send them to the "Cool Creations" column in the LEGO magazine. Eventually, they'll pick me!

Pictures with Peanut, Max and Ruby

Mom and Dad haven't been the best with taking pictures of us with Peanut, Max and Ruby, so when we had the idea last night, we ran with it. We proudly present Ainsley's 16 month picture with Ruby (supposed to be her 1 year), Cameron's 6 and a half year picture with Max (two weeks late), and Ben's 9 year old picture with Peanut (two weeks early).

2010 School Pictures

We brought home our school pictures today.



Please let Dad know if you'd like the hi-res versions in color, black and white, or sapient. We paid extra for a license to use these.

I voted. Did you?

Well, did you?

Halloween 2010

We went trick or treating last night and it was a lot of fun. As you can see, we dressed up as Harry Potter, Darth Vader and Tinkerbell.

Our New Backyard

We know this blog is mostly about us, but we thought you might like to see our new backyard.

Here is what it looked like "before". This was even before the new deck was stained, but it gives you a good idea of what the "landscape" looked like.


Here is the after.
