Christmas 2011

Zoe insists that the newly created

Lego creature is part of the family Christmas photo

We spent Christmas this year at Grandma and Grandpa's house, finishing up with a small celebration at home. We drove all the way there, but Zoe was well rewarded upon arrival.

We were also rewarded with pentiful snow and col weather.  The snow only stuck for a few days, but Zoe enjoyed playing in the little bit we had.  Grandma won pretty much all of the snowball fights.  That's what growing up in Wisconsin will get you.

a new train!

plentiful bounty

new cape, skirt, and bear

 We took a few hikes up in the woods to check out the bugs and sticks and stones.

An enjoyable holiday break!
