More Christmas fun and a start to a wonderful 2012


This is what we spent our Christmas break doing....the weather was in the 40's and there was lots of fun stuff to do outside at the lake!

Grandpa cleared off the ice and started to make a skating rink!










Gretchen loved sledding and having someone pull her majesty around (including the furry beast FLETCHER)






The boys got Tackle buddies this year so for a few hours they were wrestling them and not each other!!!

We started an outside fire and enjoyed the weather, roasted a few marshmellows and counted our blessings! What a wonderful time together with family!



Christmas Fun!


Gunnar loved making the Ginger Bread house and he decorated it all by himself!













Merry Christmas... at the lake!
