3rd Christmas

Our final Christmas was at Kurt and Jill's. We had a lot of fun. Both Kevin and Erik played tea party with Emma, it was so cute! A bunch of us played a few games of Dutch Blitz. Here Bonnie thought that she wouldn't be fast and I believe that she won quite a few rounds! All the kids had a great time and I think that we adults did too.

Christmas #2

Ryan, Jenn, Olivia, Levi, Annelise and Luke couldn't make it on Christmas Eve. Livie and Annie both had strep so we did another Christmas with them the Thursday after. On Friday the whole Nordlund clan went downtown to Macy's to see the Mary Poppins display. We had a lot of fun taking the train from Mall of America all the way there. We are so happy that the girls felt better so that they could make it.

First Christmas

We had a very busy Christmas week. Our first Christmas weekend we had Aimee over for dinner and then the four of us opened presents. Mari slept through the entire gift opening! Chubby got himself a new bed and some treats. Aimee as you can see loved her gifts of a picture of Mari and a Dwight Schrute (I have no idea how to spell his last name) bobble head from "The Office." Kyle was happy to receive the Millennium Falcon transformer, some miniature transformers and a book. I was thrilled to get a Kitchen Aid a rocking chair and a bracelet. Mari loved her clothes, toys, ladybug and name plaque. We still have two more Christmases to cover!

Naps, Eyes & Snakes

Just thought I would update some of Mari's pictures before I get going on the many Christmas ones! She likes to smile a lot in her sleep, as you can see. Mari's still a little skeptic of the camera. We went to Ikea and Auntie Aimee and I wondered what she would look like in the "snake pit." Cute we thought.
