Unfortunately we witnessed the Vikings' heartbreaking loss to the Saints, but it's still fun to get together with our family for game day. I think Grace and Ryan are cute little Vikings fans.

Gloves
January 18, 2010
Grace walked up to me one day wearing her Dad's hat and gloves. I thought she looked so funny and I asked her to smile for a picture. Here she is with her classic picture face (teethy smile with squinty eyes). What a goof.

Family Movie Night
January 16, 2010
A couple months ago Scott and I declared a "family movie night". We rented UP! and we all got comfy with blankets, pillows, and popcorn. It was a good movie by the way. Ever since then Ryan will periodically ask if we can have a family movie night. On January 16th Scott was gone, but I agreed to Ryan's request and we rented Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Good movie, fun times.
Girls Weekend
January 9, 2010
My friends and I (Kris, Carrie, Julie, and me) decided to have a Girls Weekend away. All 4 of us were roommates in college at UMD and since Julie lives a few hours away we don't get to see her very often. She suggested we get together at the casino in Hinckley and the rest of us jumped at the idea. I shouldn't call it a girls "weekend" since we only got away for one day/evening but close enough. Kris, Carrie, and I headed up north Saturday afternoon with a couple stops along the way for food and refreshments -- Big Daddy's Bar & Grill in Harris and Chubby's in Pine City. We met Julie at the casino and went from there. First, talking and catching up in the hotel room and a game of Imaginiff. Next, a little gambling - Carrie and Julie were the lucky ones tonight. I think Kris and I were jealous. Then, some drinks in the casino bar while we listened to the country band. After that we headed out... to a bar down the road where we played pool, listened to some good music, talked, and had a good time. We ended the night with a game of euchre (which brings us back to our college days) in our hotel room and then it was sleepy time. It was a fun night. I wish it could've lasted longer. Hopefully this will be an annual event for us.

Crayon Fingers

I think the kids and I were bored so we decided to get goofy with some of their crayons.

Christmas Day 2009
Christmas morning was fun this year! Ryan is at the age where he gets really excited to see what Santa left for him. Grace had fun too. After opening presents and hanging out for awhile, we spent Christmas Day with the Hackett family. I wish I had taken more pictures!
Ryan is really into LEGO sets now. That was the top thing on his list this year.
Scott got a new suitcase.
Another LEGO set for Ryan (from Kurt and Ann). He's so happy!
Ryan and I started assembling one of his LEGO sets. We enjoy working on it together.

Christmas Eve 2009
We spent Christmas Eve 2009 at my parents house. It had snowed a lot the day/night before so on the drive up there we took it easy because of the weather.
Before arriving at my parents we made one stop to see my grandma (Charlotte / Grandma T.). She was recovering from pneumonia and didn't feel up to traveling with us, so we wanted to visit her. I'm glad we got to spend some time with her. She said it was her first time spending Christmas Eve all alone.
Grace didn't want to cooperate in the pictures we took (she kept closing her eyes on purpose).
When we finally arrived at my parent's house, we all had a good time hanging out together.
