Shoveling for the first time this winter!!

On January 22nd, it was a Sunday, we finally got some measurable snow. The kids were excited to get out and shovel and play in the snow. It wasn't a lot of snow but the most we'd gotten all winter. I think Lane shoveled the driveway 3 times! We had fun playing in the white stuff for the first time this winter!!

Time for some fun in the snow. Jacob pulling MaKena in the sled.





Looks like hard work!

Christmas Gifts from Uncle Justin and Auntie Laura

Ok, I know, I'm extremely behind on my posts. I finally sat down at the computer and upload a bunch of pictures for posts. I promise to have several post in the next few weeks. Sorry for the delay.


Back in January, the kids received some fun packages from Uncle Justin and Auntie Laura. Justin and Laura were unable to make it back to Moorhead for Christmas this year so they shipped some gifts off to the kids. MaKena could barely wait to open her gifts. Thankfully I had the camera ready to go! She was excited about her new horse coloring book. She loves horses! She also got a cute little outfit with a headband. She is one stylish little girl!


Jacob opened his presents from Justin and Laura and he knew what it was right away.... a movie. He got Cars II and a Minnesota Twins banner. Jacob loves the Twins and he got loaded up with Twins gear this year for his birthday. Papa Pete would be so proud that his oldest grandson is as big of a Twins fan as he used to be!

She had to hold up the pants too!

Showing off the Twins banner on the outside of the gift. It's already hanging on his wall.
