It was our year for a Minnesota Christmas. Lots of cousin, grandparents, and snow time! Highlights included a special Christmas-lit sleeping fort in the basement for the grandkids, setting up model trains, snowman building, gingerbread houses, trampolining, ice skating, tubing, sock animal sewing, Christmas light hunting, and of course the cabin. I'll let the pictures say the rest.
 |
| We opened some gifts before leaving California. The medieval dragon lego set was a big hit, as were the laser tag set and a new basketball. |
 |
| It was raining when we arrived in Minnesota, but that didn't stop Justin from building a snowman. |
 |
| All the cousins enjoyed the trampoline park. |
 |
| It was hard getting everyone to be still enough for a picture! Carl, Justin, Micah, Brianna, Elissa, and Kaitlyn |
 |
| Justin finally made a basket! |
