Christmas Pics in February

So, um, Hi.

How ya been?

I know, I'm a tad bit behind. Don't worry, I'll diligently spend the next week or two catching you up. But first, I had to post these Christmas pictures for our sake, as I'm sure you haven't been holding your breath waiting for Roisum Christmas pictures. :) I print this blog as use it as a family journal, so I gotta get all this stuff on here.

We had my favorite tree EVER this year, so you'll see a few pictures of it. It was actually hard for me to see it go.

Jack was so funny about his Christmas outfit this year. I had these gorgeous gray wool patchwork pants for him and a very handsome gray handknit sweater to match - he was NOT pleased. Informed me that he needed to wear RED for Christmas, and what was I thinking? Gray does NOT look like Christmas, mom. So back to the store I went, and he was happy with my next attempt:

I slaved away at making albums for the boys of their entire year - they turned out great, and the boys LOVED studying the pictures of 2009. Most of the pictures they hadn't even seen because they're all on the computer!

After a quiet Christmas morning alone at our house, we headed up to my mom and dad's (and got snowed in). :) This is me and my sis with my mom and dad (missed you, Josh!!)

This was my sister's van. By the time the storm was done, you could only see a glimpse of the back end.

Here's our truck:

My mom and dad's driveway turned into a sledding hill . . .

For New Year's Eve, we had friends over for the night, and they brought their dog and new puppy. He was sooooo cute - and just tiny!! Murphy had a great time entertaining his buddies.

Just a random updated picture of Murphy - he grew up!! He always gets this BORED look on his face when I pull out the camera.

All my boys settled in to watch the 2nd to last Vikings game. That was a happy day. The last Vikings game was NOT.

Whew! There. Got those out of the way. More to come in the next few days . . .
