Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve in Hatton with Grandma Violet (Walsvik). Sadly, it was our last Christmas at the farm because Grandma is moving to Fargo next fall! We are excited to have her so much closer, but so sad that we will not be able to have any more Christmas Eve celebrations at the farm. It was a great day!!

Uncle Matt is telling the photographer something inappropriate!!

Even with all our new toys, a matress on the basement floor is still THE MOST FUN!

Last weekend, we had our BMWWW Christmas! BMWWW = Brekken, Mauch, Walsvik, Wiltse, & Wahlund - my whole (mom's side) of the family! We had such a great time...even Santa came!! I wasn't scared of him like I was last year...I kept giving him hugs and kisses! I LOVE SANTA!

Some of the presents underneath my Christmas tree!

Ethan and I having a little snack before dinner...Gma's lefse is the BEST!

Waiting patiently to open gifts!

Starting to get a little silly...

We are all pondering why it is taking so long for everyone to settle down and open gifts...um...

Tickle Fight! Uncle Matt is winning!

SANTA! SANTA!!

You wouldn't happen to have a present for me, would you Santa?

THANK YOU SANTA! You gave me a gift! We love Santa!

Christmas Tree, playing outside and cookie baking!

We have had a very busy winter so far....lots of baking, playing outside and decorating for christmas!

Mommy showed me how to make snow angels...it is my favorite!

Sittin', Chillin', no big deal.

Mom and Dad are real slave drivers...they made me shovel!

It was my first snowman...Daddy was teaching me so much!

We had to put snow everywhere!

Helping Mommy decorate the tree...I wanted to do it by myself!

I liked to throw the "balls" at the tree...Mommy even found a big cluster of decor balls inside of the tree! so funny!

Posing by the finished product...now we just need to get lots of presents!

Cookie baking at Gma Kathy's house!

All the cookie bakers with Great Gma Dorris - notice how I am playing with tractors instead of posing so nicely with my female cousins?
