Christmas Part I

Last Saturday we went to Casselton for the Brekken/Mauch/Walsvik/Wiltse/Wahlund (BMW3) Christmas Celebration! I had a great time...after I took a nap, ate, cooled down and warmed up to everyone! I got some awesome gifts; including a new semi, a new loader, a puzzle with my name on it, a tractor with a pig on it & some clothes! Mom said I scored big time!

Mom wanted to take a picture of all our presents by our tree...I think we need a bigger tree soon! Notice that only 1/2 of the tree is decorated - that is because I think every ornament is a ball!

On our way to Casselton - Dad is showing some awesome Christmas Spirit! He's the BEST.

I was starving when we got there and couldn't wait for Christmas dinner...so I had a BBQ :)

Santa came to visit a little early!!! Here he is posing with Gma Jan, Ethan & Colston! Too bad I'm really really scared of Santa!!

This is me crying and not wanting Santa to look at me!



Kendall & Sydney posing with Santa!

Mom's beautiful sweater on christmas...she's posing with 2 of her 3 favorite sisters!

Daddy, Mommy and Uncle Garett posing in their amazing sweaters! My daddy remembers giving the sweater he is wearing to his mom way back in the day! funny!

Mom and Dad lookin' so good...I think Dad's sweater is a little tight! I bet they will win the contest at the Christmas Party tonight in Fargo!

Getting excited for gift opening!!

Showing Colston how to drive my new loader...I always pretend that Uncle Joe is driving so I say "voom voom..oh no, Joe!"

Cousin Lane, this is how the semi works.

Opening more gifts...I got pretty warm at grandma's so daddy took off my shirt for a bit.

Once again...very scared of Santa!

All the presents in front of Grandma's tree!

Mom's favorite picture...I'm so excited to get a semi & loader!

Santa's Village

Last week we went to Santa's Village in Fargo and I made cookies with mommy!

I loved eating the dough...Mom thought it was so gross how much I wanted to eat!

At Santa's Village...I LOVED the "cho-cho"...Maybe Santa will bring me a cho-cho for Christmas!

Walking to see the reindeer!

This was Blitzen...yes, I was scared of him!

Family pic at Santa's Village!

Santa! It took some coaxing with a sucker...but I finally sat on Santa's lap! Daddy had to sit there with me though...:)

Decorating a cookie with Mrs. Claus...I loved this part! I almost shoved the whole

cookie in my mouth!

Taking a picture in the sleigh with Mommy

We had to stop back at the train table once more before we had to go home! I love trains!

Christmas Train!

Mommy's best friend Rachel came to stay with us this past weekend...it was sooo good to see her! I hadn't seen her in a long time...but I warmed right up to her. On Wednesday, Mom, Dad and I went to Hankinson to see the Christmas Train! I loved hearing the "cho-cho" coming into town...although I was very scared of the fireworks!

I love shoes just like Mommy - Here I am trying on Rachel's tennis shoes!

Rachel and I cuddling on the couch together!

Showing Rachel all my tractors!

Daddy and I with Grace and her Daddy at the Hankinson Legion.

Logan and I waiting in line to see Santa!

Mommy and I waiting in line for Santa! I was a little scared of Santa, so Mom and Dad didn't get a picture! Maybe I will get one when I go to the Santa's Village tomorrow night!

Daddy and I waiting outside for the Train...brrr...it was soooo cold out! Shortly after this picture we ran into the car and sat there until the train came!

We are all bundled up!

Waiting for the train in the car...I loved flashing our lights, turning on the blinkers and hazards and honking the horn at everyone!

The Train is here! It was so pretty!

Look at all the fireworks! I was soo scared!

Yep, a picture of me being scared!

Finally, Santa's train opened up and Santa's band started rapping and playing christmas songs...it was so fun!

St. Nick

On Saturday St. Nick came to our house and left me treats in my shoes that were sitting on the doorstep! St. Nick, Rupert and friends also came in to say hi to me, but I was very scared...I kept backing away and eventually ran into my room and hid in the corner! Mommy came to get me...but I was pretty scared around St. Nick...he had such a manly, deep voice! :)

*Note: St. Nick, a.k.a. Grandma Kathy, comes around on St. Nicholas Day to make sure all the grandkids are behaving - or they won't get any Christmas presents! She is joined by her friends Memory, Great Gma Dorris, and Janice. We LOVE it!

Rupert, Gma Dorris, Santa's helper, Janice; and St. Nick himself! (Gma Kathy!)

Here are the treats that were left in my shoes...

Mommy gave me a fudge-dipped Oreo - I was so excited so I shoved the WHOLE THING in my mouth! yummy!

Crazy-after-bath hair!

I got my towel wet, so mom ran into my room to get me another towel, and when she returned I had pulled towel #1 into the bath! It was a fun, heavy toy to play with!

Playing with my tractors!

My friends Logan and Grace came to visit one day...this is Logan giving me a HUGE hug before he had to go home! It looks like we are kissing!! yuck!

Mommy made us lasagna for supper, so Grace and I had to take off our white shirts so we wouldn't get them dirty. Then mommy read us all a couple of books!

Turkey Day part II

Mommy found more pics from Thanksgiving in Wyoming!

Playing with my tractors - one of my favorite things to do now!

Notice the size of fork mommy used to eat her pumpkin pie? silly mommy.

Chillin' with the dogs.

Mommy's making oreo balls for everyone - that's her specialty.

Sharing food with Uncle Nick - I love to eat everyone's food!!!

I also like SEE-FOOD! haha!

Uh. Another picture of me eating...go figure!

I love eating cookies for breakfast! Thanks grandma Jan and grandpa Rod!

I loved playing in my "spot" with my tractors and the doggies!
