We had such a blast the past few days with family and friends in Minnesota! Claire LOVED the snow and the temperatures were nice enough to tolerate being outside for a while. The best part was watching Claire with her cousins and Grandpa Bruce!
Claire challenged Jeff and Grandpa to a snowball fight. It was short lived because Claire kept her distance and made it very hard for anyone to hit her!
Claire got to spend a night with her cousins at Auntie Shannon's house. They made cupcakes and puppy chow, did some painting, and of course, played in the snow!
Friday night we had Christmas at Uncle Brandon's house. We love to get a picture of the cousins stacked on top of each other whenever we get them all together. Thankfully, Owen is still willing to let them pile on top of him!
The kids drew names this year and each made a list of what they wanted. It was a fun time watching them open their presents.
We got to go snow tubing (a first for Claire) on Saturday morning. We all had so much fun and found out just how exhausting this activity can be!
Once the sun came out, Claire got hot and had to take off a few layers! She loved the snow so much and we loved watching her play in it!
After snow tubing and lunch, we all went to play laser tag. Kids plus Brandon vs. Adults. Kids won all three rounds! They are fast and sneaky little stinkers!
We ended the day by enjoying a wonderful meal at Benihanas, a hibachi grill. The food was excellent and so was the company! We made so many wonderful memories on this vacation that we will treasure forever! God has blessed us with some wonderful family and friends!
