A Look at Winter 2009/2010

Oh boy. I can't believe it's been almost two months since I wrote ANYTHING in the blog! I think Facebook has seen more of me --- my apologies to all that follow! Also, it's just been so crazy the last few months and now it's almost February --- well, tomorrow is February. So, before spring really comes, I thought I'd share some of the highlights of the past two months! Most of this will be photos...so bear with me :)

Winter Play Time ----

If you live here, you better like winter or at least tolerate it :) So, we spent lots of time skating, ice fishing, and skiing. The kids are certainly getting better at learning to stay out longer and enjoy the winter.

Ice fishing at Quartz Lake.

Landon catches the first fish of the day!

Trying out the new skies in Anchorage.

Holiday Time ---

The holiday was a blur. I'm not sure what happened and it's a good thing I have photos to help me remember! Here are some scenes from Christmas and New Year's.

Santa and the reindeer for the Candy Cane Race at Birch Hill. It's not much of a race but the kids have a great time getting candy canes!

Tessa, Landon, and Kalena show off their medals and candy canes :)

Christmas morning! Yahoo!!

Some crazy creature that Landon requested from Santa :)

Spiffy holiday duds and cool xmas presents!

Solstice celebration downtown Fairbanks.

Watching the fireworks with friends. It was so fun and we were so close!

We went to watch the New Year's celebration at the University but my photos didn't come out of that event. It was a really good show too!

Other Fun ----

Besides the holidays and winter play time, we managed to do other things --- including going to work and school --- well, most of the time ;)

Play date with Julie and Will -- Kalena's favorite play date and favorite baby!
