December 29th

Grandma put Josie in this plastic bin with some toys while the rest of us ate dinner. You can see in some of the pictures how sick our little angel is. Poor baby. We went to urgent care on the 27th, but they didn't find anything. She seems to be getting worse now. :(

December 28th - Story time with the boys

December 28th - Jack's Experiment

Jack must have been missing his weekly science experiments from school. He put a bunch of snow in a bowl to watch its progress. The first set of pictures is from 12:28pm.

Now at 12:53pm there is still a lot of snow.

Now at 1:15pm it is almost all water, but there is still a bit of snow.

Now at 2:12pm all of the snow has melted into water - dirty water.

December 28th - Playing in the snow

It was high time we get these kids out in the snow. We never ended up having a good warm day with wet sticky snow so we could build a snowman, but the boys still had fun in the snow, shoveling, making snow angels, and throwing ice chunks at their favorite mom/aunt.

December 26th - Minnesota Christmas

We had our Texas Christmas early in anticipation of flying to Minnesota on Christmas Eve. Then when our flight was slipped until Christmas day, we decided to have our Minnesota Christmas celebration on the 26th. Crazy holidays this year.

The kids got these great gopher hats from Holly & Espen. Love them!

December 25th - Finally home in Minnesota

Espen was so cute with Josie - always trying to do something to make her laugh.

December 25th - Flying to Minnesota

After a disastrous time trying to fly out of Houston Hobby Airport on Christmas Eve, we made it out on Christmas Day. It was probably for the best, since the airports aren't quite so busy. We were able to have a free seat for Josie since the flights weren't full.

There were lots of funny faces on our flight.

Like father, like son...

Even Josie got in on the funny faces.
